That might be helpful for those of you with knee issues. In a couple weeks I will be having knee surgery for torn cartilage on my medial chondile of my femur (I know, I'm a mess!) and when I put these slippers on I felt an immediate comfort in my knee, like it put it in alignment or something. This did work for me, however, and i also trimmed up the edge of the velcro a bit, too. You can adjust the velcro straps so they don't irritate, but they might not be in the perfect place of where you want them. I agree with other reviewers that Vionic needs to work on placement of the velcro so that it doesn't irritate the top of your foot, and I considered only giving 4 stars because of this issue, but they are otherwise so darn comfortable I had to go with 5 stars. My orthopedic surgeon told me to give the bunion enough room so that the sides of shoes aren't pressing too tightly against it, but, with my foot not too snugly in the flaps, my feet would kind of slide forward and my toes were just too close to the end of the slippers for comfort in the size 9's. The size 9 also bothered my Taylor's bunion after wearing them a while where it happened to hit it, even when I tried to adjust the flaps that cross over the top of the foot. I do the same thing with open toe sandals. I chose the 10 because I also have sensory neuropathy in my toes/feet from lumbar spine issues and I like how they are a little bit long so that I don't hit my toes and injure them. The picture I am posting with this review is the size 10 that I ended up keeping. Because these slippers only come in full sizes, I went back and forth in my mind whether to get a size 9 or 10, and I ended up getting a pair of each to try. I am a definite size 9 1/2 in all shoes-size 9's are too small and size 10's are too big. I wanted something I could slip on easily, but that also had great arch support and these fit the bill perfectly. I was told by my podiatrist to always wear good shoes, even in the house, to support my arches. I have all kinds of foot problems (posterior tibial tendonitis or "fallen arches", heel spurs and a Taylor's bunion or bunionette as they are sometimes called, on my left foot) from working on concrete floors my whole life. These slippers are definitely the most comfortable I've ever owned.
