These slippers feel wonderful - thick sheepskin lining and nice suede outside. The top can stay around the ankle (as in the picture) or worn up to keep the foot warmer. I particularly like the sturdy sole which keeps my foot warm on cool floors and because I can wear them to go outside to get the morning paper or chase the dog. This is a quality product which I will definitely buy again. The only caution is to size up generously. I wear a 7 1/2 in shoes, 8 in boots and running shoes. I got these in an 8 and they are very small - my big toe touches the front of the shoe. Probably should return them and get an 8 1/2, but I don't want to give them up!
