These shoes are very comfortable, keep warm feet and are of very good quality. I make 37 1/2 and I ordered the size = 37.5 5. They are a little too big, especially if soft inside compacts over time, it is not likely to work out. But I think size 36 = 4 would be too small. FYI, in slippers indicated 38 = 5 = 5 and not 37.5. By cons, which may be annoying to some, is that the plastic sole made some noise on tiled or wooden flooring. What is a little strange for slippers ....
