so far just using them as house slippers, but eventually they'll be my boat slippers too. The traction on the bottom is nice and it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a real show in the house. I have sensitive skin and the heel portion that comes forward has a seam that's a little annoying so far. I'm hoping that as they loosen up, it'll mold to my feet better and I won't notice it. But my feet are super toasty, my ankles are warm, and overall, very comfortable.

I use these for house shoes and also for campsite shoes after a day of hiking. They feel great! Good traction and support for a slipper. One drawback is they are not really breathable. They are warm which is nice, but even around the house, my feet get sweaty in them, and I do not have very sweaty feet in general. I think wearing socks would solve this, but I'm kind of opposed to wearing socks with slippers so I've just been dealing with it.

Comfy and warm but they have no traction. Slip all over in the snow in these. Took two steps on compact snow and went flying! Good for summer backpacking and in the car. Not good for snowy lots!

Great booties and warm. Tread is great too. Only exception is the weight. Would love to have a good tread at half the weight for hiking.

I found myself with cold, cold feet when I sat at the computer for a long time, and my normal slippers weren't doing their job. I went looking for down booties - like my husband's old camping booties (that we gave away when doing a Covid clean up of gear!) However, these are better - they have a lightly treaded sole that works well for a quick trip outside (eg. to the compost bin). They are warm, but not outrageously warm. I wish the insole was cushier; if I can find a thicker cushion that fits, I'll replace it. And the slippers don't slip on and off effortlessly, needing a good tug, but that is because the insulation comes up to the ankles. All in all, a great item.

I bought this as a camp shoe for a long hike. They served me well in sometimes damp conditions, keeping my feet warm. The only thing I would have changed was a little more support in the sole. The footing felt very flat, hard and a little flimsy, not cushioned at all.

Great campsite shoe, but runs very very big. I ordered two full sizes smaller than my usual size and that's with trying it on with a wool sock.

I have a room in my house with a really cold floor and my feet freeze. I needed something for warmth and these are perfect for that. I wear them with a thin sock and my feet are toasty. I just wish that North Face would make their boots a little more supportive. They always put in a completely flat inner sole which I don't find that comfortable, since I stand in them for hours. I wear a size 8 and I bought a size 8 and they fit perfectly.

I love them! I just wish they came in half sizes. But they are super warm and have decent traction which is awesome!

I got these after I got the mules and were madly in love with them. I had always had higher slippers so thought I would like these too. They were very nice but didn't hold onto my feet as nicely as the mules did so I sent them back and ordered a second pair of the mules. Personal preference only. They are very well made with soft footbed and great indoor outdoor sole and cozy without being too hot.

Felt great on--good fit. The high rise in the front felt a bit odd, but no big deal. I just decided to opt for a more traditional low cut slipper, which is all I really need here in the rarely frigid commonwealth of VA.

I like these slippers! My feet are very sensitive to cold, and these are extra warm. The best part is how they fit: they stay on my narrow heels without slipping around a lot, but they are plenty wide in the front for my toes to wiggle (in other words, the base is foot-shaped, which is more than can be said for a lot of shoes and slippers!). The only adjustment I had to make was to replace the extra thick insoles with some thinner ones to give my sensitive toes more vertical space. They're not the most beautiful footwear, but the comfort and warmth are great. They're like sleeping bags for my feet!

I bought these because we get a lot of snow and ice each winter. They are very cute, very warm and fit well. I would definitely recommend ordering a size down, not up. I'm usually an 8.5 but for these 8 fits perfectly, even with thick socks. They are not as good on slick surfaces/ice as I'd hoped. I get better traction from my Teva slippers and even my Adidas slides, so that's disappointing, but everything else about them is great.

These are great! Warm, comfy and I love that they can be worn inside and outside. Wish they were just slightly taller, but the shorter length makes them pretty cute.

I usually wear a 7.5, and got the 7, it fits well. The 8 would have been too large. I was looking for something that I could wear to dig the car out of snow, i.e., lightweight, warm, easy to put on, and good grip/traction, but these are basically slippers. I wouldn't recommend using these in the snow or rain. Snow gets in there easily so it's only ideal for dry but cold weather. That said, it's a nice slipper so 4 stars. Minus 1 because I wish the description was better in terms of what this shoe can handle.

Comfortable and good traction. It was bigger than what I expected. That was the only thing that I didn't like about it. I ordered my size and it was way too roomy for my feet so I had to wear a really thick socks to make it a little bit better

I bought these for camp shoes, so haven't worn them yet, but am looking forward to it! These are cozy and they do seem to run big. I am a 7.5 and normally size up to an 8 in slippers. For these, I sized down to a 7.
