I've had a hell of a time finding slippers because it seems that they only sell them in stores at Christmas time.
Unable to buy them in person I decided to take the risk of buying them comfort unfelt and fit unknown.
I'm very glad I did as these slippers are great, and fit perfectly (I went a half size up just to be sure too big being preferable to not big enough). Very comfortable and warm, and unlike most new slippers they didn't make my feet all sweaty at first until they were broken in. They have a nice thick sole with good traction making them great all-terrain slippers for getting the mail or chasing the cat.
Very happy with them.

After almost 3 years I just recieved my second pair of these slippers for Christmas. I hated to get rid of the first pair as they've held up just great. The ONLY reason I asked for a new pair is that after 3 years the padding inside the slipper had worn away the stitching, suede and sole remain in great shape after 3 years of hard use. (I wear them outdoors often).

I also have a heck of a time finding shoes for myself.
I wear a size 15 and stores typically don't stock sizes that big.
So, buying shoes online you run the risk of not being able to try
them on before buying them. So, you have to read the reviews
and trust what people write. I read the reviews and from what I
see, this slipper runs small. That being said, I ordered a size
16 thinking it would fit perfect. The slippers arrived today
and they are too big. The size (at least the big sizes) run
correct. So I am returning these size 16's and ordering my
correct size, 15. Hope this helps somebody out.
Other than than, these look like quality, warm slippers. I
am sure I will enjoy them when my size finally arrives !

I purchased a pair of these a few years ago for my husband and they finally wore out. He didn't want any other slipper, only these. These have been the most comfortable and lasted longer than any other kind we have tried.
Honest reviews on L.B. Evans Men's Klondike
As others have said, these slippers tend to be sized small, but they do stretch after a short time. I'd recommend getting them 1/2 to a full size larger than normal. I bought 1/2 size bigger, but when new, they were very tight (so tight, I nearly returned them). Once broken in, they are quite comfortable and seem to be of good quality. I rated them only 4 stars due to the guesswork involved in picking an appropriate size.

Comfy slippers but not the bee's knees. They do run small; my size 9.5 foot is still searching for some more room in the size 10 slippers I bought. I'm sure it will stretch in time with wear. Oddly, these are made in that place that starts with the letter "C" and ends with an "A" (not California). Had I known, I would have spent a few more $$$ to buy from a US source. One annoying aspect is an extremely poorly placed tag on the inside of the shoe, at the instep (where the elastic band is on the side) that rubs. Again, I imagine the discomfort will lessen over time with wear. I view these as slippers, and would not wear these outside. Perhaps to fetch the newspaper or the mail in my robe, but not when I leave the house. Unless I want the absent-minded look... I am keeping them, but there have to be better and more comfortable choices than these.
