crocs Unisex Blitzen Clog
"
February 23, 2009:
It took a while for me to finally find the size I needed, but when I finally did near the end of November, I was very happy that the extra effort paid off and larger size was just right. Although I still love my Mammoths, the Blitzens have the great winter/wet weather advantage of having a solid upper (except for a few decorative "Crocs" holes near the opening). This makes them much more practical for mild to moderate winter weather use.
The polar fleece is absolutely worth the extra few dollars for the comfort and "snuggliness", but I'm a little skeptical about the durability. Only time will tell.
My personal Crocs sizing solutions:
Crocs sizes tend to be somewhat off from other shoes - some run big, some run small. This is what I find generally works for me if you are not able to try them on before buying.
1. Determine your normal shoe size for a running/walking shoe or similar (not heels or hiking boots since most will vary more).
2. If you are buying a traditional Crocs clog-type shoe, usually you will wear the same size Crocs. If your size is a half-size like mine, you will have to make a choice since Crocs don't run in half sizes (that I am aware of). I usually go down to the next even size. They have always fit well, and the material does have some "give" so I've never had a problem with pinching or blisters, and they will stretch out a little over time.
3. If you are choosing a sandal style Crocs, I always go to the next even size up, since they seem to run a little tighter, but I also have wide feet.
4. For the Mammoth - you will probably need to buy one full size larger than your normal shoe or Crocs clog because the company does not re-number the shoe sizes, they just add the liner and that takes up space.
5. For the Blitzen - you will probably need to buy two full sizes larger than your normal shoe or Crocs clog. Part of the reason is, I believe the same at with the Mammoths - the liner takes up room. The other reason is that the shoe itself, compared sole to sole to the same sized Mammoth is at least on half size smaller. If I ever find out why I will be sure to let you all know.
To summarize my sizing suggestions:
Crocs clogs - your normal casual shoe size or closest whole size smaller.
Crocs sandals - your normal casual shoe size or one size larger for wide feet.
Crocs Mammoths - one size larger than your normal casual shoe size.
Crocs Blitzens - two sizes larger than your normal casual shoe size.
I hope that is helpful. Since everyone's feet and everyone's comfort preferences are different, I make no guarantees, but I own about a dozen different pairs of Crocs and these suggestions are what have worked for me.

Although the polar fleece is a wonderful step-up from the regular fleece lining of the Mammoth clogs, I was surprised to discover that the Blitzens were a good half-size smaller than both pairs of my Mammoths - making them just a little too small to be comfortable. I am going to try the next size up when they are back in stock - but I suspect those will be too big. To be continued...February 23, 2009:

Ordered these for my grand-daughter. She is 12-mos/18-lbs and the shoes run a little large but she is walking well in them. I would say they match her size-4 hard soled shoes.She's been pulling off her socks (of course!) but wearing these shoes has stopped that. I think she feels more "grown-up" in them since she sees everyone else wearing shoes. Back to the shoes tho....yes, they run a tad big and wide but with warm socks they are perfect for new walkers. The sole is the same as the upper and you may want to rough-up the sole if you don't have carpets. Overall, a great shoe for the price and purpose.

Sanuk Men's Vagabond Sandal Shoe

They have a soft flip flop type sole with a harder rubber sole for traction, which is comfortable but slippery sometimes in wet conditions.
The canvas top holds my feet well. It has frayed quite fast though, a little moreso than I would have liked.
I bike to school in them, they look great with khakis or jeans, feel great with bare feet or socks, dry quickly and don't get stinky. I am happy with the purchase.

I bought these in tan as a first pair of shoes for my 9-month-old daughter and am pretty pleased with them. I bought them in a size too large (there's about 1/2" extra room inside the shoe right now), but the elastic ankle still keeps them snugly on her feet through most typical activities. The fur lining is very soft and she appears to be comfortable and warm in them. The only drawback is that they do get dirty quickly because of the suede-like material. A few chewings from my daughter when I wasn't looking turned the edges blue-gray. I washed them as Robeez suggests -- put in the washer on a cold cycle, partially dry in the dryer and then lay flat to finish drying -- and they washed up pretty well. They kept their shape for the most part (slightly looser around the ankles) and the fur came out nice and fluffy. The suede is no longer as soft and smooth, and although the individual discolored areas washed clean, the material looks a little dingy overall now. Still, they are warm, sturdy, and look cute with all of her outfits, so I think we'll be wearing these all winter and buying more Robeez in the spring.!Compare Price Special Offer

