I've tried so many different slippers but these are the first shearling ones. None have kept my feet warm until these Tamarac Jupiters. I'm so happy and for only 20 bucks. I wear 8 to 8 1/2 usually and purchased the size 9. My big toes do barely touch the ends but as the shearling flattens, I imagine that won't be the case. The heel was a tad wide as my heel does slip up and down unless I wear socks. By the end of the first day, the toe touching was no longer an issue. There is a little tag that says 100 percent sheep fur from Australia with leather uppers. The shoes are soft and comfy. I bought 2 pairs at this price.
