This slipper does not have the arch support that was noted. Sizing was on the small side and recommend a 1/2 size larger. Good quality materials, delivered as expected, no problems

These are very handsome and well made. Perfect for wearing indoors in cold weather and can be worn outdoors as well. Wonderful Christmas gift for men.

Purchased for my father in law at the holidays. He adores and believes one of the best pairs of slippers he's had.

I was looking for slippers with arch support because I really need support and that's why I picked these. The description clearly states that these slippers have arch supports, and the sole even makes them look like they do, but they do not... the foot bed is perfectly flat. If you don't care about the arch supports these seem like decent slippers. I sent mine back.

THese were the perfect boots to complete my pirate costume. They are light and comfortable and look great!

I bought these boots for a Renfair outfit since I needed approvable garb to work it. It was a pretty decent buy. Yes the boots were approved ( Renaissance Pleasure Fair - the most demanding of them all to which I have been/ they are extremely strict for appearance and costuming-garb)

Product:

About a Mid Calf or Slightly taller boot.
-Inside is lined with a plastic, so it doesn't absorb moisture, but keeps moisture out as well. A little bit slippery at first

-Outside is a Synthetic Micro Suede, passable for any fair goer.

-The rear side for tying the boot has grommets (metal/aluminum) that go through the boot. There are two sides : : (the lace goes through/under the boot/to the other side) - These have become very poorly made, and after the first day of fair (8 hrs of walking and standing/working) they started to come out. Each Time I lace them up every weekend for fair, another grommet comes out. (this isn't really a big con since it doesn't really compromise the integrity of the boot. But it is a bit lousy for workmanship. But for the price I cant complain.

-The sole is a pretty flat flexible rubber. There is not grip on it so don't expect to go hiking with it. i noticed after the second week of using them, My right foot sole was coming unglued. Not a biggy, i only use them for one reason.

- The Sizing is ok. Im a size 9 1/2 - 10 1/2 on normal boots. The 10-11 size was a bit large at first, but when walking and getting used to the boot, I nearly forgot they were on my feet. Once properly fastened, they stay on. The tip of the shoe is very long. So expect over a inch in extra space into a boxed tip.

-In case you were wondering, there is three parts to the boot compartment. The Left and Right side (where you seed the ties) and a Middle long tongue that goes up the boot. I have not tested the waterproof, but would guess they work pretty well for moving water around instead of in the boot.

-The tying mechanism is quite intricate. The grommets : : and then the main button that you see (is not a snap on button) but has a piece of the fabric rolled into a knot. The lace is tied around this not, and you pull the lace through the two grommets to tie the boot. This is the most difficult part. because there is no natural way to tie the boot. You have to get help to tie it, or sit on the floor with your leg bent to your side to tie it.

I can actually walk at the end of each day. It isn't as bad as some other shoes I had for fair. For the cheap buy, and a quick fix until you get something else, these would be pretty well for the task.

Everything came just as it should. No complaints. I'll use these boots once, maybe twice in a year, so for what they will be used for I'm happy.

It is authentic like and I can really look forward to the next year's renaissance festival to wear them to.
