Customer Reviews The North Face ThermoBall™ Traction Mule II

These are super Comfortable, super warm, rugged slippers. I am not worried about dog hair or even sweeping up broken glass in these house shoes. These are perfect for everyday life!

Warm & toasty.

I bought these for my fiance for Xmass and he loves them. Warm, comfortable, stylish.

The warmest Low profile "slipper" I've found yet. Designed to be worn with liner socks. Traction is very grippy even on a wet. Holds up very well.

These mules are pretty good. They are really comfortable and warm. Would recommend them to anyone.

These shoes are very comfortable and warm. I would recommend them to all friends and family.

Unique, stylish and comfortable. The sole however is way softer than expected with no proper arch support.

Baffin Cush vs North Face Thermoball. Similarities: slip on, sleeping bags for your feet, comfy, no arch support. Differences: sizing- Baffin are sized 1/2 size too large, order 1 size down. North Face are sized 1/2 size too small, order one size up. Sole- Baffin grippy soft. North Face grippy hard. Fit- Baffin extrawide, drawstring around opening. North Face narrow-normal, elastic around opening. Price- North Face are 2 1/2 times more expensive then Baffin. Question if this is discontinued item. Both are toasty. Neither allows you to simply slip on and go...need a slight finger adjustment for back. neither designed for outside use in my opinion. They will fall off your feet in damp weather or with exertion.

The slippers are tight to put on but once on they are comfortable. Walking in them is a pleasure once you realize that the soles have excellent grip.

Honestly these are not what I was expecting from North Face. This mule is not as easy to get on as you'd think. It runs tight around the opening so I had to return and order a size bigger just so my dad could get his foot in. I wish the men's style was more like the women's, which has a lot more play around the opening. Still they do exactly what the say. They keep your feet warm and dry. Great for doing small errands like getting the mail. Working in the garage or running up town.

Unfortunately although the slipper was comfortable it just didn't work for me as an indoor house slipper. It was warm enough but would often make my toes sweat and resulted in, even with socks, my feet staying cold for long periods of time. Just not effective. Sad but I'm going to have to see what the return policy is for this slipper and look for something better.
