Great hiking/snow boot - These boots fit great right out of the box, same shoe size, I’m using them for snow shoveling and hiking in the winter, great look, very light, I would reccommend to anyone.

Stiff Pronation - Just got these in the mail. Out of the box felt very light and looked good. Put them on, different story. The shoe itself pronated (rolled in) and the toe box was narrow. The upper part of the boot was very stiff. Love Zappos, not these boots. Going to try Baffin.

The North Face Men's Four Shadows GTX® I purchased these for my husband who works in Minnesota...he had taken a couple of falls on the ice over the past year, and concerned for his health, did some research and decided on these boots. He LOVES them! While they are a little expensive, we feel they are well worth the money!

Other than constant rubbing 6" above the ankle, I'm pretty happy with the shoes. They are warm, light and comfortable. The rubbing is getting better more I wear them.

My husband has worn the Imperial Deer slippers for at least 8 years. Every Christmas he always asks for anotoher pair. They're not sold in our area, so I find it so nice that I can now order them off the internet. -Sherry

I am so glad that I did purchase a new pair. I purchsed two pairs of the Imperial Deer from a L.B. Evans dealer in Chicago twenty five years ago. One pair I worn for twenty three years and still looks good except for some stains I could not get them off. The second pair still looks pretty new. I decided to purchase a third pair if I can find a Evan's dealer. I searched all the Queens shoe stores but failed to find one. I told my daughter about it. She suggested that I look into the internet but hesitated to purchase it from Zappos because some customer's comments that it is now made in China. Because of Zappos' 110% refund promise, I decided finally to try it. I am so glad that I did. The pair came a week ago and I even hesitated to open the box. But when I open the box it brightened my eyes. It was in every way an LB Evan's slipper and in every way better than the US made Evans'. I have worn it since and it was so comfortable so yesterday I threw the first pair away. KKW in Queens, NY

Great Slipper! Best Xmas gift for Dad for over 20 years! Evans Imperial slipper has been Dad's favorite for over 20 years. Xmas would not be the same without this gift. At 78 years old, he wears this slipper year round as a regular day time walking shoe. Dad raves about the comfort, look and overall wear. I used to purchase Evan's at Nordstrom's but they recently came up with their own name brand which is not the same quality as the original Evans. The Nordstrom's model is less expensive, but the quality does not measure up. I am glad to have found Zappos online so that I can contine the tradition. I give this slipper five gold stars! You can't go wrong with this one.

Great for granddads - I have worn this shoe for the last 10 to 15 years with much pleasure. I find it very conveinent to be able to wear this shoe both inside and out without having to worry about the soles. I have taken the older shoes and used them for my real "dirty" work outside and use the newer pair for inside wear. Great comfort and one of the few shoes I can find in EEE width.

The only slippers he'll ever wear. This is my husband's second pair of L.B. Evans slippers. He asked for them specifically. His first pair lasted 10 years. He loves the comfort and the look, and how well they hold up. He is very happy with them.

Nice but oversized - These slippers are nice, but they run large. Ugg slippers have a bit more fleece cushion inside.

L.B. Evans Imperial Deer - This is probably the sixth pair of this slipper that I have purchased. Living in as small a community as Carmel I was not able to purchase another pair locally. Thank goodness for the internet and you. And gratefully I was able to toss the worn out pair I had been wearing into the trash.

Long-time Favorite - This purchase was made to replace an identical pair of L.B. Evans shoes which lasted several years and had themselves replaced an earlier identical pair. The shoes are satisfactory in every way, and I have no desire to seek out an alternative style or brand to replace them. They are comfortable and sturdy enough to be worn outdoors to retrieve the morning paper in the rain.

Great slipper - I have always used this slipper, purchasing it at retail stores. I can no longer find it that way and so I ordered it through your .com. I have this slipper in black (or dark navy). Do you ever carry this color or only the tan. It is very comfortable and durable and would like another color. Let me know when the darker color can be purchased.

Great Slipper - My husband will only wear these slippers and has been doing so for many years. They're comfortable and durable yet increasingly difficult to find in stores. He needs a new pair every 5 years or so (usually less frequently than that) and I'm glad Zappos has them for me.
