Men's Suede Leather Slippers

I read the reviews before I purchased these shoes for my husband. But the real test came when he started to wear them. He said "just tell them, I wear them everyday!!!" Yes, they do sorta lose the seude inside after a few wears but they're so comfortable, I bought 2 more pairs so as not to wear out any one pair too soon. He wears them on quick runs to the store and anywhere else he can dress casual and comfortable.

Slippers International Men's Perry Eurelle Twin-Gore

Unlike most of the reviewers of this product, I am not a wife who got these slippers for her husband who immediately said they were comfy and warm. I got them for myself and I am their primary user.

The slippers are very, very comfortable. The faux fur inside is incredibly soft. Their shoe-like shape makes it so my heels don't freeze and keeps the slippers from falling off, but they don't slip on immediately. It takes a little bit of toe wiggling to get my feet all the way in without the use of my hands, which, straight out of bed in the morning, is how I prefer to put them on.

The soles are rubber, which means that they are both durable (enough so to walk on cement) and, as far as I can tell, waterproof. I wouldn't walk in puddles or in snow, but stepping on a wet driveway won't hurt them. They work perfectly for walking outside to get the mail or the paper.

They do fit a little loose, despite what an all-caps-using reviewer said. I'm a size 13 and I think that I would have been better off buying size 12s for snugness. They still fit, and I certainly won't return them, but they are a little loose. I can easily fit a few fingers behind my heel in them, and they flop a bit when walking.

My biggest problem with the slippers is that they might be too warm. They really don't breathe at all, and without paying for any sort of breathable-but-warm material technology, I suppose I shouldn't complain. But with extended wear, especially if I'm not in a freezing environment, my feet get really sweaty, at which point I'd just as soon not wear the slippers.

Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase and will gladly keep the slippers until they wear through, which I don't expect to be any time soon.

Dearfoams Men's DB045 Closed Back Slipper

This may be the perfect slipper, although I just got them one day ago. They fit tightly, without slipping or turning at the ankle. What's more they don't cause my feet to sweat, and it's July here in Atlanta. The soles don't seem to mark up the tile floors, or skid. And most importantly they are light on the feet, like slippers should be. I ordered and returned Evans ¥ukon slippers because they are clunky and feel like shoes not slippers and at more than twice the price of these. I paid $14.89 for the Dearfoams, $41.90 for the Evans. How can you beat this? Perfect! Highly recommended.

I'll report back in later, in a few months, on the durability.

Birkenstock Eaton Clog

So everyone knows Brikenstock shoes are good for your feet, especially sore tired at the end of the day achy feet. But when you have foot problems like I do - you really need to have several pairs around. For the rest of you - these shoes are great to put on after you kick your work shoes off. So much better than going bare foot!!

I like these becuase they look dressy and sharp and not so hippy-ish like most of their sandals do.

Even thought they are closed around the toes - they are still airy.

I love Birks. I bought a pair for me and my daughter. A word of advice though. Try them on in a store first. Some Birk shoe lines - like these from their original line - have a high toe bar - the ridge under your toes on the inside sole. They may be too uncomfortable at first for some. After experience using these - you learn they help your toes grip the shoe as you walk.

I only gave a 4 becuase I keep wishing Birkenstock would offer more shoes with their cushion over the cork foot bed. Those are so wonderful. But honestly I have no problem with the hardnes of these becuase it cups your foot and feels good.

I think they look smart enough to wear a lot of places. Since I do not wear heels - these were a good shoe at a great price !!!

Robeez Infant/Toddler Bootie

I bought a pair of these (in navy blue) for my baby son several months ago. We live in Minnesota, and I thought they would be nice and warm (and cute) for the winter months. Soon, I realized that not only are they warm and cute, but also the best thing since sliced bread. Or, in the world of babies, the best thing since the invention of disposable diapers. If your baby's socks fall off and leave you searching for its mate, or trying to figure out clever ways to keep them on (tucking them in pants, etc), then this bootie is definitely something you'd love too. Never *ever* has a bootie fallen off, even with crawling, jumping, climbing, etc. So, his feet are toastie warm all the time. Since he is outgrowing the navy booties, I just bought the next size up in brown.

Hooray for these Robeez booties! I wish they'd had these for my first two kids!

