Why I own this

Ready To Wear
Other

I was in the market for a house shoe/slipper that would be on my feet most of the time, especially in fall/winter. I landed on this after seeing some positive feedback in SDP.

How I sized

Brannock Measurements

I mOSB is typicall TTS, but 12 is the larget size for rhis, so I took a gamble that -.5 would work. I wanted a more sug fit anyway. Fit is plenty roomy.

Break-In
Durability

A month in, they’ve darkened a bit. They were suprisingly stiff and already had rolls when I received them. They seem really durable. I don’t really have a care rotuine for them yet.

Satisfied with the Fit

They are quite comfortable despite having zero insole padding. The outsole is comfy but stiff. Because they are roughout, there is signifigant heel slip. I typically wear socks with them.

Craftsmanship

There are definitely odd/frumpy shoes. They have a “natural” foot shape. They seem constructed well and I’ve had no issues.

Sole & heel

Comfort
Durability

The sole is quite comfortable despite being pretty stiff.

Final thoughts

Good Value
Would Recommend

If you can get over the aesthetics , these are great house/bum-around shoes for a pretty good price.
