The opening to the slipper is very small. I had to take out the footbed until it loosens up a bit. They are nice and warm and fluffy.I love them! Pretty much wear them all the time, also very warm wearing them outsideWould buy them again! Hands down!These are fine, but the lining isn't as soft as I remember. Granted it's been 8 years since I ordered my last pair because they last a very long time. Maybe the lining softens up as I wear them. Still my go to boot slipper for comfort and warmth.I had to kiss a lot of frogs to finally find these perfect slippers. I have an orthopedic problem with one of my big toes and these slippers have a nice roomy toe box. They are so cozy now that the weather is colder. The fit is very good, I wear a size 7 and I especially like the fact that the insole comes out so if you wear orthotics, you have that option also you can replace the insole if it wears out. I love Ugg’s but the non removable insole renders the slippers unusable after they wear out. Not so with these new friends! I’m very hopeful that they will prove to be “old friends”.I never write reviews but I love these slippers! My feet get really cold working remotely (too much sitting) and these are the best for keeping them warm! You can't run a marathon in them, they are slippers but they are great for puttering around the house and keeping the feet nice and toasty!Like most reviewers, I agree that these run one-half to a full size too small. In defense however, this is common to the entire slipper industry. No matter what brand I find all slippers run small. Old Friend is a fantastic brand, you should buy them. This bootee style is super comfy, soft, and warm - I love them! I was only able to order one-half size up since I am an 11.5 and the largest women's size is a 12. I was nervous to keep them because when you first put them on they are at their fluffiest, and my toes were sort of hitting up against the end so I was worried they would be too small. However I decided to keep them and I'm so glad I did! After just a couple days of wearing them the fur inside compacts down a little and they fit just fine! Five stars!I’ve now purchased five (!) pairs of these Old Friend Slippers within the past three years...not because they wear out, but because they are so cozy and well made that my daughters keep “borrowing” them and then never giving them back! I’ve gotten them in all three colors so now we can tell each other’s slippers apart.The real sheepskin is very thick and soft, the suede is high quality and stain-resistant, and the rubber sole is sturdy and tough. The sole comes up high enough to handle the wet ground and even puddles — perfect for going outside to grab the newspaper or the mail on a cold wet morning. I tend to be hard on my slippers by wearing them while I’m puttering outside; these slippers never wear out. (They’re so cozy, I’ve even caught myself wearing these to Starbucks, forgetting I still had slippers on.) And unlike other slippers I’ve tried, the fleece lining of these slippers stays soft and plush and doesn’t get mashed down over time. Also, these slippers are great year-round. They’re really warm in the winter, but somehow they’re not too hot in the summer. I’ve spilled water, food and other things on the suede, but the it doesn’t seem to stain. And I didn’t pre-treat the suede with stain guard...go figure.Size-wise, they run a little bit on the small size. If you’re normally a half-size, I’d recommend going up a size. (Ex: if you’re usually a size 7.5, get the 8.)These slippers cost a bit more than most slippers but they are worth every penny. They are made with high-quality materials and are very well made. They will last for years — unless you’re like me and someone “borrows” them.This is the 2nd pair I’ve had. The first pair I bought at a store which I ended up exchanging up for larger size. The generous fleece inside takes up room. There is a period of break in before they are really comfortable. I ordered this pair to replace the pair that I had for about 10+ years. I’m a size 8 & find the 9s work best for me, regular width. They arrived in perfect condition & I was happy with the price I paid, much higher at other stores.The slippers have really stretched out since I got them (only months now) and I haven't worn them that much. The lamb is pretty thin and burns my feet when wearing. Not anything like what they were like. Pricey! Should have bought from Costco and forget the brand name!Very disappointed. Workmanship? These slippers used to be top of the line, unfortunately no longer! Most likely will be returning for this very reason, :( Good Bye Old Friend!
