Comments about REI Down Booties - Men's:

I wrote a review of these last year with pictures etc. Now it's gone. What a waste of my time. These are ok as is, but you can do a few things to make them better. Despite all the down on top, feet still will get cold from the bottom unless you put in a felt insole. Also, fabric sole will soak up melted snow, so even though they are plenty comfortable out of the tent, when you come back in, your feet then get wet/cold. I covered the sole with black polyurethane roofing sealant, problem solved.

Comments about REI Down Booties - Men's:

These slippers keep my feet toasty warm when it's cold, But as others have reported, there is one big problem with them. The soles are nothing more than felt pads covered by fabric, so they are worthless outdoors. And even just worn indoors they don't last long. It's really too bad because these are the warmest and most comfortable slippers I've ever owned, but in order to keep using them I have to wear old socks over them to hold them together because there are so many holes worn into the bottom.

I love one reviewer's solution of coating the sole with roofing sealant. I had often thought of doing something similar but wasn't sure what to use. Maybe I can save these things after all.

These are great. The soles could use more insulation, but I put my bare feet in them while at camp and kept warm at about 20 degrees.

Comments about REI Down Booties - Men's:

My wife and I wear these around the house in winter. They are perfect for that. We take them on winter ski trips too.We use them almost exclusively indoors (home, hotel, cabin, etc). If you used them outdoors, they would wear out quickly, but hey, the price is low.[...] We picked them up during that sale.If you want booties for outdoor camping, the best I've seen are made by Feather Friends. Those have an inner and outer part. Google them if you want serious mountaineering/camping booties.

Comments about REI Down Booties - Men's:

These are nice warm slippers for wearing around the house. they are very comfortable and wash easily. The downside is that they have a cloth sole so these can't be worn outside. Also the cloth sole wears out even around the house before the rest of the slipper.

Comments about REI Down Booties - Men's:

I use these booties around the house in Idaho City, Idaho. The down filler continually falls out of the booty leaving a mess to pick up. Inside the booty the down will penetrate your sock poking your feet with the sharp end of the feather. The elastic didn't last a month on the left booty before it broke. Outside the booty does well in snow, seeming to be somewhat water resistant. I will not buy another pair and expect to get only this winter's wear out of this pair!

Comments about REI Down Booties - Men's:

Very warm and comfortable. I use them around the house and cabin, and wouldn't hesitate to use them in a tent as well. I've compared to others on the market, and if you're looking for a casual bootie for lounging, these are a steal [$]

Comments about REI Down Booties - Men's:

The Booties are comfortable. Wearing only around the house on hardwood floors the soles wear out within 40-60 hours of wear. Best use is sitting still on the couch reading if you want warm feet. Walking too much around the house wears them out. This is my fourth pair in 3 years & they are too much trouble but they do feel good & are warm. REI, please fix the sole problem. I don't expect to ever be able to wear them outside...I don't want that. But it would be nice to wear them around the house on nice clean hardwoord floors and have them last more than a few weeks. I don't think that is asking too much. The soles are thin cloth & they wear out within 40-60 hours of use. I suppose they would be fine for cold weather tent camping wearing only in a tent at night & no moving around (standing, walking) for 5-6 winter camping trips a year. But any other use is not good.

Comments about REI Down Booties - Men's:

These slippers are very toasty for the top of the foot and ankle. However the sole of the slipper is very thin, no support, very little cushioning and has no protection against anything outside. These could be made an excellent slipper if they had a better outer sole and a bit more padding on the inner sole.

Comments about REI Down Booties - Men's:

I have had 3 pairs of these - ordered the 1st pair and it wore out in one winter season of inside use. I figured it must have been defective so I ordered another pair - they are warm and my house is 60 F during the day and 54 at night. The 2nd pair didn't make it any longer than the first - I even taped the bottom in hopes of making it through a winter. So I sent them back and received an exchange. Then used the 3rd pair another winter and the same thing - the sole is just useless. Even walking on carpet ONLY wore them out. So my advice - they are great for warmth and if you wear them just sitting around then buy them - otherwise plan to buy a new pair each winter.
