So good I bought a pair as a gift too!, November 25, 2009
This review is from: Minnetonka Women's Cally Faux Fur Slipper (Apparel)
I absolutely love these slippers. They are really high quality and nicely stitched. The inside is so warm and fuzzy, and they're really comfortable. There was no "breaking in" period. Just slip on and go (relax!). They have a sole on the bottom, so I guess you could wear them outside if you wanted to, although I choose not to. It's not an aggressive sole, basically just there to have a waterproof barrier between the shoe and the ground. The picture on Amazon shows the thickness of the sole nicely.
I bought my pair on DSW, but they're out of this style now, so I checked Amazon and they're cheaper here! Great price on these--they are definitely worth it! I visited my parents and I took my slippers with me, and my mom tried them on and fell in love with them. So, I'm buying a pair for her. I think that these are the cutest style of Minnetonka's slippers. The "Trapper" style kind of looks like "Grandpa slippers" to me! :)
In running shoes, I wear a 9.5 width B. In these slippers I wear a 9. My mom usually wears a 9 or so in dress shoes, and she said the 9 in the slippers also fit her. I hope this helps with your sizing questions!
I hope that these last for a long time. My mom told me that she had a pair of Minnetonka mocs (not slippers, but the actual shoes for outside), and they lasted over 15 years. I have a pair of the mocs, too, and I've had them a year, and I wear them probably 4-5 days a week. Very well made and very comfortable.

Didn't hold up for the year, March 18, 2010
This review is from: Minnetonka Women's Cally Faux Fur Slipper (Apparel)
UPDATED:
So after a year of wear, they definitely didn't hold up. After about 6 months of use they had lost their shape and all the fuzz inside by the ball of the foot had warn away. I don't think these are machine washable due to the leather outside and they really needed a washing. Overall I was disappointed. I have since bought the pretty Crackleberry colored ACORN Women's Chinchilla Collar slipper:

and they are fantastic! They are about $40 but worth every penny. They even have a nice substantial rubber bottom that allows you to walk outside to the mailbox or to throw out trash at night, and they are machine washable and dryable. I JUST washed them last night and they help up perfectly. I highly recommended the Acorn slippers over the Minnetonka, which left me high and dry.
OLD REVIEW:
These are really cute and very comfortable. The fur inside is non-sweat inducing yet so soft on the foot you'll never want to take them off. These come in whole sizes only, and only in medium width, and I have a half size foot with a wide width, but they stretched, and within a couple of weeks they fit perfectly. I normally wear an 8.5 wide, and I bought the 8 medium. Perfect fit after two weeks of wearing them around the house. There's an extra benefit to having the tie on the front of the shoe. If you find the shoe is a bit tight around the toes, you can loosen the bow until the fit is perfect. The bottom of the slippers is good for quickly running outside to the mailbox. Overall another great purchase from Amazon!
