I buy my shoes at either Amazon or Zappos since stores don't usually carry larger sizes.

Zappos is great about carrying multiple sizes and offéing a huge variety of styles. Glad you found some.

I love my Haflingers.

My Vionic slippers have made a world of difference to me, since I spend so much time at home. Worth the nearly $60 investment.

I'm kinda picky...too hard a sole and they feel like wearing regular shoes indoors. Too soft and then not supportive. I wear moccasins with soft rubber sole and a leather arch support placed inside....love the soft leather uppers.

Vionics make slippers with arch support. In the summer I wear Vionic flip flops that also have arch support and only wear them indoors.

Today as a matter of fact I've been dealing with gout pain on my right toe. Foot is a bit swollen & I had to go to the doctor in the rain. My usual comfy shoes & sneakers were too painful & tight. I wore my dark ,open back Vionic felt slippers with hard waterproof sole....they were a lifesaver!
