KEEN Howser Wool Slipper - Men's

Not bad. Not great.

The Howser Wool Slipper has to be the most comfortable slipper I have found. It's soft and the fit is good. My only issue is that the longevity is not where I would expect it to be.
I have worn the Howsers for nearly four months on an almost daily basis. I have worn them in and outdoor and they held up well for two months then I noticed what appeared to be a salt stain on the upper. I didn't check it out too closely until my foot got soaked a couple days later. The upper had split in one area and was about to split in another area. Needless to say, I made them indoor only shoes at that point.
The Skinny: I rated these four stars because they are comfortable and I may have overused them.
Am I the only one?

Am I the only one not overjoyed with the fact these rip apart in the toe? I've had two pair, and both had the wool rip apart from the rubber sole within the first two weeks of use. I've also had both pair develop inch+ holes on both sides of the toe as the wool fibers compact and then rip apart while walking. I've hardly got any wear on the sole bottom and the top is tattered. Really cuts down on being able to wear them outside, even for a short walk to the mailbox in the snow. Certainly not an eco-concious shoe design. I really wish the longevity was better.
Aside from all that, these are massively comfortable. The insole is deluxe and they are warm. Grip well, look good.
Hard to put on and small

Got these for my husband. They are too small and he doesn't like that he has to bend over and use his finger to put them on every time. They might be nice if he was going to be walking in and outside but I bought these just as indoor slippers. With the name Keen, we wanted to try. Definitely read the other reviews about size and be sure to size up.

I ordered these as well and while I don't mind bending over to put them on they were very tight around the opening. Length wise they were sized true but the opening is made for someone with very low arches. I've got normal feet, i.e. one larger than the other and the small one was the main problem. I've returned them.
The most comfy shoe, er slipper there is

I got these for my husband for Christmas and he LOVES them. He's even worn them out and about and never once worried that he looked like he was out in his slippers. He says they're durable, warm and comfy and he wishes he could wear them all the time.
howser yer feet feel'n!

I love wearing these slippers! They are easily the warmest house shoes I've ever owned. The natural rubber sole allows you to go outside with the dog, run to the store or get the mail.
These do run a bit small, however. I wear a 9.5 Nike and bought these in an 8.5 and they fit fantastically.
Great House Shoe

This slipper is so dang comfortable, the memory foam insoles are what really make these stand out. I suffer from sore arches with most slippers, but in these I could be on my feet all day!
Super Cushy

You need these. Your feet need these.
Amazingly warm and comfortable. Great for around camp at night or just hanging around house. I went a half size small and they fit great.
They run large

I'm a size 10 and ordered a size 10 (43 eur), there was at least a half inch space between my heel and the shoe. BC exchanged them no problem (awesome customer service, gave me free shipping on the return) These run large, order a 1/2 size down and your set! Love em
Really Happy

Sizing: I ordered the size 12---the same size I wear in sneakers. They fit perfectly.
Comfort: Good lord---they are extremely comfortable. The interior is soft as hell. And, they are really quite toasty. The bottoms are much more durable than I thought they would be. I fully intend to make these my new all-around-go-to shoe.
Color: I ordered Slate Black. Admittedly, I am not a color guru, but they look brown to me. In any event, who cares? They are awesome.

Oh, and as always, SAC is fantastic too.
They're like walking on pillows.

I received these slippers for Christmas 2011 in a size 11 1/2 and had to exchange for size 11. They fit too long. Could have gotten away with 10 1/2. I typically where 11 1/2 shoe size. These slippers are very comfortable, not too hot.
love them
