Customer Reviews SOREL Nakiska™

These are the best slippers I've owned. I received them for Christmas from my husband. It's almost Thanksgiving, & they've held up extremely well considering that, with the exception of summer in upstate NY, I have worn these almost all the time, and many times out of the house accidentally...at first. I was diagnosed this year with a neuromuscular disease that causes severe muscle spasms. I can no longer work, drive or even do grocery shopping for my family. Needless to say, I have been at home a lot or at this or that medical facility. I must have some arch support for my feet to allow me walk more than a couple dozen steps. I can walk in these further than I can walk in my Clarks & Ariat's (which were both purchased for comfort first, then style). Sorel Nakiskas have a great arch for me, which is tricky to find in a slipper, and I've received many compliments when I've worn them out. The sole is in great shape considering about 9 months of almost constant use. I noticed about a month ago that the footbeds are (understandably ) worn, making the sole feel more dense when I walk & I could not find footbed replacements. Also, the "sherpa" pile inside calmed down within the first few months, which was good for me as they can get very warm, even without socks. As a result, they've only recently developed an odor, which is uncommon for me, but had to happen with their continued use. I highly recommend these to everyone shopping for slippers, especially if you like the feel & look of Uggs, without the price. I like the style better as well. And Zappos? If you're reading this review, odds are you already know that they can't be beat. Free shipping - both directions if necessary - great selections and V.I.P. treatment?! Zappos is to on-line shopping, what the Sears-Robuck catalogue once was to our parents & grandparents...quality with sophistication & style.

I love these slippers! As a stay at home mom, I spend a good portion of the day in my house shoes. I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot, and I need good arch support in all my shoes. These definitely fit the bill. My previous house shoes were actually making my foot worse, so I needed some new ones. I chose the Nakiska based on the reviews of arch support. I usually wear a 7 or 7.5, so I ordered the size 7 but felt it was a little tight. The size 8 fits perfectly with or without socks. The sole seems quite non-slip but is still very flexible, the lining is soft and warm, and they look nice, too. I highly recommend these slippers to anyone with foot problems requiring shoes with decent arch support.

I have cold hardwood floors in my house and need slippers year round to stay warm. These are by far the most comfortable I've owned. The arch support is pretty good as others have stated, and are very well-made. I'll definitely buy these again. My foot is a little wide due to tailor's bunions, but the slippers fit perfectly. Not too tight or too loose. Great slipper.

I got these for my wife at Xmas after reading Zappos' customer reviews of these slippers and some similarly priced slippers. She wears these every day and loves the fit and how warm they are. Probably the favorite gift out of everything I bought her. I recommend these for the quality and price. Great product.

Just what I wanted...cozy warmth for wintry mornings and nights. Size 10 is a nice fit for my normally size 9.5 feet. Only problem is how to keep the suede clean. Water spots the material and a suede brush doesn't seem to help. Still, I love 'em.

I usually wear an 8.5N and was a little concerned the slipper would be too wide. So, I ordered a half size down and the size 8 fits perfectly. My toes aren't all the way at the end, it feels secure, and the slipper is very warm and comfortable. I may order in another color.

Love these slips! So comfortable that I have forgotten I had them on a couple of times when I left the house.

These are outstanding slippers. I have a wide size 8 foot and ordered the regular size 8. They were snug at first but are molding nicely. My feet are the warmest ever and have adequate foot support. I just love them!

Comfortable and warm! Great fit, nice support. Love these and would buy more.

