I am not happy with these but they are not a bad shoe. Yes, they are a shoe more than a slipper. House shoe maybe, but you could certainly wear them outside, only the upper is not very durable or weather resistant for outdoor use.

I normally wear a 7 or 7 1/2. Since I intended to wear these with thick wool socks, and everyone says to order up, I ordered an 8. They are hard to get on but then when they are on, my foot is loose and as I walk around, they slip around my heel. If I went walking in them I'm sure I'd get a blister.

So even if they loosen up so they go on more easily, once on they'll still be too big.

The wool upper picks up lint and dog hair. I really like both the outsole and the insole, which is very cushy and removable. The insole is not fleece but the rest of the inside of the shoe is.
