Why did you choose this item?
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 did you determine your size?
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.
What was the ordering process?
No issues with ordering.
Use & wear
I wear these in and around the house. There are are my feet most of the day as I work from home. I wear them on the back patio and out to the garage.
Leather
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.
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
The sole is quite comfortable despite being pretty stiff.
Final thoughts
If you can get over the aesthetics , these are great house/bum-around shoes for a pretty good price.