These are very comfortable and of very good quality for me. I wear a size 7 in a dress shoe (7.5 in tennis shoes and hiking/snow boots) and the 7 in these slippers are perfect, either barefoot or with socks. These keep my feet really warm with or without socks...my feet tend to always be cold in just socks/without shoes even inside the house in winter (Iowa...brrr!) and these are perfect for warmth. The lining (wool & acrylic blend) sheds a bit at first then mats down. The lining on the edge of the shoe opening and inside does get a little ragged-looking within a week but who cares for around the house, right? It is comfort, including warmth of course, that I wanted and these are perfect in that department. A month after owning them I did insert my orthotics on top of the insert (did not remove insert) and my particular feet still fit just fine in them (not pushed up and out as they do with some shoes if I don't take out the liner/insert). It is cool you can remove the liner, though, and would be especially cool if you could order replacement inserts yet I can't find on their site where you can. Bummer about that. I'm actually going to order a back-up pair since I personally haven't had as good of success as these (save for a pair of LLBean slippers I found over 10 years ago that they no longer make). Go Sorel and Zappos! Definitely worth the money for me. Pay less and you will get lesser quality. Pay more, and they are overcharging in my opinion. Nice, non-skid bottom too.

Very cute and comfortable, only problem is my heel kept slipping out the back and I prefer a slipper that stays up around my back heel.

Nice wide toe area, warm. Back a bit low, foot slides out with each step. Wool lining a bit itchy.

I love these slippers! They are comfortable and give great arch support. I have some arthritis pain in my hip and these have helped. I work from home and often wear them all day long! One drawback is that the wool blend fur around the ankle is skimpy and matted down very quickly. I wish they had more fur. Other than that, a great slipper.

Very comfortable slippers that mold to your foot. They even can handle a trip to the mailbox.

Love these! Very warm and comfy. I have bought 4 pairs of the (2 for myself) and 2 as gifts!

Got these last winter and love them. I wear in house as a slipper but they have great support and you could wear them with jeans. Only change I'd like to see is a genuine shearling lining instead of the wool blend - then they'd be perfect!

I love them; they are my third and I have given them as presents.

Really like this slipper, especially because it runs narrow. Wish it came in 1/2 sizes as the 10 was short and 11 pretty long, but kept them anyway.

I just got a pair of Nakiskas for Christmas and have been wearing them constantly around the house for the past 2 weeks. I love them! They are so cozy, warm and comfortable. I would definitely recommend them. In fact, I want to wear them out of the house so I'm thinking of purchasing a second pair!

I've been looking for a slipper with good arch support and total foot cushioning for a while, and finally found it! This slipper is terrific, although at first I was ready to send it back because I'm used to wearing slipper you just slip into without a back on the heal, but once I got used to that, and broke them in a little, you'd have a hard time convincing me there was anything better available...and I love having the back now that I'm use to it. It's much better for my feet. I smile every time I slip into them!

Great shoe...I would not hesitate to recommend these slippers to others. They fit really good - not too snug or loose (I am a B width).

These are the most comfortable slipper I have owned. Can wear inside and outside.

Very happy with these slippers! Much better than Uggs because they have arch supports. Great quality. I was afraid they were mules, but no, they stay on like a full slipper even though they are a bit lower in back and easy to slip on.

I've been searching for a pair of warm, cozy, and comfortable slippers for some time now. Thank goodness for Zappos where I can try on several different styles and sizes to get just the right one. I tried the Ugg Cozy and Scuffette, but they just did not have the comfort level I wanted. I also tried the Old Friend Loafer Moc, but it chafed against my ankle, so I ended up returning all three. Because of the reviews, I ordered a size 10 as well as my regular size 9 in the Sorel Nakiska. I am glad that I did because the 9 was too tight and the 10 was just perfect. My feet are a little on the wide side and I like to wear socks with my slippers. These slippers are so comfortable and warm. I work at home and my feet always seem to be cold. I can see myself wearing these slippers for the rest of the winter. I am very pleased with my purchase! The search for the perfect slipper is finally over!

I was tired of the typical slipper and decided to try the Sorrel based on all the positive reviews. They are perfect! I expect them to wear well and they offer more support than cheaper slippers. I ordered the 7 and 8 as I wear a 7 1/2. Like most reviewers, I found the 7 just right and the 8 definitely too big. I would recommend these slippers and look forward to wearing them!
