Wow, I just love my new Dudes. They are perfect house shoes for chilly English Autumn/Winter/Spring. I’d had other Dudes in a size 7 and found them quite short so I ordered my fur-lined Dudes in an 8 as I intended to wear them with thick socks, and they’re perfect. They look so much nicer than slippers but the elastic laces mean they hold on to my feet like trainers so I can dash around the house without worrying they’ll fall off, yet I can slip my feet in and out so easily. The sole is light and flexible and has good grip, so they’re a pleasure to wear, but they’re not really made for outdoor use or for serious walking.
