Great Flat - I purchased this shoe in a silvery-white color for a trip to the Caribbean. The shoe is comfortable and looks great with jeans and capris.

Black patent ballet must have - If you have only one ballet flat - this is the one to own. Pliner comfort - off course - and the perforations make it fun!

Very versatile shoes - These shoes have become a staple of my casual spring wardrobe. They seem to add a little panache to any outfit and are as comfortable as they are cute!

Great versatile shoe - This shoe was just a little snug when I first tried it, but it was slight enough that I knew it would feel fine within a couple of wearings. It did! Great shoe for capris, skirts, long pants. The peek toe gives it a very stylish look.

A comfortable & versatile flat that complements skirts as well as trousers-casual and slightly dressy.

Great! This is a very cute, very, very comfortable shoe. I ordered it in white and it will be my summer favorite I am sure. I usually wear a narrow and this works in a medium width.

Front of shoe is very, very narrow - I ordered up .5 size to 9.5 M. Unable to wear and always take a 9 M. Don't know about arch support, as cannot wear.

Love these slippers. They are really warm but they do not look washable.

Cushions - These are the second pair of Minnetonka slippers I have purchased. I literally wore a hole in the lining of the first ones. I owned the first pair for two years and wore them EVERY day. I live in New Orleans where it is quite warm almost all year long and they were never too hot on my feet. They are also great to wear outside when needed. They even fit my very narrow foot. When I wear these out, I will buy another pair! I own MANY Zappos shoes and have never had a problem with returns, etc. Thank you Zappos!

FABULOUS SLIPPER! I have been buying cheap slippers for years. They last one winter and then I need a new pair. I decided this year that I would shop for a decent pair of slippers. I work from home so I nearly live in these and they are fantastic! They look great and they are very warm! They're also made extremely well and I can't imagine that I'll need a new pair next winter. I highly recommend these slippers!

Just right - I'm going to sound like Goldilocks here. Got tired of department store type packaged slippers with too much wobbly foam on the bottom and thought I'd upgrade. Wasn't simple. Of the other brands I tried 1) some of the fashion-forward styles were costly, but not well made - hard glue on the seams hurts. 2) alleged long-wearing indoor-outdoor slippers were too hard or itchy 3) a popular mail-order catalog's best-selling slippers were not warm enough 4) some styles were just too shapeless and clumpy, while others were too, well, prissy. These Minnetonka mules fit close enough to the foot that you're not drifting around in them and have just a bit of taper to the toe area. The insides are completely without irritating seams, labels, or tags. The faux fur shapes to your feet after a bit (allow for some break-in time) and they are cozy without being hot as sheepskin can be. Just enough support to feel secure without being rigid. They do look like slippers, not like fashion shoes - but then slippers are what they are! They're about the color of a golden retriever. Reasonable price for good quality.

A little snug in width. Lining is warm & cozy; can make feet a little sweaty over time.

This pair is not as comfortable as the last I bought. The bottom has become packed down too fast.

Comfy but a little too worn - These slippers are extremely comfortable and warm. They fit snugly and are very practical house shoes. But after less than a month of owning them (and only wearing them in my apartment), the suede has mysteriously gotten very dirty. Cleaning suede is difficult, and I think they are just going to get dirty again, so there is not much to be done. And for the price, I expect something that remains presentable after a few weeks of use. But aesthetics aside, I'm very happy with these slippers.

Warm tootsies! These are great slippers for the price. My feet are warm, and the soles are substantial. You can wear these out to the driveway to get the newspaper.

This is a very comfortable slipper. It feels soothing to tired feet and is well constructed enough to slip outside to get the morning paper.
