I like slippers I can wear inside and outside, these fit the bill perfectly. They’re sturdy, comfortable, and look nice. They slip on and off easily. I’m tempted to buy in another color!
This is the 3rd pair of these I've bought for my wife. She uses them as a slipper in the house or as a casual shoe outside. Her feet really need a decent shoe that has good support and a wide toe box. These fit the bill, and are comfortable to boot.
This is the second pair of these shoes I've bought because they are super comfortable. They do have a removable insole, so I put in an arch-support insole. I love that there is nothing binding around my ankle or foot. They are comfortable from the first wearing with no blisters or other issues. And I love the fuzzy cuteness of this pair for sure. They have good traction on the bottom as well.
I love these shoes for their comfort and warmth. I wear them all day on errands and they are perfect for the Michigan winters. True to size.
If you have a wide foot, buy the MEN's version.We have several in the house. They are comfortable, easy to use, warm, pretty rugged, good for inside and outside, and they keep their shape. Only complaint, the women's run narrow.
I’ve been buying Keen shoes and sandals for years. This is my 2nd pair of Howsers. Obviously, I’m a fan! These aren’t traditional slippers. They are comfortable enough that I wear them inside. But, I also wear them outside except during bad weather. These are my 3-season go-to shoes. I wear my usual size in Howsers. I can wear thin socks with these, but would have to go up a half size to wear thick wool socks. In many other brands, the toe box is uncomfortably tight. That’s not the case with Keens - every pair I’ve bought has had a roomy toe box. Wholeheartedly recommend.
These house shoes are the bomb! They are so comfortable I frequently forget I have to change shoes before I leave the house! I have narrow feet with high arches and they fit perfectly! On the other hand my husband also has a pair and he has wide feet and loves them! Highly recommend!
Love these shoes. It fit perfectly and is very comfortable
