2.0 out of 5 stars 12/14 UPDATE: Turns Out, The Quality Isn't There - Returning, November 30, 2011

I can finally say that I have first hand experience of not knowing what all the hoopla is about with this brand.

My slippers arrived about 3 weeks ago, and thus far, I am pleased with them but not extremely happy. And for that price, I'd prefer to be extremely happy.

The sizing here is a bit odd, as Amazon indicates them as 11 D's (med to wide width), but there's no indication of the 'D' on the box, and they don't feel like they are wider than they should be. But, from a quick internet search, all mens Uggs appear to be considered 'D' width. The slippers started out quite snug, but as the lining has become matted they are a bit roomier.
As for actual size, they fit well on bare feet, and initially were too tight to wear with socks, but as I said above have become roomier with the matting of the lining. I wear a 10.5/11 shoe, ordered the 11, and they fit fine. They are snug enough on my foot, so I guess if you want a roomier fit, go a size up. Otherwise, they seem to be true-to-size.

Quality-wise, they seem pretty good and have strong stitching, but we'll see what their total longevity is. Though as they are made in Vietnam (as are many of the slippers I've owned previously), I'm not sure what type of quality I'll get out of them. Marketing or truth? We shall see.

The major pitfall with these: sole padding. To expand on that, there is none. Aside from the 'real lamb fur' lining, there's just a hard, very thin sole between foot and floor. They definitely provide no support/cushioning whatsoever. A bit disappointed there, to be honest. I can 'forgive' this as they're just house slippers, but I'd prefer some cushioning. Also of note, they have a cloth/nubuck sole, so not very slip-resistant and not a slipper you'll want to wear outside to get the mail, especially on wet ground. Even just walking around a kitchen has stained the soles with whatever contraband might be found in said kitchen.

And back to the matting of the fur lining, a not so fun side effect is that the warmth factor of the slipper drops a bit. I find myself dragging my fingers on the lining to 'fluff' it back in order to recapture the warmth I felt during the first week or so that I wore these. Not a huge deal, but if this lining doesn't hold up for even this season, dare I say that I'll be quite disappointed. The whole reason I bought a slide/scuff and not a full slipper was because my feet tend to get hot/sweaty in a full slipper. But if these fail to even keep my toes warm, that could be another issue I'll have to weigh for future purchases.

I'm keeping these simply based on the quality associated with the brand, as otherwise I'd just buy a $30 pair of slippers, wear them daily, and have to buy a new pair 3 months later because they fell apart (as history has dictated). If these last me a couple winter seasons (8 months, give or take), I'll consider it a break-even. Any longer and it'll be gravy on top. Early prospects aren't that promising, but nothing is glaring enough for me to call these a bust. The question though is would I spend the money on these again? Honestly, probably not. Not worth the high price point thus far. But, as I said, if these last a couple years (including being able to re-up the warm factor with the lining brushing), that view could change drastically if just to merely spare me from spending $30 every couple months on flimsy slippers.

*12/14/11 UPDATE* I'm returning these slippers, as it has turns out that the quality just isn't there. A little over a month of wearing these off-and-on during the week (and not even that often, as we've had some warm weather here as of late), the lining in one of the slippers, on the outer side of my foot/sole, has completely worn away down to the foot bed. Since it only took a month for this to happen, I don't expect these to hold up for much longer before more bare patches appear. And as I said above, the warmth factor is mitigated by the matted lining. I'll be contacting the seller tomorrow to return these for a refund. If anything, I'm glad UGG has a good warranty policy at least (1 year vs. defects). Also glad I held on the box/shipping label.

Good quality, but don't always stay under the back of my foot. Also wear a bit quickly in the back.

My guy always boasted that he never wore slippers...didn't see a reason to in a world of plentiful socks. I convinced him, you'll not only wear these, you will love wearing them. He opened the package Christmas morning and has had them on ever since...except when he's on his way to the office! They're gorgeous and super comfortable.
