Oh my gosh.  These are so comfy, soft, and warm.  They are wonderful.  They are labeled as flip flop slippers, and that is accurate.  I will say from the picture, it isn't obvious.  I actually didn't pay the greatest attention to the flip flop part, and thought the toes were enclosed.  They aren't.  However, the sheepskin is so thick, that it makes it look that way at first.  There is also plenty of it to keep your foot warm and toasty.  The only con I can think of is that for some people, the tong between the toe might get annoying.  You know if you are the type that can't stand that style of shoe though.  They are super fluffy, and while I'm normally the type that can't stand the tong, it didn't seem to bother me.  Maybe because of the extra cushioning behind all of the sheepskin?  Anyway, overall I love the shoes and think they will be terrific for winter.  I am considering picking up more for members of the family as gifts.  I received these at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion and review.
