Yes @Son Of Saphir I own the William. I took my normal size, UK 8 and they seem to fit well. As I only use them as a travel slipper, they have not had much wear. So, I can’t really comment on stretching. They are very soft, so I expect them to over time.

With the massive increase in Church’s prices I have been thinking about a pair of Draper Grecian slippers, and should like to hear any comments from members.

@Son Of Saphir - I own the William and have used the pair for several years.

My take is:
1. Fits TTS
2. Did not stretch much or at all - these are leather lined and fairly structured for a slipper

I've used a pair of the Williams daily for about three years. No stretch, and I think they run a little small if you're using UK sizing. Their own website recommends the same size in US as in UK:

Size Guide | Slippers and Boots | USA | UK | Draper of Glastonbury

Here are all sizes and fitting guidelines for Draper boots and slippers for men and women. Slipper and boot sizing from UK to USA and from UK to Continental.

I'm generally a UK 9 and a US 10 and I got the williams in UK 9. I think they fit well, but if they offered half sizes, I'd might get a UK 9.5.

I don't like to melodramatically comment, but I will.

€420 for slippers? That is outrageous. I mean, above and beyond the quality of Church's and yada yada yada...It's so excessive that I find it almost morally reprehensible. First, that they consider it reasonable in view of what the traders of the materials and labour in producing it would earn; and, second, that there is a large enough number of clients they can market it to who would pay that amount given all the needs in the world. I only need to look at my daughter to think, €420 for slippers? Well, there's better places to put my money.

This type of stuff I always thought was in the almost unbelievable realm of Prada and Gucci and celebrities and Zoolander.

Church's greatly raised prices to fit into a more prestigious market.
