Had a pair since 2010 or so. They're starting to fall apart now but they lasted 5 long cold New England winters. They've been great. I can wear them outside to take out the trash, and to the unfinished basement. The treads are good, i don't slip on the stairs and they don't fall off. Keep the feets toasty on frosty days. Will buy another pair.

The seams aren't finished--as soon as I put my foot in the slipper, I could feel the edges of the sheepskin on my feet. I've never had sheepskin slippers with raw edges sticking into the inside of the slipper before. Perhaps I've just never bought more commercialized brands before.

I love these slippers. I highly recommend Minnetonkas in general and this style in particular. These are the warmest house slippers I've ever tried, and I love that they have a sturdy sole that lets me walk out to the porch or the garage without changing shoes. I bought them to replace my old (non-sheepskin) Minnetonkas. The sheepskin lining is thick, fluffy, and very, very warm. I immediately felt the difference from my old fleece-lined Minnetonkas. The outer suede is soft and flexible, and the stitching on the suede and between the suede and sole feel very sturdy. I like that the cuff of these boots can be worn up or down, but I've been wearing them up only, for maximum warmth. I wear a size 7.5 W, but went for a 7 W since these slippers don't come in half sizes. If you wear a half size, I would definitely recommend sizing down instead of up. The suede will stretch pretty quickly and form to your feet over time. I bought an 8 regular for my last pair of Minnetonkas, and they were way too big by the time I got rid of them, even though they felt just right when I first wore them. Slippers like this should be snug but comfortable when you put on a brand-new pair, in order to account for the stretching over time.

The overall quality is not the same as it used to be years back. What I have found is that most of the mocassins from this company have had quality issues but they still remain one of the best Mocsssins out there. They do keep your feet nice and warm on winter days and they are very comfortable to wear. The only warning I will give you is that the sheepskin does wear down fairly quickly.

By far best slippers ever. Wear a 9, got a 9 were a tiny snug but after a few days stretched perfectly. Love that you can wear them up or folded down..No logos or tags..Simple clean look of quality.

This is my second pair of these. I love them! The first pair lasted about 2 years before the wool started rubbing off in some spots, but I still wore them another year after that. Here in Kansas City, winter gets really really cold, but my feet stay warm in these. I like that I can unroll the top part when it’s really cold to keep my ankles extra warm! I wear a 6.5-7 and ordered a 7 in these and they’re perfect... they stretch out over time, so they should be a little tight at first.

My feet measure 8 wide so I ordered a 9 because I like roomy slippers and always wear socks with my winter slippers. The 9 was too tight, even without socks on. There also was a weirdly-placed tag inside the slipper, which would have felt annoying if the slippers were worn without socks. The shearling is a nice quality but these are going to be returned.

Cute but too tight on my instep. I bought these in an 8W and 9W and the 8 was too small, the 9 was too big. It was nice to find a slipper option that offered wide sizes - the width felt great. The top of the slipper was very tight on my high instep. If the 8 or 9 fit lengthwise, I would not have been able to keep them due to this issue.

I love the tan color and the finish. They just feel wonderfully indulgent, cozy and warm as it's getting cold. My favorite feature is that they have a rubber sole which those bought on markets often don't.

Order 1 full size up. These are awesome, comfy and the best thing to step out of bed into when I start my day, or after sundown here at home.

This is a well-made slipper, comfy and cozy. I love the warmth and softness of wearing them. A great feature is that the cuff can be worn down or it can be worn up for extra warmth. The price is good compared to similar styles of other brands. The only thing I could ask for would be arch support for those days when I wear them all day.

Have been buying these slippers for years. I live in them at home. For me they last 3 - 4 years before looking really bad from wear. Have never had the seams come apart like another reviewer reported. Am on my 4th and 5th pairs. Buying 2 now since Minnetonka discontinued my favorite mocs, and want to make sure I have these for years to come. I'm going up a size since they run small. The sheepskin is thick but it's also the length of the sole. Be aware that they do stretch but not quickly.

This is the second pair I've purchased. Zappos is the best and provides amazing customer service. I ordered at least eight pairs of slippers and wore them all over a few weeks. I was desperately looking for support and comfort for my aching feet. These were the best for me. Thanks to Zappos outstanding return policy, I was able to try many pairs of support slippers and ended up with the ones I had before. I'm extremely happy with them and look forward to putting them on when I get home.

It doesn't seem possible to have a hard time finding durable, comfortable, warm sheepskin slippers, but I have had a difficult time. I am so glad to have found these Minnetonka sheepskin slippers. They seemed a bit tight when I first tried them on but they loosened quickly. They are exceedingly warm; it's wonderful and they are very comfortable. I will let you know how durable they are. The last pair of sheepskin slippers I purchased (not this brand) fell apart in 9 months. I would expect slippers to last a few years at this price. Time will tell.

I owned 2 previous pairs of these slippers, both in size 9. They are great for winter and lasted a long time, so I ordered another pair when my old ones finally wore out. The 9s were way too short, and they don't come in half sizes, so I ordered a 10. Much better, although probably a little longer than I need. I have a very narrow foot, so I like that these are on the narrow size.

They felt very thin on the bottom. I am going to return. I bought old friend slippers and then didn't even last one year. Sigh. Still looking

Zero support. Completely flat footbed. The suede is very nice and the sheepskin feels heavenly. But over $75 for a slipper with no support? Ridic. Sending back.

It is important to remember when you first get these slippers that they may feel a bit snug on width, but they will stretch. This is my second pair and they have been some of the most comfortable slippers I have owned.

I love these slippers so much. They are my absolute favorite. They are so comfy and warm that I never want to take them off. I love them so much that I purchased a backup pair in gray for when my current brown ones get worn out. I usually wear a 9 or 9 1/2 in shoes and in these I got the 9 and they’re perfect. They are a bit tight at first but they stretch and mold to your foot over time. My grandmother saw mine and liked them so I got her pair for this past Christmas and now she loves them too.

These are so super comfy and warm. I got a pair for my grandmother for Christmas and she loves them so much so when I was in need of a new pair of slippers I thought I’d give these a try. I’m usually between a 9 and 9.5 but got the 9 and they fit perfect.

I purchased these for my elderly mother who is always cold--no matter what time of year it is. She loves them and has commented on how warm her feet are now and how much she loves them. She has slim feet so she must wear socks so they will stay on properly. I have a much older pair and can attest to the fact that natural sheepskin definitely does breath so your feet don't get damp and cold. Eventually, the fur does wear off in spots inside the slipper, but they keep going and going (my slippers are at least 6 years old and still in good shape). It's great to be able to run out to get the newspaper or mail without changing shoes!

I’m buying these slippers based only on the positive reviews and the reputation of Minnetonka and Zappos! I have owned Minnetonka moccasins before and the quality and comfort speak for themselves. I have been on a two year quest to find quality slippers that last. I’ve been frustrated and disappointed with the poor quality and of course in hindsight realize that I should have started at Zappos in the first place! I can’t wait to get my new slippers and dare the cold to phase me! I will be back with another review once I start wearing them!