Seems like a lot of the negative reviews are from people who didn't "test drive" the glasses or do much research on the glasses before purchasing them. Oakleys are not cheap, by any means. They have a variety of glasses that serve different purposes and have different fits and lens shades. I have the polarized Straight Jackets and they fit me great. The Gascans, IMO, are more for a "fashion statement" as they had somewhat of a loose fit. They would not be well-suited for sports but would probably be great for driving or hanging around the pool. I use my Straight Jacket's for bike riding, driving, shooting, etc and they are an all-around great fitting pair of glasses with rubberized frame "sleeves" that help keep your glasses in place. Do your homework before spending $150+ for glasses!!Compare Price Special Offer

I ordered these darling boots during a promotion period where they were significantly discounted in price. My girls normally wear a size 12 (small feet for 6 year olds), so I guessed I'd need a size 13 since the boots were lined. They were darling upon arrival and I was excited to try them on one of my girls...well, her foot couldn't even fit into the boot. My guess is that I should have ordered a size 1 or even a size 2 for her rather than the size 13. I wish someone had thought to put this in the information section so that customers knew to size WAY UP.... I ended up returning them (return postage at my expense, mind you, as Amazon won't pay for return postage when nothing is defective about the item ordered....).!Compare Price Special Offer

These boots....I have been waiting for them to go down in price and when they did I snatched them up! I love everything about them, I went a 1/2 size up because you never know with shoes, (I wear a size 9)and there was still room in the toe. However the reason there is a star missing is because there is not enough space for my jeans to go into the boot. The shaft is not very wide so your toes go in just fine, but jeans will not. Maybe jeggings will, and I'm sure leggings will but slim leg jeans just wouldn't go into the shaft. Still in love and trying not to buy the black pair!!Compare Price Special Offer

I had been looking for a pair of Sorel boots for a while, something both fashionable, but extremely durable and cold weather tested. I live in one of the coldest climates and after buying these boots, I don't think I'll ever need another pair. The craftsmanship is evident from the moment you take them out box, and I have yet to step into the snow and feel even the slightest bit of cold. A very feminine way to stay warm for a very long time. I would definitely buy another pair again, but the construction is so solid, that I don't think I will ever need to.!Compare Price Special Offer

I've been running in Kayanos for a couple years now, having switched models from the Asics GT 2100 series. The asymmetrical lacing pattern is a comfortable design, and the model offers the correction I need for my overpronation. This time around, I was unsure I'd stick with Asics Kayanos because I never really felt great about my Kayano 16s for some reason. But, I've had more positive experiences than not, so I purchased the 17s from Road Runner Sports. The shoes arrived sooner than I anticipated, which pleased me. And the shoes feel like running with wings on my feet. Pretty awesome. Great cushioning, great colors, and sturdy build. All within 11oz. Road Runner Sports even made a follow-up phone call to me, to assess my satisfaction. This was an entirely positive purchasing experience.!Compare Price Special Offer

Slippers International Men's 400P Slipper
"
The slippers are very, very comfortable. The faux fur inside is incredibly soft. Their shoe-like shape makes it so my heels don't freeze and keeps the slippers from falling off, but they don't slip on immediately. It takes a little bit of toe wiggling to get my feet all the way in without the use of my hands, which, straight out of bed in the morning, is how I prefer to put them on.
The soles are rubber, which means that they are both durable (enough so to walk on cement) and, as far as I can tell, waterproof. I wouldn't walk in puddles or in snow, but stepping on a wet driveway won't hurt them. They work perfectly for walking outside to get the mail or the paper.
They do fit a little loose, despite what an all-caps-using reviewer said. I'm a size 13 and I think that I would have been better off buying size 12s for snugness. They still fit, and I certainly won't return them, but they are a little loose. I can easily fit a few fingers behind my heel in them, and they flop a bit when walking.
My biggest problem with the slippers is that they might be too warm. They really don't breathe at all, and without paying for any sort of breathable-but-warm material technology, I suppose I shouldn't complain. But with extended wear, especially if I'm not in a freezing environment, my feet get really sweaty, at which point I'd just as soon not wear the slippers.
Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase and will gladly keep the slippers until they wear through, which I don't expect to be any time soon.

These slippers are the most comfortable slippers I have ever put on my feet. They are a bit thin on the soles, and I am worried about their life expectancy, but the rest of the bootie makes up for it. They are made of insanely soft furry material inside and out. You can wear the top of the slipper either rolled down around your ankles (as shown in the picture) or rolled all the way up on your leg to provide more warmth.

