My feet were cold at home so I ordered these slippers to wear around the house in the winter. I had Sorel boots in the past and was impressed with their quality and warmth. These slippers are warm and cozy and look great on. They are nicely stitched suede with a 50% wool 50% polyester lining. The rubber sole is thick and durable but I would not advise walking on ice with them as there is no tread on the soles, just a pebble finish which is fine for indoors. They have a cushioned feel to them. You do not feel like you are barefoot like you might in less expensive, less substantial slippers. I put them on the minute I step in the house and don't take them off again until bed time. I wear them with socks in the winter. In the summer I imagine they would be too warm with socks. I am pleased with this purchase.
