The absolute best pair of slippers I have ever worn. A lot of reviewers described the inside of these slippers as "fleece" and, given my experience with "fleece" sweatshirts, I was half-expecting the inside fur to be faux. Rest assured, the inside fleece is 100 percent sheep's wool -- and oh my word is it comfortable. These are the hard-soled version, so it takes a moment to get used to. But you can really feel the quality and the warmth. I have some sort of circulatory disorder where my feet are always cold, except when I wear these babies. An Old Friend, indeed. Note: order half a size bigger than you wear in an shoe. If not, it may still fit you -- but not how you'll want it to.

I loved them when I got them (warm and comfy) but they are already falling apart after only 2 years! For this price I expect them to last a lot longer. The plastic edge on the front is cracking and disintegrating, making it so the whole front of the sole is detached. In the garbage they go. Bummer! I would definitely not buy these slippers or this brand again. What a disappointment for such expensive slippers.

Wow...I'm a brand snob, and ordered $1000 worth of slippers from Ugg and others before I kept the Old Friend Bootees. I have a wide, high arched foot, and nothing felt like the glove I wanted my slippers to be...until I tried on the Old Friend Bootees. Now, each night here in the PacNorWest, my toes are the warmest parts of my body...thanks Old Friend!

I really like my Old Friend Bootee's. They became my favorites about 20 minutes after putting them on. My shoe size is 10.5, so with a pair of socks on, the fit is just right. They are soft and warm. The sole is very comfortable and I could tell immediately that it would not slip on wood or tile floors. They're so good when this pair wears out I will get another one.

The shoe is comfortable and warm. The only complaint is in the wide shoe size the heel is also wide which makes it slip while walking. Most people with wide feet have normal heels.

This slipper is terrific! Soft, cushioned inside and sturdy enough to wear outdoors on occasion, even in wet weather. I ordered a ladies ten and they fit great. They do stretch just a little over time and the lining compresses, giving a little more room.

I had made several purchases elsewhere to try and find the right slippers for my husband for Christmas. Zappos came through with these awesome, perfect slippers. When I say he lives in them, he literally does! They are his go to shoes for comfort and warmth. He wears them inside and outside! They are wonderfully constructed. I expect he will get many good years of use and comfort from these slippers. I would not hesitate to buy a second pair or order from Zappos. Their service cannot be beat!

My husband loves them. They are similar to a pair of Uggs he got 5 years ago. Now the Uggs version is twice the price. The Old Friend Bootee is just as comfy and cozy.

As with all footwear offering no adequate arch support, I would strongly recommend a professionally made, or better yet, an arch support insert from online vendors. Beyond that, these Old Friend Bootee slippers are a superb product. You might want to order one size larger to accommodate your inserts.

These are so comfy I have not taken them off since I have owned them. I wear them everywhere. Size was just right. I bought my husband a pair of Emus and these are by far more comfortable. My husband now wants a pair. They are better made than the Emu's also especially the inside, where my husband's have already worn down.

I purchased these for my son and they are great at keeping his feet warm during the chilly evenings. The sevice was prompt and would order from you again.

Zappo's sent a smaller size virtually overnight after my initial order was too large and the arrangements for return of that size worked flawlessly. Great on-line store to deal with.

My order arrived in great shape. The packaging protected the slippers well.The fit was true to size, but keep in mind that these are leather and will stretch a bit. Love the slippers!

You will not find a warmer, more comfortable slipper than this one! The durable sole is perfect to wear around the house, and even an occasional short trip outside to get the morning paper!

Absolutely great shoe! Thick liner, so it is a snug fit... you may want to go a size wider than normal.....but a toasty warm, well constructed shoe. Also, kudos to Zappos service! My original shoe I ordered was a 14E... and they accidentally shipped a M width. I called them, and a real human answered right away, and overnighted me a pair in the wider width, without charging my credit card. They also emailed me a prepaid shipping label to send the old shoes back....so all I had to do is find a UPS drop off point, which happened to be across the street! Great customer service, Zappos! you deserve the credit on that... in today's day and age that is a true rarity!

It is difficult to find items that fit and that you like when your feet are size 14 but my husband loves these! I originally got him the soft sole but the largest size was 14-15...or so they said. They were too small for him so I got the 15 in this style and they fit fine. Now his feet and ankles are toasty warm!

I got these for my husband for Christmas. I liked the quality, and I have borrowed them a few times. The inside of the slipper is very soft and cushy. The soles are great. They are huge on me, but they do not flop off my feet due to the style where it covers most of the foot. I think the only thing is that he cannot run to the grocery store in them, but that was my fault for picking the wrong style! They seem to fit him great, and they are warm.

My husband loves these. They were a little tight when first purchased but after less than a week they fit perfect. Nice and warm. He really likes that you can turn the collar up on the slippers to keep your ankles warmer if you want.

Very warm and somewhat comfortable except that they are still a little too narrow. I hope that by the time I order another pair, they make them in size 13-6E wide.

Ordered Old Friend Bootees last year; my husband loves them, so I ordered the same ones this year also. It put a big smile on my husband's face, and we all know we have to keep our husbands happy. Thank you so much.

These slippers were a gift for my son. The extra wide width is difficult to find and they fit him well and were and he was very pleased. He especially liked the roll-up cuff in case he had to go outside.
