TEMPUR-PEDICMen's Arlow Clog Slipper,Charcoal Suede,US 9 M

I am a female. I had been looking for a long time to replace Tempur-pedic type slippers I purchase many years ago from Brookstone. These are very close to them. I am a women's size 8-1/2--9 Med. shoe. I ordered the (men's size) 8 and 9's. The width is snug (especially for a man). I went with the size 8's (normally I would take a man's size 7). Their was no difference in the width between the two sizes, only the 9 was a little longer. My last one's did not have a thicker lining like these so that is probably why they seem snugger. These also have a higher lip at the heel so I have to get use to that. All in all I have been wearing they for a while and they are very comfy and I like them alot. For sizing, women should go (1) size down and men should go 1-2 sizes up.
