The UGGS Dakota slippers are really not slippers.  They have rubber soles on them that allow them to be worn outside.  I was skeptical at first about wearing them outside of the house but not anymore.  These are the most comfortable UGGS that I have.  I wear a size 7 but looked at the other reviews and thought I should purchase a size smaller.  I am glad that I stuck with my regular size 7.  These are true to size.  I wear them everywhere including "dress down" Fridays at the office.  I highly recommend these for anyone who likes to be comfortable in their shoes.  They can be worn anywhere!!  My son wishes they came in a men's size 12!
