Customer Reviews UGG Alena

I bought these because I wanted warm slippers that I could wear around the house (and outside to the mailbox). The style fit the bill perfectly, but I am a little disappointed with the size. I usually wear a size 9. The 9's were too small, so I got a size 10. They fit but still feel a little snug, and I certainly can't wear them with socks (which may be a problem in the middle of the winter?) I am hoping that they loosen up over time.

I am not yet sure if I am keeping these. Ugg is my favorite shearling brand, especially with slippers and these are really beautiful, plush and warm. Like another review, I was looking for something to keep exposed ankles warm. However, I am not sure I find the high back comfortable. With any amount of walking around, it feels like it will be irritating on the back of my ankle, with the way it is tapered inward. Folded down, it is bulky and awkward. I have placed a second order for the lower profile slipper-mocs (Ugg Ansley) and will have to re-evaluate. I wanted to love these, but I am just not sold.

I have two complaints about these - the sizing, and that the rubber does not cover the entire sole. How strange for outdoor-indoor shoes! It is hard to imagine that they would not wear out fast, even just over carpet. As far as the sizing. I normally wear a 6 or, in most closed shoes a 6½. I ordered a 7 and they are still slightly too short. So what am I supposed to do - try an 8? That would be a first for me! I cannot imagine that they would not be too big, in looks as well. So I am not sure what to do. I really like the style and overall they are heavenly comfortable. Best of all they can be stepped into and do not need to be pulled on with your hands like the classic Uggs - which I have two pairs of and also love, but for the milder months it is nice to just be able to easily step into something cozy in the morning on my way to the kitchen and then slip them off as soon as things warm up. The classic bootie styles, even the shortest, are a little bit of a pain to get on and off and work better for long term wear. Yet I am finding, like many other customers, that these more shoe-like styles have these strange sizing issues. So I am still on the fence as to whether I will keep them.

Love these! So cute and comfy. However, I did find that they ran very small. I originally got a size 8 which is my normal size and they were extremely tight, couldn't even fit my foot in with a sock on. I exchanged for a 9 (I have never had to wear a size 9 in my life) and they fit much better, but are still a little snug! But like all Uggs they loosen up a little after some wear.

I love the fit and feel of these slippers, but I am sorely disappointed that the stitching hasn't held twice. I read this in a couple of other reviews, as well. They feel great, but the black shows wear very quickly.

Absolutely love these slippers. Extremely comfortable. I'd live in them if I could. They do run a full size smaller (ie. I am a 6 and fit in a 7), so keep that in mind when ordering.

The slipper is soft and wonderful feeling on one's feet. However, had to return as was a little short. Also, if you have a high instep, it is extremely difficult to get your foot into slipper. The bow on front of slipper is decorative only...not for adjustments. I bought these for a gift for person who wears 8 1/2 M to W. I ordered size 9. Too short. If I order again, will probably try a 10. As always, customer service from Zappos superb. I wonder if sizing is off a little due to being made in China?
