These are nicely made warm slippers, but if you want to order them, be aware that they are smaller than other shoes of the same size number. My wife wears size 9 shoes. I originally bought these in size 10, thinking they should fit loosely, but even those were too tight. I had to return them, and get size 11.

These slippers are just what I needed- something to keep my cold feet warm and cozy. My only criticism is that the toe is pointy, so I had to get used to my toes being a little squished.
And definately buy 1 size up. I'm a size 8 and the 9 fits well.

... and at a pretty good price, too. OK, maybe not as luxurious as some others, but the price is excellent and the slippers will keep your toes warm. They also have a nice waterproof sole for those mornings when you have to actually step outside into the cold and wet to retrieve the newspaper.

This is my third pair of shearling slippers. The first two pair were from LL Bean, I think, but the ones they offered last year were different, so I tried these slippers by Tamarac. Initially, I liked them better, but they haven't worn well. The interior shearling is worn down right to the skin, which did not happen with my first sets of slippers. These only lasted two years. In addition, the manmade sole is splitting at the seams on both slippers. The others lasted WAY longer and in fact, I have returned to one of the "old" pairs.

I thought these slippers were a good value at first. Fit was not really a problem. They looked like quality slippers and the price was a fraction of similar looking ones. They kept my feet warm. But, that was many months ago. I can't believe that I am the only person to comment on the major defect of these slippers: the unbelievable stench. The bottom and part of the sides is constructed of some kind of plastic material. After a short time, maybe a month or so, the slipper develops an odor that is unbelievable. It's like rotting vegetation. I put charcoal odor eaters in and the stench chewed those babies up and spit them out. The stink is like no other foot stink I have ever encountered in my long and stinky life. Out of desperation I put them in the washing machine. They didn't fall apart, but the stink still lingers on, after washing and two rinses and going mostly through a drying cycle. Nothing can overpower the stink of these slippers. I'm throwing them away. I pity the garbage men.

The slippers were exactly as described, they are warm and very well made. With quality materials and workmanship, they look like they will last a long time. Shipping was very fast, and communication was excellent.

These slippers are okay for the price. The inside is warm and the outside is an okay quality. BUT the feature I disliked the most was the plastic sole. The sole does have a pattern for gripping but it does NOT work. The soles on these slippers could be quite slick.

I received mine yesterday and returned them today. The uppers are glued to the sole in a haphazard fashion. Once you put them on, you can feel the edges where the uppers are glued and clipped on the inside. I doubt they would last long. Glue is not the way to go. They should be stitched. Shoddy workmanship all the way around. I am sorry I paid for the shipping to get them. and the shipping to send them back. All in all, $16 to find out they were shoddy. Never again!

I really liked these when I got them in early January. Actually, $34.97 is a LOT for me to pay for slippers, but I bought them anyway, thinking they'd last! HAH! It's now one month later, and both heels have holes in them, and NO way, as far as I can see, to mend them.
Next time I'll buy the old 'cheapies' from K-Mart or Walmart & pay $6.00.
I'm REALLY disappointed!

I bought these for my mom as a gift thinking, "hey, they're cheap, isn't all shearling good?" Not so much. The insides of these slippers felt similar to burlap. They were very sturdy! Not so comfy.
They also ran about a size smaller than I ordered. I'm a size 7, and the 8's were a little small for my feet.
