I just purchased these slippers. The round metal piece hurt my foot for about the first 10 wears. Definitely a great buy for new gamers! Ive just ordered my second package, and Im getting used to the taste -- I like it now. Gave to my daughter who has very thin feet, and the said the toe loop rubbed skin raw. 😔 I was expecting that when i walk, it flops under foot . Using it for my momma celebration Overall great & worth the price!
