Years and years ago, I had an amazing pair of Airwalk suede loafers which I wore as slippers/houseshoes until the soles cracked in half and were no longer wearable. In fact, I loved them so much, I still have them put away in my closet!  Everytime I've bought a new pair of seemingly comfy shoes, there was really no comparison.

But... these Slipperooz are pretty darn close in comfort and looks! I absolutely recommend wearing these with socks, and I also recommend buying a size smaller.  I'm a size 8 and while these shoes fit just a 'toe' loose, if I had preferred a snug fit a 7 would have been perfect.  True that the slippers don't exactly slip on (unless you have a bit of extra room in the shoe), but that isn't something that's a deal breaker for me.  Also, canvas lines the bottom of the sole and is interspersed with the Deer Stags "nodules" (reading from the box in front of me) so some folks may feel a difference in their step. Personally, I *love* this feature and look! I'm forever running around the house, outside to the porch, dealing with laundry in the mudroom, taking the recycling outside to the bin, etc... These slippers keep my feet warm and dry without having to track dirt in the house or change my shoes!  Plus, they travel amazingly well and don't take up much room in a carry-on bag.

I originally saw these offered on qvc, and I'm really glad I ordered my lavender (technically "purple") Utopias here at Amazon.  The price is on par with big name slipper/comfort shoe makers, and I'm definitely getting my money's worth.  If you're thinking about buying a pair, definitely try 'em!
