After a day of heavy hiking and then setting up camp, take off your clunky boots and slip into The North Face Men's NSE Tent Mule Booties. These down booties hide easily in your backpack, then come out to keep your feet warm as you cook dinner, get the fire going, and relax under the stars. Traction lugs prevent you from slipping on morning ice, and water-resistant ripstop uppers keep any snow, rain, or dew out.
I was surprised at how warm these things are. My feet sweat in them everytime I put them on regardless of how cold it is outside. They are great! The only complaint is the lack of sole on them. It could be just a tad bit thicker, for more wear. A great houseshoe in the winter time if you have wood floors. I wear them around camp too
If you want to keep snow out, something with a back would be better. Like this:http://www.backcountry.com/store/TNF3321/The-North-Face-Nuptse-Bootie-II-Mens.htmlIt's a bit (a lot) more expensive but way better if you want to walk in snow.No it does not have a drawstring, I agree with Angus Nuptse Bootie II or the NSE Tent Bootie is the way to go in the snow.
OKAY. so here is a real review. Unlike the other that complain about the drafty ankles or snow getting in the shoe. This is a slipper. Not a hiking boot. There is a rubber sole with some traction but its not a sole that would last very longer with continous outdoor exposure. I wear this all the time inside and they are very warm. sometimes too warm. They are great for walkign the dog and the ground is frozen but no snow. Any snow it will most likely get under the heal and then your sock is wet. Overall a great buy.

Comfortable and warm, but a little drafty in the ankle. If you are in sub 40 degree weather you may want to go with something taller than these low-rise.
Doesn't anyone make a LIGHT down booty for around camp?I thought these would be light because of the design, but they weigh as much as my hiking shoes!
This is the answer I received directly from TNF customer care. I followed them and my husband's stinky slippers are now fresh and clean...
Down items require annual maintenance. Proper washing will ensure your down item performs up to expectation. If down dries too quickly, or does not dry thoroughly, or if there is any soap residue left in the down, it can clump and be flat. These effects are not permanent, however, and can be remedied by another washing. We recommend the following washing techniques:
- Before washing, pre-treat stains and heavy dirt with Spray n Wash or Shout. - Close all zippers and Velcro closures before washing. - Wash your item by itself, on a gentle cycle, using a mild powder detergent (be sure that it does not contain bleach additives). - Put the item through the rinse cycle twice, or wash it a second time without soap. This will remove any soap residue that can interfere with the downs performance. - Dry the item by itself for 25-30 minutes on medium heat (no longer), then reduce the heat on your dryer to low. Dry until the item is completely dry and all of the down has been restored to its former loft (this may take several cycles on low). - Laundromat dryers can be notoriously hot. If you are washing your item in a public laundry, dry it on the lowest possible setting and check it frequently to be sure that it does not overheat. - Never dry-clean your down item. To have your item professionally cleaned, take it to a service that specializes in cleaning down products.
By following these instructions you should have no further problems with your down insulated item.
I love them! They go up over the ankle and are 700 weight down! Truly tremendous, I can even wear them outside because the bottoms are padded! My only complaint is actually in their warmth.
Generally in the winter, I'm cold because my hands or feet are cold. These keep my feet HOT! Like, sweaty gross hot. So I love them but will soon be unable to wear them due to sweat factor.. And that stinks! (pun intended) if you do purchase these, wear socks! There is no vaporwick or anything inside to draw the wet nasties out.
Picked these up just for kicking it around inddors, and they're awesome. Good grip and insulation, and the fit is right on unlike most other TNF stuff (I wear a size 10.5 and the L is fine).
I guess they'd be fine for camping, but they'd be drafty and might let snow/debris in due to the low cut.
