This is my second pair of these slippers, so happy to have found this style! The sizing seems to have changed; I had to return the size I bought last time and get one size bigger but that is okay. They are still warm around my ankles and super easy to slip on and off.

I always break down the backs of my Ugg slippers, the high back of the Alena will keep my feet warmer and stop me from ruining them. I usually wear a 7.5 or 38 eu, and size 8 in Ugg fit perfectly. The port color a nice dark purple. I love them!

These uggs are warm and comfortable. I have been wearing them for about 2 Years now, and the lining is still very thick . I love them! I'm Ordering another pair in a different color.

I use the Alena's for house shoes around the house as I have all hardwood floors. I did notice that even though it says in the description that it has permission to go Outdoors, that isn't the best thing in the winter for the Alena's, they are pretreated for water resistance material from the factory for water resistance and I also cleaned and pretreated them before wearing them and some spotting occurred due to few drops of wet snow... I was not successfully able to get it completely off with the cleaning kit without adding too much moisture,is my GUESS, leaving behind a somewhat discolored rough patch on the top toe portion of the shoe. THIS part is disappointing however as I love these shoe slippers and they are still relatively new, have had them only a cple Months. STILL all n all I still love the alenas and the warmth it provides to the back of your foot and the versatility of folding that over or leaving it up which I mostly wear them up :-)

I have had a pair of the Alena slippers for over a year now and I have never loved anything more! I NEVER wore "slippers"/"house shoes" prior to receiving them as a gift, but there is no way I will ever, ever go back; I live in my Alenas!
Do understand that, as with all UGGs, at first the overall fit will be SNUG -to the point that you may even consider exchanging them for a larger size. RESIST the urge. Within one week, your Alenas will have perfectly and ever so comfortably conformed to your feet.
*Note here, the suede outer allows for a degree of stretch, while the interior sheepskin-lining will "pack-down" in order to mold to your feet, accordingly.
Take it for someone who knows: I first ordered a size 8, which seemed to be a perfect fit. However, within mere days, I was walking out of them with each step. I exchanged them for a 7, which was -honestly, a bit painful in the beginning. But, as I mentioned earlier, the 7s were very soon the perfect size -they felt "tailored" to my feet, exclusively!
The only other thing I would advise, as I would with any leather/suede product, is to purchase the Care Kit sold by UGG, which includes: 1. Protector, 2, Cleaner and Conditioner, 3. Shoe Renew (a freshening spray), and 4. a Suede Scuff Eraser brush.
P.S. If at some point the freshening spray does not seem to work as effectively as when your UGGs were new, UGG actually offers completely new, sheepskin insoles, which can make a world of difference!
Very highly recommend!

I bought two pairs, one for my mom and one for myself, same color same size, the skin looked different. But still good on both shoes. I kept the smoother one for myself. I got these on sale and bought them to use as house shoes. very expensive but so cozy that it is worth the splurge. heard from my boss that they last long...

I was hater of UGGS until these! Most adorbs, I especially loved the cuffed collar. I originally got the lilac, then called back and exchanged for the pink. Helena, the service rep in Vegas, was mad friendly, and made the whole process super easy. They arrived the next day, and I absolutely love them! So warm and cozy, and cute! I love the combo of pink and the wool! They are actually not as powdery and pale as they appear in the picture and the pink is kind of on the light orchid side of pink. The best thing is that they match my pink and white chevron Dooney tote! Sizing-According to the sizing chart and the whole trace your foot on a piece of paper thing, and the reviews, I just went up one size. I am an 11 in the real world, and got these in a 12. There is enough room, but they feel a tiny bit tight around the mid foot; think area under the bow. I heard that they stretch, so I am not too worried, but I also read some reviews that there was unraveling and such around that area where the opening and the front and side of the shoe meet. I hope that doesn't happen! AND THEY DONT look oofishly big, going to a 12. I suppose you need to size up due to all the wonderful fun and fur inside. In any event, I am coming back for the black!

Along with receiving these within 24 hours of my order (incredible!), I am pleased with the shoe. Some reviews note that size should be ordered at least one above normal. I wear a perfect Ferragamo 8.5; have Sorel slides, Acorn moccasins and Bearpaw boots, sheepskins all in 9. (I have a couple pairs of regular shoes in a 9 and they are a little large.) I ordered these in a 10, and they are just right. I wonder if tight sizing has anything to do with the complaints folks have had about stitching giving way. (I will wait and see -- hope not.) I doubt that I will wear these with the collar turned down; the ankle coverage was what appealed to me (and the Acorns give me conventional styling.) So far, cozy, toasty and comfy.
I'd also recommend:
Acorn, Sorel, Bearpaw.

I liked the concept of these slippers, but the comfort just wasn’t there. The slippers fit narrow and tight. I wear a 6 in Uggs and I ordered a 7 in these slippers. I have narrow feet and these were tight on me. The slippers are definitely warm. There is absolutely no arch support or cushion for your heels except for the fur.

I thought these looked great in the gray tone. I always get the natural colored wool interior. I think it's a bonus that the back can be left up or folded down. After returning several other pairs of uggs due to fit, sizing, and quality inconsistencies, I was pretty excited when I opened these and they looked great. I initially noticed the high quality thicker, softer lining, which was missing in a couple other ugg styles that I tried recently. Sadly, the left shoe was narrower (perhaps the right shoe had been tried on repeatedly?) The heel on the right shoe started slipping after wearing around the house for a few minutes. I returned them with the help of great zappos customer service.

I ordered my normal 8, and they were crushing my toes! Go up a size. I’m not thrilled with the quality either.

These were horrible. The leather is stiff and looks like pigskin. The shoe box was so tight I couldn't even put my fingers in it. The heel was so large the shoes were falling off my feet while squeezing my toes like a vice... I tried 6 different pairs... Needless to say they were all returned. UGG is no longer on my wish list.

Where do I start? UGG went from great to really bad. The sizing is totally off. I have 6 shippments of UGG slippers, none of which fits. The toe box in all of them is like a vice (one pair I cannot even put my index finger inside, it's so tight), so tight that my toes went numb within 1/2 hour, and the back is loose. It appears that UGG is making shoes for women who have no toes and no arches, but have elephant-sized heels. Well, I am not one of them. And NO, I DO NOT recommend this product. I am returnong all 6 ill fitting pairs.

BEWARE OF POOR QUALITY AND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I bought a pair of Ugg Alena slippers on Dec 14, 2015, and 4 months later, in March 2016, a seam around the toe area of the slipper came completely loose and undone rendering the slipper unwearable. This is certainly a defective slipper due to poor workmanship and falls under the Ugg 1 year warranty. I mailed the defective slippers in to the warranty department with the warranty claim filled out and a copy of the original receipt, stating I would like to exchange for a new pair of the same slipper as covered by warranty. Several weeks later received the defective slippers back to me with a letter stating the exchange was rejected because the warranty period of 1 year from the purchase date was expired. However, this is not the case as my original receipt shows they were only purchased 4 months ago. I called Ugg customer service and explained what had happened and they said they would do a "warranty re-evaluation" via email. So I received an email which I replied to with pictures of the defective slippers and the original receipt as they asked for, and I have heard nothing back from them for over a week.
I have been an Uggs customer for many years and have spent thousands of dollars on boots and slippers. I have never had a problem before with the quality of their products until now. In addition their customer service and warranty departments are horrible, and the fact that they just blatantly will not fulfill the exchange and have just straight up stopped communicating with me is ridiculous.

Went to the mountains and didn't take them off for five days. Wore them inside and out. They felt snug at first but are perfect now that the wool has compressed a bit around my feet. Definitely recommend.
