You can spend less on a slipper. We still think this is the one to buy first, and the difference shows up where your foot actually meets the shoe: a deep, dense pile that wraps the whole foot instead of a thin fuzzy coat, and a sole that keeps cold tile from coming up through your heel. A few weeks of wearing a pair around a cold house turned this from the obvious pick on paper into the obvious pick in practice.
Warmth is its reason for existing, and it sits near the top of this set on that count. It is the pair we put on straight out of bed and then forgot about, which is the highest compliment a house shoe gets. The trade-off is underfoot: UGG cushions with pile rather than a shaped footbed, so there is no arch to speak of. If you need support under you all day, this is not the pair, and the Haflinger below is where we point people with plantar fasciitis or high arches.
Sizing runs true, though the pile takes up volume, so if you are between sizes and plan to wear thick socks, go up rather than down. It is also the pair that gets bought twice: once as a gift, then again for the giver. The cream is the shade that makes them look like something you would wear to brunch, which is more than most house shoes manage.
Bottom line: If you want one pair to wear every cold morning and occasionally out to the mailbox, this is the one we would spend on.
