Cloud Nine Sheepskin Mens Romeo Indoor House Slipper
Product Description
The Men's Indoor/Outdoor Boot(ie)....
It's for Men, Not Women, Kids or Babies...
I hesitate to call this shoe a 'bootie.' Why? Because it is full sized, fully sheepskin lined, indoor/outdoor footwear for men. It goes to size 16. We're not joking around here. You can put this shoe on the feet of some NFL linemen... Big guys with some big feet... And maybe a couple of NBA forwards.
Maybe we should call it the "Men's High Top Post Work/Workout Shoe..." maybe, maybe....
The fact is, that this house shoe is a more flexible, more indoor oriented version of our men's moccasin - its upper is more pliable. It sports the same gel sole and is lined with 100% sheepskin, with a removable sheepskin insole.
It's very welcoming after a good workout and shower, it's great to wake up to in the morning - so spare your feet the shock of an unforgiving cold floor.
It's the real deal, so let's cut out the "ie" on the end. It's a short indoor boot for men. Don't forget your pair....

- 100% Sheepskin Interior
- 100% Sheepskin Collar that you can flip up for extra warmth

A tight fit is the right fit. But not too tight!
Breaking In Your Sheepskin Shoes...
Breaking in sheepskin takes hours for some, within a day for others, a few days for others still. When broken in your shoe or boot will magically mold to your foot for a perfect fit.
Special Sizing Information
One of the most important things to understand in buying and wearing sheepskin footwear is sizing. Sheepskin footwear s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s over a very short time period and molds itself to your foot. This is very different than leather or canvas or shoes of other materials. Sheepskin footwear will stretch about 1/2 a size.
A great fit consists of these points:
- A brand new slipper, shoe or boot should have a slightly tight fit.
- It should NOT be painful. But it should be slightly uncomfortable.
- The front of the shoe should touch the tip of your big toe or be very near to the front. But it should not “scrunch” your toe..
- So, when trying on a new pair of sheepskin slippers, shoes or boots, don't worry if they feel a bit "too snug." This is a correct fit.
- If they are painful, that’s not good. They're too small.
How to Get the Right Fit
When your shoes arrive, try them on barefoot. Do this on a clean surface, such as a carpet or clean floor. See where your big toe is - it should be touching or very close to the front of the shoe. In non-sheepskin shoes, this would be too tight. This is the correct fit for a new sheepskin shoe.
In trying on scuffs or open back shoes, your heel should be at the very, very end of the back of the shoe. Over a few days, your foot will move 1/4 to 1/2 an inch into the slipper.
If the shoe is uncomfortable to wear for long periods, break them in gradually - a few hours at a time, until they mold to your foot. All this should be no big deal, but you should be aware of this as it's different than ordinary footwear. Remember, sheepskin fur will compress and "open up" the shoe.
Breaking boots will take a bit longer than shoes. When they mold to your foot, they feel great - but it can take a bit more time than you're used to.
