When I first saw these slippers, I wasn't really wanting slippers that were "boot like", but they looked very furry and  fuzzy from the picture and Isotoner is known for it's quality in all things they make, plus the price was good, and they came in an XL, which was good, b/c I am a size 11 and can have a hard time finding slippers I like to fit me, so I decided to order them. When I received my slippers, I first noticed that they were super soft and fuzzy.  It is hard to explain how soft they were/are.  And when I tried them on, to see if they would really fit-they did. They fit me like a glove. The bottom of the slippers say "size 9&1/2 to 10&1/2. So, that is why  they fit me like a glove. They could be a tad bigger for my taste, but the fur (not real fur) the booties are made of, is very flexible and the sole is that of one like a "ballet slipper"- it is not hard, but flexible. You could wear them on hard wood floors, or outside to get the paper. The soles are flexible, like the furry slipper material. And after wearing these slippers for about a week, I don't mind that they come up over my ankles. It just keeps my feet even warmer. I would recommend these slippers to anyone. I love them.

I also wanted to add, that I just found a tag inside of bootie slippers that said that they could be washed in cold water, and then let set out to air dry. That is great news for me. After wearing these slippers with lotion on my feet all winter long w/out being able to wash them, was kind of bothering me, but it looks like I will get to wash them after all.  I will add to my review after I wash them and let you all know how it worked out. Meanwhile-enjoy your Isotoner Bootie Slipper!  I love mine!
