I purchased these shoes for my boyfriend who walks the dog early in the morning and enjoy it. They are easy to slip on ESPECIALLY when the dog needs to make a very quick exit. He really like them and says that they are very comfortable and warm. He loves them and think about buying it in another color too. He says that when they will get old he will purchased the same pair again and again. The best way to describe this shoe is that this is a cross between a bedroom slipper and a rugged snow. This shoe is an excellent product by Merrell. I have purchased this brand a number of times, but this one has become the most favorite of mine. They are easy to get in. Good shoe!!
