I was looking online for slippers for my husband, after he jokingly borrowed my fuzzy socks one cold morning and was in heaven. When these classic short boots appeared on sale, and in his size, I went out on a limb and ordered them, mostly as a comical Christmas gift. I just wanted to see his expression when his "girl" boots arrived; half expecting we would exchange them for slippers. While he did seem genuinely shocked and chuckled quite a bit, he eagerly tried them on, and immediately wanted me to spray them with stain repellent, so he could wear and keep them. When I woke up the next morning, he was already awake, making morning coffee in his Uggs. Later that day, he braved wearing his boots to the movies (jeans over boots) and while he felt a bit awkward (like wearing pjs in public), he loved it. He said they feel like hugs on his feet. His feet and ankles are covered and warm; unlike traditional slippers. I gave him other more expensive gifts too (man toys) but this was the best gift of all; totally unexpected and fun, and he really loves them! Btw, he wears 10.5-11 normally. Ordered these in 11. He said they were a bit snug initially but fit comfortably. Based on other reviews they are expected to stretch in time; so this is the ideal initial fit.
My husband has had a pair of these for years so it was time for new ones. Nordstrom had them for a great price. The exact same size and color. Can't wait to give them to him.
