Ciora Women's Berit Ankle Boot Sheepskin Slippers

I admit, I originally brought a pair of these - my first from this company - with the intention of modifying them for outdoor use. When I got them, I liked them so much I brought two more slippers from this company, one of a different design to use just as slippers, and another of this design but in another colour to pretty much keep on standby but they too have been used as slippers. The inside is so, so soft and comfortable, and the suede soft enough to instantly shape themselves to even my wide feet. My intent in wanting a pair of these to use as outdoor shoes was to try and get something that gave that "barefoot shoe" effect, but warmer, and not looking like a trainer, which all other searches gave me. This seemed ideal, and I just love the look of them. In modifying them, I simply waxed the outside (I used bees wax, warmed so I could rub it onto the suede, then melted in with a hair dryer), once underneath, twice above, and then loaded the seams with more wax to waterproof. Then I sprayed the underside with a clear artificial rubber, to toughen and protect them (deviating somewhat from the natural theme there but I couldn't think of anything comparable off the top of my head). The first couple of coats of rubber soaked into the suede, so I am glad I used the light coating of wax first as a barrier. Later coats did form a layer over the suede, but these have begun to slowly peel away in places - not sure what else I could use for this, but with some of the rubber soaked into the suede it may not be a problem. Even with some of the surface rubber peeling, they have remained waterproof. The result so far; love them, my favourite shoe. I used the wax on the graphite pair, which after waxing became a few shades darker then the original colour. It took two attempts to wax the seams enough to water proof - my first trip through wet grass revealed a leak - but since then I have been over muddy ground and wet grass and my feet have remained dry and warm and I can comfortably feel the ground under me more so then I can with a normal sole - yet the suede and wool still cushion comfortably. I will say, if anyone else attempts this, unless you want to add more grip - perhaps sprinkling some sand between a layer of rubber - this is not something that works on icy ground very well, so beware of that.

Thank you so much - my lovely slippers arrived this morning. Love the personal touch of hand written note and sweeties 😍 These will be my second pair, my others are now 2.5 years old and still going strong, but just beginning to wear at the bottom, after 2.5 years of wearing every day, that's some well made long lasting quality slippers! Originally I thought they were a little expensive as I don't often spend more than £12 on a pair of slippers but always have cold feet and thought I'd treat myself! I honestly can say I will never buy any other slipper again - warm, comfortable, fabulous quality and great company. I recommend them to all my friends!

I just love these slippers! They are a real treat for my feet and such good quality; beautifully made. Sizing is generously accurate; I’m a size 5.5 and a size 5 fit perfectly, generous without the initial tightness. . I thought the fur would wear down quite quickly, but I’ve not taken them off for weeks and still the fur is like new, softly caressing my feet. Can’t believe I’m here writing about a pair of slippers... but I’m so happy with them. I was hesitant because they’re not cheap to buy... glad I took the chance! You do need to spray some suede protector on them, especially if you’re as clumsy as I am, as they do mark quite easily, but a good suede cleaner should take care of that! Recommend!

I’ve put them on and haven’t taken them off since. They’re so cosy and snug! I’ll update the review in a few weeks when I’ve got a better idea of how durable they are! First impressions though are that these are excellent slippers and will keep my feet toasty and comfortable.

Love, love, love these little pixie slippers. So warm, comfortable and a perfect fit. I bought some for my daughter three years ago and hers have lasted so well They still look almost as good as new. Great value.

lovely slippers!

UPDATE: I am still wearing these slippers daily in 2025 after buying in 2021. One of the best things I've bought! I wear slippers EVERY day. It has to be absolutely sweltering for me to switch it up. They also come with me on holiday and sometimes even evenings at friends' houses. Slippers have been an annual Christmas present as I inevitably wear through them after 12 months. This is partly because I prefer the soft-sole slippers. Anyway, these slippers are cosy, comfy and have lasted me over a year now with no signs of wearing through at all. Very impressed and actually think they will make it at least another year as well :)

I have only tried these on, as they are for Christmas. But the look, feel and style of them is gorgeous. They arrived promptly, well packaged, and I am dying to wear them. I chose them because I wanted a 'soft' sole - a lot of slippers now seem to have a rubber or plastic soles. I will probably wear them with socks, and the size therefore seems perfect. My husband was jealous! - and although he doesn't need any yet, we will certainly look at this range when he does.