Nomad Women's Puddles Rain Boot
"
I was extremely surprised and delighted to get this pair for Christmas, and after trying them on I am even more delighted. The rubber is thick and appears to be durable, though obviously only time will tell if the durability assessment is true. They look great on and are wide enough to accommodate my pant legs so that the legs don't get wet either. I actually have to pull them all the way closed even with my pant legs inside due to having slender calves. I point this out because they have a good three to four inches of room left when fully expanded and could accommodate a large range of calf sizes.
As far as sole/shoe size goes, they run a little large, which is due in part to the width. My nines fit just about the same way my 9.5 running shoes do, lengthwise. But,they are definitely wide. I didn't send them back because well, most rain boots I have tried are wide and what are you going to do if you have narrow feet? I wore thick socks with them and that seemed to do the trick.
Over all, they are great. Comfortable, flexible and dry if you can handle the extra width or happen to need the extra width. I've only worn them once though. Will update with any changes after they've gotten more wear.

I absolutely ADORE these boots, and they look exactly how they are pictured. That being said, I wish I had returned these the second I received them. When I first tried them on, they were comfortable, but the snaps that keep the boot cuffed kept coming undone and the zipper in the back was not opening and closing smoothly. Needles to say, three wears later, the zipper on one of the boots completely broke. So, so, so disappointed!

crocs Men's Yukon Clog
"
I decided to try out the Yukon. At face value it had everything that I wanted and in all ways but one, it actually delivered. The ventilation is excellent-feet do not get hot at all. The adjustable heel strap works great and while there is some elevation of the heel when you walk it is hardly noticeable and after a while it feels like a closed heel even though it is not. The style of the clog is a "step-up" from your "run of the mill" clogs.
The only criticism I have for this clog is comfort. The problem is the foot bed consists of a hard rubberized sole that has nubs that project upward that is designed to help circulation and message the foot. Unfortunately all it did for me was make the otherwise perfect clog into a uncomfortable clog.
I absolutely agree with a previous reviewer's (Jared) comments that these clogs "are not bare foot friendly and worn without socks will murder your feet". I will go just a bit further than Jared and say that even worn with socks your feet may not be torn up but it is certainly not as comfortable as other clogs that have a soft cushiony feel. Arch support was also minimal.
Fortunately for me the local sporting goods store ("Dicks") carried these clogs and I was able to try them on with some cheap orthotics that when inserted into the clog not only covered the rubber nubs but also provided the soft cushiony feel I wanted with better arch support. All the problems were solved and now I have the perfect clog!
For those of you who have the same concerns and wish to follow suit with my solution please be aware that the orthotics take up space within the clog ( unlike clogs made by "KlogsUSA" which have a removable sole that can be interchanged with an orthotic). I wear a size 8/12 tennis shoe. With the orthotic in place I bought a size 10 clog. Last bit of advice: if you buy an orthotic to cover the nubs buy a full orthotic that spans the entire clog from toe to heel because the nubs extend the entire length of the foot. Hope this was helpful.

ACORN Women's New Spa Thong Slipper
"
They look cute on one's feet. And even though they're a thong, they do not rub uncomfortably between my toes. They have a rubber bottom, so if you need to run outside quickly, they will wear well (e.g. not get soaked through the sole of the shoe).
I do also agree with one other reviewer -- depending on your shoe size, you may need to adjust. I've heard that these slippers run true to size, but I always wear a size 8 shoe, and found that the 6.5-7.5 size fits me perfectly (my feet are fully in the shoebed, with a comfortable amount of room around the edges).
I like these so much that I have purchased a second pair for my suitcase, and a pair for my Mom.
I attribute 5 stars to this product due to: 1) comfort; 2) ability to wash in the washer/dryer (or air dry); 3) price; and 4) good looks/style. Overall, a great value!

These Acorn slippers are extremely comfortable. I love the terry cloth feel, particularly in the summer because my feet sweat, and the slippers keep my feet cool and dry. I agree with the other reviews, they are like walking on marshmallows!They look cute on one's feet. And even though they're a thong, they do not rub uncomfortably between my toes. They have a rubber bottom, so if you need to run outside quickly, they will wear well (e.g. not get soaked through the sole of the shoe).
I do also agree with one other reviewer -- depending on your shoe size, you may need to adjust.

