Altrec.com Product Description:
You don't have to be a mountaineer or Arctic adventurer to justify buying these Sierra Design Down Booties, especially when you realize that you'll enjoy more ankle warmth and coverage for a price lower than the Sierra Design Down Mules. The added down-fill warmth and enhanced toe room beats any post-hike pair of constricting hiking or backpacking socks. The high ankle profiles on the Sierra Design Down Booties deliver big on warmth, but you can also loosen the adjustable draw cords for a little venting. The non-skid nylon tread soles are excellent for big group outings where multiple tents, group shelters and other camp amenities involve forays beyond the warm confines of your sleeping bag.
- Toasty down-filled insulation with high ankle profile
- Easily adjustable calf draw cord helps seal in heat
- Elasticized instep straps for improved fit with minimal slip
- Non-skid nylon tread soles resist saturation better than leather soles

Toasty - Comfy Got them for snow camping. Packs light, compressible, excellent for kicking around the snow cave or igloo. Hate putting on the clunky boots around camp.

Great product These booties are wonderful! They are sooo warm and comfortable. I like the elastic around the ankle to keep them in place. I also bought a pair for my daughter as a Christmas gift. Initially she wanted me to return them, but once she saw me wearing mine, she put hers on and has not taken them off.

Great all-around Got pairs for self and husband and am now buying as gifts for the whole family. The down is light as air, feet are toasty, and the thick foam footbed is cushiony yet very stable. We've even worn ours outside to walk the dog, get paper, etc- very versatile.

quite warm It didn't feel warm at the beginning because the bottom of the booties feels plasticey and is not something you'd feel under your feet normally. The plastic band inside didn't feel right at the beginning...but then all is justified after a night of warming up and so I'd still give it a 4 star.

warm puffy and light I purchased the men's and woman's down booties. They are big and puffy, almost silly looking. However they are very warm and light. My wife and I were wearing these booties at a bed and breakfast log cabin. The wood stove was just getting stoked and the temperature was 42degrees F. My wife and I were the only people at the dining table with warm toasty feet. The fake macho guys even stopped laughing at my puffy booties when I let them put their hands inside my booties just to see how warm they really are. Just like North Face mittens for your feet.

Excellent Purchase This is the second pair that I have purchased in 5 years. They are extremely comfortable and lightweight due to the down filling. I wear these booties around my house all the time since I live in a cold climate. They are also great for camping!!! The keep your toes cozy on those chilly nights.

keeps your feet warm Takes a bit getting use to as the bottom of it is hard...it won't feel warm right away, but would definitely trap heat over time and you won't want to get out of it in the morning.

Fantastic Slippers! I bought a pair of these booties for myself and my spouse for Christmas. I couldn't be happier with them. They have a nice cushion footbed and the sleeping bag style keeps your feet toasty warm. I highly recommend them.

After 14 years, I'm ordering another pair! I received these slippers as a gift 14 years ago and have loved them. After heavy indoor and light outdoor use, the soles are finally wearing out and I'm ordering another pair. Extremely warm and cozy! I also like the thick soles which provide great cushioning for my feet.

Fabulous! These were a gift to my significant other, she loves them. I think I'll be getting a pair myself. The outer soles are nicely textured for traction (unlike other brands). The drawstring closure is a nice feature too...they stay up high on the ankle/lower leg.

Great, warm boots! Excellent price and quality I went camping for the first time and was so nervous about having cold feet. (If my feet get cold, its hard to get them warm, and then I can't sleep.) We camped just off the beach in Santa Barbara and I put my boots on around 5 p.m while my feet were still warm but just starting to get cold. I wore my boots until midnight, at which time I went to bed with very warm feet. They stayed warm all night and I was so happy with the performance of these booties (I wore ski socks inside them and slept in the ski socks.) The only funny thing is that they are wide and flat looking, kind of like muppet feet. I was the butt of a lot of jokes on our group campout but could care less...because...at midnight I went to bed with toasty little feet.

The best I have had many pairs of slippers but none compare with these. they are warm and comfortable. The bottoms are nonslip and you can even walk outside with them on. They keep your feet toasty but not overheated. I wear mine all day and night at home and will probably buy another pair to have because they get so much wear. With or without socks, these will keep even the colest feet warm in homes, cabins, tents, or wherever you may be.
The price is excellent for these and you will not be sorry you bought them. I have written a very detailed review of these at www.epinions.com if you want to know more. (http://www.epinions.com/content_210654105220)
Five big stars for these "Moon Slippers". They may not be sleek but they're the best I have worn and, in the freezing cold winters of Upstate, NY, I need something that will keep my feet warm from September until May and beyond.
Well worth the price.

Great warmth and light weight These booties are extremely warm without being too heavy. In fact they're very light due to the down-fill construction. The non-skid tread is a nice feature and the soles themselves have a nice soft feel. The only thing that prevents these booties from getting a 5 star rating is the ankle band within the lining - NOT the drawcord enclosure at the top of the bootie. This band is actually placed lower down on the ankle. You can't see it in pictures. It's not the worst thing and not terribly tight but I would prefer it were not there. This feature should be included in the description.

Great!!! My mother was the recipient of the down booties for Christmas. She told me they fit perfect and with her varicose veins these booties will help her get thru the winter in N.E. Pennsylvania with alot less pain!!

Toasty Toes!! I was looking for a down bootie to use with my sleeping bag on backpacking trips in the Sierra Nevada high country. I opted for the bootie with the sole so that I wouldn't have to pull on my heavy boots for middle of the night trips from the tent. Although I haven't had a chance to use them in the high country yet, I'm using them at home and find that they are very light and comfortable. Like another reviewer said " little clouds of warmth for your feet". I'm very happy with my purchase.

A-a-a-a-h-h-h-h-h... These booties are what angels wear on those chilly nights up in Heaven! They are like warm little clouds surrounding one's feet. If I had one wish, it would be that Sierra Designs produce a tall version, one that reached to an inch or two below the knee, covering the calf...

Back for more!! My husband bought me a pair for x-mas, he also bought me a very beautiful diamond watch! Although I love the watch, I can't really wear it everyday. Where as my booties! I practically do! I wear them practically everywhere, and have had quite a few comments and looks. I hope I can start a new fad! They are so comfy and not to hot, but keep my feet cozy! They are comfortable and something I can wear all day without my feet feeling sore
In fact that is why I'm at this site, to order another pair! I hope they will be something that I will be able to continue ordering years down the road!
I think I will get my husband a pair while I'm ordering myself a pair! We can start a new fad together!
