third times a charm! Date: March 2, 2009
I love these cozy slippers, they are warm and comfortable, but both pairs have worn out in the toes. Maybe I wear them too much? But I still am going to order agian!

Great arch support Date: February 8, 2009
These are the best slippers yet--I've been buying them for years! They are warm, can be thrown into the wash, and --most importantly--offer wonderful arch support. I can stand in these all day and not feel tired. I bought these for my 2 teenagers this Christmas because they kept on taking mine for their own use (we do not wear shoes inside the house).

Very Warm in Cold Country Date: February 1, 2009
I received these slippers for Christmas. Colorado winters can be very cold and snowy, these slippers have kept my feet warm and toasty. I like that the natural color has not been bleached or chemicaly treated, they are still very white. If you have very sensitive skin, the wool maybe irritating. I suggest wearing with socks.

I love the support of the latex soles. We don't wear shoes in our house, and these slippers really help my feet not get achy by the end of the day. I sent a pair to my mom and she says she hasn't taken them off! I also love that I can put them in the washer.

run small Date: January 20, 2009
I was disappointed in the sizing. I wear a 7 so I ordered a 7 and they were too small. Otherwise, nicely made and seem to be very comfortable. Kept them anyway for my eldest daughter to grow into them. She really liked them.

I LOVE THESE Date: January 20, 2009
I have had many slippers over the years (we heat our house with a wood stove). These are the best slippers bar none. They are so warm. And the biggest plus is the foot bed is shaped for arch support. No more tired feet. The slippers cradle your foot in comfy warmth.

Warm & Practical Slippers Date: January 20, 2009
I wear these slippers almost everyday in the winter here in Chicago and they are great - not only for warmth but they are practical - easy to slip on and off and also the bottoms have nice traction. Nice to also be able to step out on the porch to get the mail, etc. Only "con" is they are wearing out in the front area near the big toe. Maybe stitching could be reinforced.

No Surprise to Me Date: December 25, 2008
I bought these for my husband and daughters to put under the tree for me and I was delighted - even though I knew what I was getting. (I've learned hints don't always work!)

Sometimes I have trouble keeping mules on but the trim you see around the opening seems to have a slight elastic to it so they hold on well - even on the stairs.

The best purchase/gift I got today!

Comfy slippers - not too durable though Date: December 1, 2008
I really like these slippers and have ordered more than one pair over the past few years. They are comfortable and warm but do not seem to be as durable as other slippers I have owned - maybe it is just the nature of the boiled wool fabric? I have two pairs that have worn holes through the front of the toes - it makes my children giggle when they can see my toes but is a bit embarrassing in front of the UPS guy/gal. As I mention, I do like them enough to keep ordering but wish they could reinforce the toes somehow.

Tried and True Date: November 30, 2008
I've been wearing these slippers for years (just had to get another pair, I loved the first ones so much) and they are warm, practical, and cozy. There's not a better slipper on the market.

The Perfect Slipper Date: November 30, 2008
Very warm as well as a comfortable slipper, wear them from the time I roll out of bed until it is time to leave the house. The craftmanship is superb!

Good purchase... could be better Date: November 26, 2008
I like them a lot but there are big for me. Need help with sizing ie: 1/2 size, order down...usually shoes say order a size up and I did that. I could have returned them and then they could have been too small? It's a risk you take in catalog shopping.

Not for narrow feet Date: November 23, 2008
I loved these slippers when they arrived - except that they wouldn't stay on my narrow feet. Had to return them sadly.

A longstanding favorite in my house Date: October 20, 2008
This is one of the classic Garnet Hill styles that has kept my family cozy for years. I also bought a few pairs as a housewarming gift for some friends who built a ski cabin. Very durable.

My favorite Garnet Hill product! Date: October 16, 2008
No break-in period needed for these slippers. These will be your favorite 'cozy-up with a bowl of popcorn' slippers for sure. Everyone in my family has a pair!
