My comments are based on 2 pair of these, (in size 11M) and I wear them for SEVERAL hours daily. A proper fit for me is narrow to medium, but I can wear wider MARKED footwear-and NON-premium shoe/slipper sizing these days is not precise by anyone's estimation. Weight about 170. Your results may vary. The lacing is effective as decoration, don't expect much adjustability from it-unless your wish is to to bring the rear of the slipper forward. The leather boot lacing used stretches over time and after you readjust it the first time expect it to loosen forever afterwards-unless you double knot.
I really liked the fit of these out of the box-the pile lining made them fairly snug, but not overly tight.
However, the synthetic pile lining compresses quickly and they get significantly looser after a few hours.
That was fine, because I usually use 1 or 2 additional innersoles, and out of the box I couldn't do that.
A 1/4" thick compressed wool felt innersole was fine for a month or 2, with the slippers still snug enough to not fall off easily. However they continued to become progressively looser.
About this time the stitching at the tongue junction started coming loose on one side of one slipper, so I restitched that junction on both sides of both slippers. That helped snug the slippers up a bit.
Another month or so the slippers were loose enough for me to insert DOUBLE thick foam innersoles on top of the wool ones. (Not memory foam or gel innersoles.) They were snug again for another month or 2.
About this time I added a thin fiberglass arch support to each slipper.
By a month or 2 later the slippers were extremely loose, allowing the rear half of my foot to slide side to side quite a bit, and the slippers to slip off in situations where they would not have previously.
I restitched/overstitched about 2 inches of front lacing from the tongue forward on one slipper and that has taken some of the looseness out. (I made lacing holes slightly inboard of the original ones with an awl.) My next adjustment on any new pairs of these will be to make new holes for the decorative lacing further up the tongue from from the original holes.
One last thing.
The soles of these slippers have held up remarkably well-enough so, that (to me) making the several adjustments was warranted.

I have been buying this slipper from Minnetonka before, they fit perfectly and look good. They cost a little more but my feet are worth it and they last a long time.