Sorel Women's Caribou Boot
"
The downsides...the Caribou are difficult to walk in and are no good for winter hiking of any kind because they are incredibly bulky and tend to twist your ankle as you walk. These boots feel like they create an unnecessary workout and are too large to fit into my snowshoes. If you have weak ankles or tendinitis, you will want to avoid these. Also, if you prefer more arch support and like to use inserts such as Superfeet in your shoes and boots, you will not be able to do that with the Caribou.
I just bought a pair of Sorel Snow Drifts and couldn't believe how easy to walk in and lightweight they are in comparison to the Caribou. I love Sorels for their warmth, but I think that they make many other boots that are better for getting around in than the clunky Caribous.

I have a love-hate relationship with these boots. For one, I've had my pair for ten years, so any updates on the liner or sole have passed me by. They are rugged, last a long time, and really do keep your feet warm. My toes only have gotten cold with these when the temperatures are in the negative 15 range, and that may be because the liner is beginning to wear out. For the many days of warm feet, I am eternally grateful to Sorel. Also, they are so incredibly ugly that they're almost cool looking. When I'm stomping around town (Vermont) in these, I often look down and think, what the heck are those things attacking my feet??The downsides...the Caribou are difficult to walk in and are no good for winter hiking of any kind because they are incredibly bulky and tend to twist your ankle as you walk.

I have been wearing Acorn slippers now for over 5 years. They are my favorite and have been a small luxury I have treated myself to since discovering them. I have found that Acorn slippers tend to run big as I am a size 8 but have always found the 6.5-7.5 to fit perfectly. They may seem snug at first, but they will stretch out a bit over time. On average, they last me about 2-3 years until I decide to buy another pair solely because the inside padding becomes worn down (I really love the inner "pillow-like" feel of a new pair of Acorn slippers). I would recommend these to anyone!!Compare Price Special Offer

These slippers are fun looking and really thick on sides and top. BUT, the bottoms are very very thin. I'm scared to wear them lest they wear through within a week (of in-house only wearing). The thin soles also don't make them very comfortable to walk around in. If I had known about how thin the soles were, I wouldn't have purchased them. They are fun looking so I don't want to send them back. But, I'm going to have to figure out how to alter these to have a thicker sole. Anyway, they are cute and fun and all that but they might not last if you actually use them. And the only reason you would want to use them is if you want to walk around in what basically boils down to thin cotton socks with a bunch of stuffing on top of your feet. Other than all that, very cute.!Compare Price Special Offer

I originally bought a pair of these slippers for my husband, but then ended up purchasing a pair for my son-in-law as well. My husband says that these are very comfortable, plenty warm enough (he has a basement den so it's a bit chilly down there) without causing any perspiration, and he practically lives in these when he's home from work. If you've never treated yourself to a pair of sherling slippers, I would suggest you give these a try. They have a good quality upper, full shearling throughout inside and indoor/outdoor soles. My husbands been caught more than once going out to the store in these ;)!Compare Price Special Offer

Sorel Women's Nakiska Slipper

My hardest decision was the sizing. Half of the reviews I read said if you were between sizes to go up a size and half said to go down a size. I was so confused. I did not want my toes squished but I did not want to get a half size up and then have them flip flopping. I did however, decide to go up to a size 8, since I am normally a 7 1/2 and figured I could wear socks if I needed to. Well, so far- perfect fit! Glad I did not go down a half size. I mostly wear them without socks (am right now and so cozy), but I also wear them with thin socks. I do wonder if someday they will loosen up some more and then feel too loose. I hope not. I had read another review that said that they did not do that, but only time will tell.
I have to add also, that my mom did not end up getting me the slippers since I actually got a better gift, but then my mother-in-law got me some slippers that were not Sorels. They are Dearfoam and they are nice slippers- what I'm really used to. No problem with them really, as I've always worn slippers like that, and they really look similar and even have a sole I can wear outside. If I had never read all of the reviews about the Sorels, I would have been thrilled with the new Dearfoams and been happy. However, since I had now had my heart set on sinking my feet into the Sorel's, I went ahead and ordered them for myself. In the meantime, I was wearing my Dearfoams and happy with them.
My Sorels arrived and it was just as I expected after reading other reviews. I put my feet in and they felt so good- the arch support is so comfortable and the overall design makes the slippers fit like a glove to my foot. There isn't any flopping around, but they aren't tight, they just seem to form to my foot. The sole is different than the Dearfoams, as they curve up a little in the front and remind me more of a running shoe, that helps your foot as it curves to the ground. Also, a big difference from the other slipper, they are whisper quiet. The soles grip my floors (laminate and linoleum) without any slipping, and because they don't flip flop, they are more like wearing socks. This is a nice feature to me, but maybe no big deal to anyone else. I was then able to try on one Dearfoam and one Sorel at the same time. Wow! The foot in the Dearfoam was just a foot in a slipper, but my foot in the Sorel was like a foot getting a hug. Dumb analogy maybe, but really, the Sorel foot was SO comfy. I feel bad, because I am certainly not trying to bash Dearfoam here, but I'm sure it sounds that way. Really, if you just want an average slipper that doesn't cost much- then they are fine. Now though, that I've tried the Sorel's and I am expecting them to last a long time- I can't imagine not spending the extra money to get these quality slippers for my feet! I am a new Sorel customer that plans to be a repeat customer. I'm even considering giving some as gifts, knowing that other people would be just as happy.
One last thing I wanted to say- I almost call these "shoes" instead of slippers, as I am wearing them all the time I've worn them beyond my mail box and trash can outside. I've worn them to church, to the store, just wherever and whenever I can. They are that comfy. They are sturdy enough for me to wear them out (and stylish, I think), but yet, they don't feel heavy or bulky like a shoe when I'm inside. I even slipped into bed with them on my feet one night, because it was cold and I didn't to take them off. That time, I did wish I had put socks on and then I would have slipped them off. Anyway, because these are so versatile for me as well as so comfortable, I am sold, sold, sold on Sorel Nakiskas. I am certain I will buy more Sorel products for my feet! I never review, but I always read reviews. I always think that I should review on so many products that I like, but never take the time. For these though, I finally took the time. Hopefully I'll review more items from now on. The Sorels are just so great that I had to start here.

