Customer Reviews The North Face THERMOBALL™ Traction Mule V

I wear these inside the house and out. I live in MN and venture out in -15 in these.

This product is great for general use in the home and keeping my feet warm. I love the hard bottom and how easy it is to slip on and off!

I bought this for my son for Christmas. He LOVES them - says they are the warmest, best fitting slippers he has ever owned. Plan to buy a pair for my husband.

Comfortable, lightweight, true to size (I'm a 12 in most athletic shoes and this 12 fits perfectly). Faux fur insoles are nice, but tend to retain sweat and start stinking. This is my only gripe. Overall 4/5

Wear them every day inside and outside

Husband loves these.

I want to give these slippers a 5/5 because of the way they check every box in what I was looking for. I live in the PNW, so it's hard to find a durable slipper that you can keep on between lounging inside and going outside to get the mail/take the dog out/etc. But these are perfect for all of the above. Truly waterproof, comfy to walk in or just have as slippers, and stylish enough to wear to the store, they really are the ideal slipper. They do not have much of any type of support being that the sole is well-cushioned and, well , it's a slipper- but expecting these qualities ahead of time it would be unreasonable for me to suggest that the lack of support is a fault of the slipper, rather than appreciate that it is the style of footwear I've chosen. I will say though, I tend to be most comfortable in low-cut shoes that offer minimal ankle support, so for me these are perfect to wear to the store or even a brief walk around the neighborhood with my dog (a meathead German Shepherd who lunges at every squirrel). They may get a little warm and not super well ventilated at times but again, they are slippers, not distance running shoes. There are only two things that I can really say I wish was different. First, I wish the bottoms had better traction. If the surface I'm walking on has traction itself (like pavement) then it's not an issue, but on a wet kitchen floor you best be ready to dance. The second item would be the durability of the Thermoball material. This is tough to knock because it's that material that makes these so stylish and warm, and all things considered they do hold up very well (I mean come on, it's basically sleeping bag material on your feet, and your feet see a lot of action). But I had to replace my first pair because they would snag on twigs and rip, this also eliminating the waterproof factor. It's important to mention though that I'm probably an extreme example of calling the durability into question, because I've been working from home since the beginning of the pandemic and I quite literally always have these on my feet if I'm not doing something that requires otherwise (like shower, treadmill, sleeping). So to me, the fact that they last so well for half a year of daily hard use (all day in the office, taking dog out, errands, you name it) and are functional in all aspects is pretty impressive. Enough so that I plan on buying a third pair, and when I bought this second pair I also bought a pair for my wife- which is also important to mention because she babies hers (she likes them too much, wears them selectively) and in the same amount of time hers basically look brand new. Great product overall, definitely recommend!!

Mostly inside the house but due to the shoe-like sole I will run out to the mailbox, car or empty recycling in them if it isn't wet out.

comfortable and great looking

I love that I can literally sit in the recliner, and binge watch a Netflix show... Or get up, go outside in 5 degree and literally snowblow the driveway in these things. Inside, the thermoball breathes enough to mitigate overheating, and outside, well...yoi don't even know you're outside. They're warmer than my $120 Kamik boots rated to -80. Not joking, I've literally ran my snowblower wearing these. Zero slips on solid ice. They're incredible!!

I wear these all day when I'm home since they keep my feet warm on the hard wood floors. I do online school and these for perfectly for that too. Whenever I have to quickly run outside, these are perfect due to the tough rubber sole. Great warmth and versatility!

I purchased these for my hubby in the camo color. He absolutely LOVES them! He wears them in the house plus when he goes out to get the mail etc. The bottoms have a nice sole - and not slippery!

I love them. I use around the house and if I run somewhere quick. I'd highly recommend them to anyone.

Great shoes there very comfortable and keep for keep warm

Leisure

I've tried lots of camp slippers & these are by far the best. Round up in size if you have voluminous feet like me.

Get some!! You won't regret it. They're very warm, and comfortable and very versatile.

My husband wears these shoes everyday, several times a day to go outside for chores. They have held up so far. He was concerned the heel would fold down, but not so far.

LIterally the best slippers ever. I always take them camping and they are my fave apres ski shoes ;)

Great slipper for around the house both inside and outside. Good traction on slippery surfaces. Last a long time with normal daily use. Can be used in both cold and warm weather.

I'm mainly working at home nowadays and needed some cozy slippers. These are amazing! They're super comfortable--and, they're still holding up, even after months of use!

I when it's too cold for slippers, I slip these on to keep my feet toasty.

Use these for house shoes. They are very comfortable and warm!

I wear them to my local mountain that I instruct at and they kept me drive several days out of the week.

They're getting stinky, but I'll put a sheepskin footbed in soon
