I just ordered what will be our 3rd pair of these slip-on shoes. We purchased the first 2 pair at a farm supply store and then found them about 8 dollars cheaper here on Amazon.  I'm sure they are great for farmwork, cleaning stalls, etc., but we bought them because we live in northern Minnesota where it's winter just about 7 months out of the year.  Here in Minnesota EVERYONE takes their shoes off at the door...anyone's door.  It's just a given.  Because of that, it helps to have something that is easy-on/easy-off.  The tread is deep, and that helps prevent slipping on our icy, snowy sidewalks and driveway.  The other important feature is a completely waterproof lower section.  These heavy-duty rubber soles are just that...completely waterproof.  The upper section is suede, and although it is supposed to be waterproof, I treat it with a waterproofing leather conditioner (Obenauf's Heavy Duty Leather Preservative) anyway just to be sure.

My husband normally wears a size 8 1/2, and the size 9 in this shoe fits perfectly.  I wear a size 10 in women's shoes, and the size 9 in this shoe fits me fine with just a bit of extra room.

Now for the part that some people might find odd.  We decided to cut the upper part of our first pair of these shoes down to about 1/2 inch above the rubber.  We only did this along the back of the shoe.  This makes the shoe extremely easy to slip on and off to step outside in the snow to check the mail or take the dog out, and this pair is always ready and waiting at the door.  The other two pair we left intact.

I would have given them 5 stars instead of 4 if they had been as comfortable as my tennis shoes.  They are, however, comfortable enough for what they are intended.
