NootkasWomen's Felted Merino Wool 'Astoria' Mule House Slipper

I love my Nootka's. They are perfectly snug and warm for cold winters up in the mountains where I live. I have wide feet and they were a little tight at first, but after a few days they stretched a bit and now they're perfect. Great price, great quality, great slipper.

So happy with this soft-sole, felted wool slipper! I ordered a 1/2 size up and use lambs wool inserts. The felted wool is thick, cozy, and beautifully dyed. They are silent and do not slip on my wooden floors.

I bought these while on vacation because the floors were cold. I can’t believe I how comfortable and warm these slippers are. HIGH QUALITY! The color is rich and all around way worthwhile the cost. Size is true to fit.

Well, I don’t want to say it, I really, really, REALLY don’t, however, these slippers are getting ONE star from me and it’s breaking my heart to pieces! A bit here, a bit there, my heart is just a sloppy, oozy, broken mess right now.Here’s what I love(d) about these lil’ slippers: They arrived packaged quite nicely in a cute little slipper bag … kind of like their own sleeping bag - all snuggled in , warm, cuddly, and cozy. They arrived fairly quickly on October 20th, five days after I ordered them (but let’s face it, we along with thousands of countless others pay for that service). They’re wool and I love wool (I have a lot of wool clothing items). Wool keeps you nice and toasty, all snugly and soft - it’s like a nice cup of hot chocolate wrapped around your body, and living here in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, during those late autumn months into the winter months, and now into the early spring, our floors feel a bit chilly … so, of course, WOOL!Here’s what I do not love: These lil’ wool slippers were purchased on the 15th of October 2020 for a grand total of $96.83. They have never seen the great PNW outdoors, not once, not even a sliver of any outdoor organic, native, or manmade anything (no dirt, rain, snow, grass, concrete, et cetera). They are worn indoors only and frankly, every – single – day! I don’t like to wear socks, but do I love running around the house in my PJs with my wool slippers, in my jeans with my wool slippers, chasing the fur babies up and down the stairs in my wool slippers, cooking num-nums for the tum-tums in my wool slippers, watching movies in my wool slippers, in my home office typing (as I am now) in my wool slippers … you get the point. They’re like my best friend, until they’re not. I discovered a hole, a HOLE, a H-O-L-E on the bottom of the right sole up near my little toe in my warm, cuddly, cozy, snuggly wool slippers. CRUSHED. That’s what I am … 150 days … not even a full six months (as I write this), and my slippers are dead, and my heart is just a sloppy, oozy broken mess, because of it … and now, I have to find a new best friend. Buyer beware, you only get a little, short bang for your hard earned buck shot with these. Crushed.*** UPDATE *** Well, let me amend this product review with a note. I stand by the review of the initial pair of slippers that I purchased. However, the Nootkas Customer Service Department reached out to me. The representative indicated that the slippers should not have worn out so quickly and that they believe where the hole appeared may have been a weak spot in the leather. They have offered to send me a brand new pair of Nootkas at no additional cost. I’m absolutely shocked! I thought this type of service had vanished from the face of our beloved blue and green planet. Thank you, Nootkas, for making something that was wrong, right, and without me even asking. So, I’m going to give my soft, cuddly, cozy, comforting lil’ wool friends another try and I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I can give a wonderful third update in the future.

Seem like great quality! Love that they are wool. I did size up a half size and I can wear them barefoot or with socks easily! Love it

Update: *The right slipper is slightly more narrow. I’m hoping it stretches to the perfect fit as the other reviews say. Not changing to 4 stars yet, because I really love these slippers.* Perfect, perfect, perfect! I bought these slippers for 3 reasons: sweat, noise, longevity. Cheap slippers make me feet sweat which is a weird sensation when your feet are cold. These are warm and toasty but breathe, so no moisture. Slippers with manmade soles are too loud when you’re an upstairs neighbor. These make zero sound when walking! Lastly, at the end of every winter, my cheap slippers are dirty, worn out and stinky so they end up in a landfill sitting there forever. These are natural fibers that will break down in a landfill much sooner. But why would I throw them away? I’m so happy with this purchase. “Buy well, buy once.”

Well made, oomphy, warm and really well made. Their not cheap but you get what you pay for. Very happy with the purchase.

Ran small and also has narrow toe box, looked like good quality but just in the time of trying them on I had a lot of shedding on my foot

Typically I wear a size 8.5 and I have wide feet. I originally sized up, but size 9 was uncomfortably large, and as I wore them, they became more loose and less comfortable. I replaced them with a size 8, and they fit wonderfully. They started snug but comfortable, and after a bit of wear, they fit perfectly. The colours are rich, the slippers are soft and warm and have remained odorless, even though I'm a sweaty beast. They are really comfortable and quality. Thank you.

these are expensive but you get what you pay for. They are excellent quality and are warm and comfortable

The slippers are exactly as described. Beautiful material but size small. I followed manufacturer's recommendation for women's size 9 and ordered the 8.5-9 size...this is not quite long enough in the footbed and the heel rubs the back of the slipper. Unfortunately in order to exchange the item I would have to pay shipping costs to return and again to order...this would make the slipper costs ridiculous. I have a pair of Glerups which are fantastic and similar to the Nootkas....sadly I will have to keep the slippers but not be able to wear them much because they are just abit too small. Also I read the comments regarding the suede sole and I hope it is as good as the Glerups.Update October 18 - was able to return satisfactorily through Amazon.update October 26 - received mother pair size 9.5-10 and they fit perfectly for a size 9 foot.

My Nootka slippers are warm and comfortable in bare feet. I love the toffee color and feel good wearing a fair trade purchase!

Awesome quality, size fits perfect, comfortable and so warm and cozy.
