Well, I didn't really trade them, bit I did get hugs and kisses for them anyhow.

They were a gift for SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed).  My wife loves them.  They are well made, fit great, are toasty warm, even when walking the dog in the winter, and have good, reasonably thick non-slip soles whic addd to keeping her feet warm. They are so comfortable that she often wears them from before sun up to well after sun down!

As far as comparisons are concerned, they compared well with the L.L.Bean fleece slippers she bought last year.
