I have short wide feet. These are stretchy so they accommodate the width. I wear a 6EE shoe and size S in these slippers.

I recommend to anyone buying these to go up one size if you are on the back end of the size range. Example if you wear a size 7 and the stated sizes are S (5-6), M (6-7), L (8-9), XL (9-10); I would buy a L instead of a M. Like with a size 6, I would buy a M instead of a S. Same is true with 1/2 sizes, go to the next size.I recommend to anyone buying these to go up one size if you are on the back end of the size range.

There is no padding, The sole part of the shoe has a non-slip coating and feels as though you're walking barefoot. The sizing is off; I wear a 9 1/2 so I ordered the xl (10-12) and they were too small, I was disappointed to wear them with my toes scrunched up, but they did loosen up a bit. Also, they do not last long because sole and coating are too flimsy.

"Durability" varies, depending on how often you wear them. I've already worn holes in one pair and I've had them only a few months; they can be mended, but if the holes are in the soles, it's a challenge to mend around the foot-shaped traction spots.

Like most slippers, small=5-6, medium=7-8 (or just 7), large=8-9 (or just 8) and XL=9-10 (or just 10). I would NOT size up, as some have suggested, because they are very STRETCHY and you may not be able to keep them on unless you have really, really wide feet (like you take a WW or more); I've found all the ones I ordered totally true to size, and I always wear a 8-9 in most slipper styles, so I order a L in these.

They are GREAT for swollen feet because they have natural stretch to them and will mold to your feet, no matter what. I've been recommending them for people with diabetic feet since I ordered my first pair. They will fit snug but not uncomfortably so--it's a natural attribute of that particular fabric (it's the same thing used for drink can holders, so it's designed to stretch.)
