Warm, comfortable, but watch size . . ., December 5, 2009
This review is from: Old Friend Men's Slipper (Apparel)
I needed to replace my old worn out slippers, so I began a search to find something warm and durable. After reviewing several brands, I decided on these "Old Friend" bootees. First and foremost heed the other reviews that mention size. They DO RUN SMALL. My shoe size is 8.5. Normally I would have ordered a 9, but I heeded the other reviews and ordered a 10. I figured even if they were a bit big, it would be fine as they were slippers and not everyday outdoor shoes. Well, the 10 fits perfectly. As for warmth, they definitely are very warm - and it gets cold up here in Upstate New York. The soles are thick and have great traction for that snowy trip to the mail box. And the insoles are GREAT. They are a nice combination of memory foam and neoprene which makes them verrrry comfortable. They are also covered with 100% sheepskin, and they are washable and replaceable. For a slipper they provide good arch support as well. The price is right for a product that is well made, i.e. soles stitched to uppers not glued. And the sheepskin "collar" is large enough to cover the ankle well which is a nice plus. Overall, an excellent product - I'm sold! Just be aware of the sizing issue.

DON'T BUY SIZING SCAM, December 5, 2009
This review is from: Old Friend Men's Slipper (Apparel)
After searching the internet for a pair of WIDE hard sole sheep skin slippers to replace my worn out 3yr old medium width Acorns,I was jublient to find a foot product produced in China that came in a width other then med. When the slippers arrived sooner then I expected I was extatic. The excitment ended when I tryed puting the slippers on and the first thing that came to my mind ,I'm going to need a shoe horn. I examined the box and it had a sticker on it that said wide, but also imprinted on the box was M 10. Examining the bottom of the sole of the slippers I found it stamped with a 10M. placing the slippers on a table alongside my 10M ACORNS, I found the 10 2E Old Friend slippers to be narrower in the full length of the sole except in the arch area. Old Friend advertises extra roomy toe area,"another BOGUS claim", the medium width ACORNs were a full 3/8" wider in the toe area. So what we have at the Old Friends organization is a SCAM. They claim their shoes come in different withs , when in realty the only thing that is differnt is the sticker that they place on the outside of the box, They only make one shoe width. I would expect more from a Austrailian company.

Not worth it!, March 3, 2010
This review is from: Old Friend Men's Slipper (Apparel)
I bought these to replace some Minnetonka's I had for 12 years. These Old Friend's slippers run very small, at least a full size smaller and don't last near as long. If you do order them, you will want to go up a whole size larger. I have only had these for 1 year and they are in worse condition than my Minnetonka's were when I replaced them. The soles cracked and then split open. I will not buy this brand again.
