Even though I'm a gal, I prefer the full-foot coverage of men's slippers in general, so I tend towards these. I've been a Minnetonka moccasin fan for many years, and they remain my go-to house-slipper of choice. Durable, comfy, enough sole for short trips outside.

The tan moosehide size 8s fit my feet as perfectly as ever, and the leather is as soft as butter. Very comfortable, right out of the box. I already love 'em and, like my last pair, will wear them until they fall apart -- which is likely to be some years down the road.

My one small complaint or quibble is similar to what one other reviewer noted: Inconsistent pricing, sometimes even from the same vendor. When you walk into a normal shoe store, all shoes of a given brand and make are the same price, regardless of size. Here, a half size difference can equal nearly double the price, and there's no obvious logic to it.

The only advice I can offer is if you're in the market for shoes here on Amazon, and the one you want is at the high end of its price range, keep checking back because -- as it turned out for me -- sometimes the one you want will show up at a much lower price. The exact moccasins I paid $35 for a week ago and received today are now listed at $60 and up. Which is where they were a month ago when I first noticed my old moccs had developed a hole in the upper. A few weeks or months from now, they'll probably be at some completely different price.

(On update, 12/25/14: Originally I rated these mocs at five stars, but I've since deducted two for durability, which in my opinion is unacceptable. Within about 18-20 months of normal use, the plastic sole on both mocs began to crack and separate from the leather upper. As others have noted, it's a major tripping hazard. I tried gluing it back together, but now it's an ugly unsightly mess. Really a shame because I loved the fit and comfort of these mocs, but honestly -- there is almost no wear at all in the upper, but the soles are literally coming off the shoes. I'd like to get another pair, but at full price, this kind of durability would be unacceptable.)
