Women's New Castle Genuine Shearling Cross Band Slides
Product details
Web ID: 11240441Most comfortable slippers!
Most comfortable slippers for my feet. Have corns on both feet plus hammer toes on 1 foot. These provide absolute comfort. The only bad thing is my toes tend to slde thru after several wears. Have ordered an extra pair while on sale.

Wanted to Love These
These New Castle Genuine Shearling Cross Band Slides are kind of a conundrum. Not my typical style, as I've never found the cross band appearance attractive. But, my sister gifted me a pair of cheap cross band slippers from another brand, and I was so surprised by how comfortable and secure they felt that when I saw the Fireside line had a version, I decided to try them. As a looooooooooooong time Fireside fan, I would choose the Dearfoams Fireside line over ugg, bearpaw, austrailia luxe, and any other shearling & suede brand. Especially because I've consistently had positive experiences. So, it's no surprise that my go-to shoes--for indoors & outdoors--are the Women’s Moc Bootie from Dearfoams' Fireside line. In which, I wear a size 8, and I own multiple pairs (Indoor pair, outdoor pair and, of course, I have back-up pairs that I've squirreled away since they're, now, discontinued.) Accordingly, I ordered these cross band slippers in an 8 as well. But, after putting them on, initially, I felt that, perhaps, a 9 would have been a better choice in these. There is a hard "lip"/raised edge that is not comfortable AT ALL on my heel. I got a stellar price on these because I purchased them Final Sale; so, I am unable to return them; and, in truth, I've never really been one for returning items like shoes, undergarments, etc. So, I simply take it as a lesson learned. Beyond the hard-rolled raised edge, these shoes have a hard sole, in general. The sole, for me, isn't an issue...as it strikes me more as a great quality, durable aspect of the slippers. When Dearfoams advertises these as indoor/outdoor shoes, it's not an understatement. Overall, I feel the quality of these cross band slippers is top notch. The shearling is full, lush & pretty in appearance. Though, I will say, not thick or soft enough on the footbed to detract from how firm/hard the sole is. Still, I think the materials are indisputably high-quality. Not to mention that these are warm & hug my foot in the best way--minus the jab in the heel, of course. For me, unfortunately, the appearance of my feet at he front of the open toe--the way my right & left sit in the slippers with only 3 toes visible at all times; like my foot is listing to the side--is the other reason I can't bring myself to like these New Castle slippers as much as I'd hoped I would. I don't know if it's a matter of my foot shape, the way the slippers are made, or a combination of the 2...but it solidifies, for me, that I would not purchase this particular style again. If you prefer an extra firm sole, and have the right foot to complement this style, I say go for them. Because these are definitely good quality shoes. They just aren't for me personally.

Warm Slippers
Nice warm slippers. My only issue is the right slipper seems to be made differently from the left causing my right foot to slide further than the left.

Disappointed
I feel they are cheaply made and/or at a minimum the right show is defect. As long as I wear socks, I can wear them. There is not enough fuzzy material; it does not overlay the hard stitching to the sole. I didn't return them since I got them at such a discounted price, the only reason.

Warmth
They're not as soft as they look but honestly the material feels like it'll last longer, like it's more durable. They're pretty comfy but mainly WARM. I don't even need to wear sweatpants or a long sleeve if I have these on. Pretty quality

I Wanted To Love These….
I so wanted to love these…my biggest issue with these is that the insole is not flush with the rubber sole’s edge; it is lower. When walking your heel hits the hard edge and is uncomfortable.