Well, my feet are happy and I am definitely pleased with my new slippers! These slippers had a lot to live up to after all the reviews I read about them on various sites, and so far, they aren't letting me down. Honestly, I would have not regularly paid for this much for slippers for myself, but it was my 40th birthday and I told my mom I wanted some new slippers that I could slide on without having to bend over and use my hands- plus something I could wear in or out (to get the mail and such). She sent me a link with the Sorel Nakiska slides (same as these, but the part by the heal is down a little lower). I started reading reviews on those and then came across this style, with more coverage of the heal and was getting really excited at trying these for myself.My hardest decision was the sizing.

This is a very lovely and well-made slipper. Super soft and comfortable. These scuffs keep your feet warm and dry (if your feet sweat like mine do). Ordered a 1/2 size down. Ex: I wear a 7 1/2 and ordered a 7 and the fit was perfect. The only thing I don't like about the slipper is that it does not cover as much of my foot as I want; it only comes to about mid-foot leaving the rest exposed. My feet stay warmer than I believed possible but I wanted more coverage.!Compare Price Special Offer

They fit snuggly onto the shoe, covering nearly all of it, and unless someone is looking closely, it is difficult to tell he's wearing them; they appear to be black dress shoes without laces.
In addition to appearance, my husband likes the way they can be folded neatly to fit into his travel bag when the weather is fair.
He has thanked me more for buying his this product than many previous gifts. Although he has worn them during the last couple of months only, he has no complaints thus far.

ASICS Women's GT 2160 Running Shoe
"
I used to be a total Brooks sneaker aficionado, but since discovering ASICS, my Brooks are barely used. I just find I can walk easier, move faster, and have NO PAIN after a brisk 30 to 45 minute walk. And it makes errands go faster just being able to not worry about feet/joints.
I had the 2150, which is a lot like these. But I do note that I slightly prefer the 2160. I use a size 9.5 to 10W in shoes (mostly 10W, but as I lose weight, my feet are shifting and I'm between sizes sometimes). I have to buy size 11D in ASICS. It seems like they'd be too big, but I find that going up a size works. I tried the 10.5D, and that works okay, but not as well as the 11D. I just adjust the laces to my shrinking food and eventually will need fatter socks (I love the ASICS hera locuts).
I have these now in two colors (yes, love them that much that I paid $100 for each pair, twice). My ASICS collection is now 4 pairs since I discovered them in January. I walk nearly every day, so I need to rotate and be comfortable.
Thumbs up. Great running shoe (though I just walk with them).
But if you want a deal, try to find the earlier model of this one and might find it for a lot less. They are very similar. Almost identical.
Happy exercising!
UPDATE: I've lost more weight, and now the 10.5 fits better, and is even getting a bit loose. I'm wearing a 9 and 9.5 in shoes now, and don't need wide. So, if you're a regular width and a 9 or 9.5, try a 10 or 10.5 (depending on how much toe room you prefer.) I can still wear the 11W with thick sock and really tighten the laces, but clearly, I'll buy a smaller size for future ASICS. Great shoes, though.
