Lakeland Active Men's Wolfa Ultra-Warm Quilted Tent Slippers

Product Information

One of the things I noticed while wearing the slippers was shedding. According to Glerups, the first three or four weeks are the toughest on the wool, and they will shed, which is a normal occurrence due to the natural treatment of the wool fiber.

I see the allure of Crocs now that I've tested them. Many people (like myself) have a very polarizing feeling about Crocs. They are everywhere, especially in the kitchens I worked in years ago—cooks/chefs love them for their incredible all-day comfort (similar to nurses). When I actually put them on, I was blown away by the comfort. If you could have an all-terrain category for slippers, these would be the slippers. These slippers were comfortable right out of the starting gate. They are a let's-get-up-and-go type of slipper. Perfect for those morning walks with the dog, for walking around the house, avoiding the cold tile in the winter, and they're even great right out of the shower or hanging poolside. If you're looking for slippers that look like boots but provide the comfort of slippers, consider this option from Sorel. The heel and the tongue come up your foot just above ankle height and then drop below your ankle, giving you freedom to move your foot around. Aside from being durable and comfortable, they are easy to clean; just toss them in the washer and let them air dry. One thing to note: run them on a couple of spin cycles to remove excess water. Since they are cotton and memory foam, they retain more moisture.There were a couple of minor issues, like a long thread that wasn't cut, the heel collar would flatten if I didn't run my finger along it to make sure my heel wasn't resting on it, and when I washed it, it retained more water than I would have liked. On the upside, though, it dried in a day or so.

Overall, it was like wearing a shoe. Which, to me, was the problem. They felt more like a shoe than an actual slipper and were too bulky for my taste. Looking at it from a slipper aspect, they were warm, comfortable, and fit well. The care instructions say they are machine washable, but I didn't wash them because I felt it could damage the structure of the slipper. If these were less shoe-like and more house slippers, I would have enjoyed them more. The upper material should be of good quality since this will have the most exposure besides the outsole. Materials such as leather and microfiber, like those found in the Minnetonka Men's Pile Lined Hardsole Slipper, are great options since they are durable. But in all seriousness, they are great shoes disguised as slippers. A friend of mine has some, and she swears by them, but she only wears them in the house and around the yard. On the other hand, another friend wears them and adorns them with Jibbitz. I get it. They're comfortable. They don't smell (yes, I have been smelling them), and they're worth it. As I'm writing this, I found out that Crocs sells an actual slipper. Something I wasn't aware of when testing started. We'll have to put them to the test in the next round. It’s important to consider the different types of material used for the upper, lining, and outsole of your slipper. The outsole material should be made of something that will give you traction on various surfaces. I found soft rubber soles like those in the Crocs Classic Lined Clog and Vonmay Men's Slipper to be the best in traction and anti-skid.The ideal slipper design will ultimately come down to personal preference. However, there are two factors to consider to ensure that you select the best design for your needs.