Teva took form and function into consideration to deliver this easy, ultra-wearable sandal. The Hurricane 3 features pliable webbing straps with two points of adjustability, a grippy, comfort-molded footbed, along with the casual Teva style you've loved forever.

This was a new brand for me. I had been looking for this style and color...so, I was very pleased to find it. I tried it on as soon as I got it and kept wearing them. Sooo comfortable!

Teva Women's Estia Moccasin

Easy does it! Teva's Estia moccasin has the soft fabric upper, padded collar and insole, dual elastic gores, and cushiony outsole to bring you complete comfort and a great feeling. What's with the extra positive vibes? Since it's made from recycled materials, it'll not only do good for your foot, but for the environment, too.

These shoes are super comfy and a great look too! For under $20 what more can you ask?? Great service.

Rocket Dog Women's Kitten Sneaker

Rocket Dog Women's Kitten Sneaker

These are the cutest sneakers ever and quite comfortable as well. I ordered them in the pink. They are the perfect summer shoe. They look sweet with casual skirts and cargo crop pants. And what a terrific price. Don't pass them up. You'll be pleased to have them.

Rocket Dog Women's Gum Drop Wedge

Rocket Dog

I found these shoes looking for some new cute sneakers. I normally always wear dressier heels, but I wanted to buy some casual shoes. And I was delighted to find wedge heels that were on the casual side.

I tend to prefer wedge heels because they're more comfortable and you can walk faster in them than in regular heels of the same height. That, and flat shoes tend to hurt my feet now. :( These shoes are probably the most comfortable pair of shoes that I've ever worn! They actually don't even feel like heels at all, they're a breeze to walk in, and best of all, they're totally adorable.

So far I've gotten the black plaid pattern, which is bold and clear. The sillhouette is very aesthetically appealing. I like how the heel narrows in the back, so it doesn't feel clunky at all. My absolute only gripe with these shoes is that they're a tiny bit boxy at the toe in an awkward way that makes them look almost clog-like when you're wearing pants. On the other hand if you're wearing them with a skirt they're very mary jane-ish.

Anyway, these shoes are great. I would definitely recommend them. Also, if you do decide to buy a pair of these, they run a little big (I'd say a half size).

Unlisted Men's Coast to Coast Dress Oxford

I ordered two pairs of the 'unlisted' Kenneth Cole brand of shoes. This lace up and a sliip-on. The style was great. The shoes were comfortable straight out the box. I didn't have to break them in. I bought them slightly larger, just in case they ran small, but the size was spot on. I haven't noticed that my feet sweat any more than normal, contrary to what the other reviews say. I'm very pleased with this purchase. I now have an extra pair to use when these finally wear out. I'm planning on buying more.

Nice shoe which gives professional appearance. It makes good for everyday use. However with glued sole, one cannot expect that these shoes would last more than a two years with daily wear. Buyers who consider place of origin in their purchasing should know that the shoes are manufactured in China.

Sperry Top-Sider Toddler/Little Kid Colton Penny Loafer

Sperry Top-Sider Toddler/Little Kid Colton Penny LoaferI was so sad when my son outgrew these shoes. They look great with a suit, or khakis, and they stood up to the "boy-wear" test. My son wore them at least three times a week for months, and they looked so good when he was done that I was able to consign them. I hope to buy him another pair.

Naughty Monkey Women's Walk The Talk Heel

I LOVE THIS SHOE! This shoe has attitude and presence. It's fun and flirty. Every time I wear them I get compliments. But even if I didn't I'd still love the unique styling. The colors are great. The pink is cute without being juvenile. Surprisingly I can wear this with so many colors. The padded insole and thick (yet shapely) heel allows me to walk all day at work in comfort. I typically take an 8 1/2 or 9 in heels and I always take an 8 1/2 in Naughty Monkey shoes. Don't hestitate - BUY THIS SHOE! Actually - don't buy it so that I can be the only woman in them. :->

Naughty Monkey Crossize Pump

Naughty Monkey Crossize Pump
These are without a doubt my favorite pair of shoes and Naughty monkey has taken the top of my shoe list. They are comfortable and fit well. I didn't realise that they were furry, and it adds personality. Every time I wear them I am complimented on them. I have saved about half of naughty monkey's stock on my wish list now, I also have the animal house pumps, comfy with personality and cute too. I am a fan.
