I only wear all-wool slippers, and these beautiful Nootkas are my new favorites! They are a slimmer, cleaner design (than say my original Haflinger slippers) and do look as cute with cropped jeans as they do on their ads. The upper part is really solid, all one-piece, form fitted with no seams. And the soles are smooth and quiet! I originally ordered these in a 38, as I wear size 8 -- but those were way too big (length and width). Customer Service was terrific and I returned them for a 36. I was afraid that was too small, but after only a few days of wearing them and getting my foot imprint to form inside, they are perfect. I like them without socks. Again my size 8 foot, fits their size 36. I'm sure they'll still stretch out a bit over time, but this size is ideal for the long-haul. Thank you Nootka for making such a very cool slipper/house shoe. The indigo blue is a great color!
