Nootkas Felted Merino Wool 'Astoria' Mule House Slipper for Men and Women

Summary: superb construction, comfortable fit, natural materials that breathe. Did I mention QUIET? I had been looking for quiet soft sole slide-on slippers (forever, it seems). And Nootkas slippers are very quiet on hardwood floors. Everyone in the house appreciates that. But beyond the absence of noise is the absence of discomfort. Hands-down, one of the more comfortable pair of slippers I've ever worn. Merino wool is fantastic in cold and warm weather, and suede soles are the ultimate in natural comfort - not the most support in soles that you *can* get in a pair slippers, but exactly what I was looking for. Like moccasins. As to the fit: as expected. The roomy toe room is just what I wanted. Relatively loose fitting, compared to some wool slippers from across the pond, but agreeably so (some of those slippers are tight, and this pair feels just right). You can wear light socks comfortably. Heavy socks may be a bit of a "stretch" but would generally work fine. Bare feet work best. Might seem odd that these are great slippers for summertime, but wool breathes so well. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that that the heel cup is perfect for my feet. One issue I sometimes have with similar slippers is that the heel cup is too firm or uncomfortable. The heel cup on Nootkas provides subtle support but does not get in the way - it just does what it supposed to. Big plus. I am going to purchase a second pair, and I hope the company stays around, as this is the absolutely best pair of slippers I have ever purchased. Someone put a lot of research into what makes great slippers. Believe me, this combination of slipper characteristics is very difficult to find. I finally found it, after searching for years. Thanks, Nootkas.

I looked at a lot of house slippers, and took a chance on these. I could not be more pleased ! They are very nice! They are light weight, soft not itchy, real wool, a not slippery leather bottom, and molded to my feet quickly. I ordered my regular shoe size, and at first I wondered if they were a little bit short, but after wearing them gently for 20 minutes they felt perfect. A bigger size would have been too big. They are light as a feather. They keep my feet warm in a cold floor place. No slipping! They are a lovely natural creamy white wool color. They come with a bag, which I used while traveling because I did not want to be without! I am very happy with these and would order again when that time arrives!

If you're looking for a soft, comfortable slipper, this product excels in initial comfort. The quality of the upper material is great, and they offer a fantastic, accommodating stretch. They feel wonderful to wear around the house for short periods. However, there are significant drawbacks regarding durability and support. The core issue is the complete lack of a hard or structured sole, which means they offer little to no support. After just a short time, it's clear they are going to quickly lose their shape and the footbed will flatten out fast, especially with frequent use on hard floors. No hard bottom/outsole, poor arch support, will likely lose shape quickly, not suitable for long periods of standing/walking.

I've gone from being a slipper antagonist, to a slipper advocate. We recently became a shoes-off-at-the-door household, to keep our floors cleaner longer. I'd resigned myself to spending three figures for house slippers that were stylish & high-quality; or settling for something clunky & juvenile, but more affordable. Then I spotted these slippers from Nootkas. They are cute with clean lines, warm & cozy without being suffocating. They are lightly supportive but nowhere are they stiff. The wool felt is tight, and thick, but soft on bare feet (if you roll that way). Suede bottoms give smooth but solid traction. Effortless to slip on and off, hands-free. And, and, and: they look great with just about everything! For me, they offered all the benefits of top-reviewed $100+ slippers from East Coast Newspaper That Shall Not Be Named, at ~2/3rds the price point.

I tried a different brand of slippers first and they were too high on my foot. This slipper is exactly as shown and I love that they don’t have any rubber on them. My favorite evening and sometimes daytime footwear. They are also great looking.

These are beautiful, very well- made slippers. My husband drags his feet and the noise is normally very annoying, but was so silent walking in these slippers. Unfortunately, his feet are wide and even the largest size available was too tight. We had to return them, which is why I gave only 3 stars.

I have to get used to the heel not tight. Fit best with with socks, but not so much with bare feet. I don’t think I could get a smaller size. It’s just something I have to get used to. They are warm and very nice looking. I’m just not used to the heel not tight. When I walk they flop. That’s the best I can describe it. I do like the all natural materials, boiled wool and suede, no rubber.

Love these! At first they were a little tight but upon wearing them they loosened up enough to be comfortable. They are warm but the wool allows your feet to breathe. Unless it’s exceptionally cold I never wear socks and my feet are constantly cold. I will order another pair once I’ve worn these out! Also, if you are wanting to compare to Clark’s, hands down these beat them. Clarks tend to have dye issues in washing and the smell of them are horrible. I cold wash with woolite and air dry all my wool items these hold up fantastic and extremely comfortable for those with neuroma issues with their feet! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Slippers are great - communication with the seller was very helpful and prompt. This seller cares about their customers.

Hausschuhe müssen nicht unbedingt dicke Füße machen. Dieser Pantoffel passt exakt und gibt dem Fuß Halt. Sieht klasse aus: gemütlich und bequem ohne schlampig zu wirken. Man soll wirklich exakt die Schuhgröße bestellen, die man sonst auch trägt. Bestens zu empfehlen!

Amazing feel of homeliness and wearing well over time. Enjoy them every day!

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.

Well made. Cosy and warm. Feet don't sweat in them
