Most comfortable house shoe ever!
I never wear house shoes because I love to be barefoot in the house and I get too hot. However I had a major foot break 3 years ago and had emergency surgery and had to have a plate and 6 screws put in my foot/ankle. I was one bedrest for 2 months. After I healed I had a hard time walking barefoot. I couldn't even walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night without shoes on. Socks didn't help. I spoke with my orthopedic surgeon and he advised me to get some comfortable GOOD quality house shoes until I was able to walk barefoot again. Since I HATE wearing house shoes I knew this would be a problem. I tried on several house shoes. I found these and liked them because I was able to wear these and I didn't have to wear socks. The rubber sole made them sturdy enough to ease my pain when I didn't have shoes on. I put these shoes right at my bedside and would slip them immediatly on when I got out of bed. Now almost 3 years later I have no foot pain when I walk barefoot but now I have a problem with taking these off. I love them! I wear them all the time around the house. I love the way they feel so much that I even bought a pair of boots this year. My sister just moved to my town to attend college and every time she comes over she wants to wear my house shoes. I ended up buying her a pair for xmas this year because I love mine to much to share. ....She loves her too! The only con is that the tie doesn't stay tied. I have to double knot them to keep them tied. I see now that there is a scallop pair without the tie. I am going to get those. I am definatly a forever UGG customer now.
Beautiful moccasins!
I bought these moccasins as a gift for my grandmother. She is getting hard to shop for because she has everything, but I knew she would never spend this much on a pair of slippers and no one else would think of getting these for her. I also knew that she deserved a pair and would fall in love with them. She did! Every time I go to see her she has them on and tells me how great they are. I read many reviews and it seems these run a little smaller (funny because most Ugg boots run big) so I sized up for her and they fit perfectly. I have never been so proud of a gift I've gotten for someone. I don't even think she knows what Uggs are or how much they cost which makes it even better (she'd scold me for spending that much on slippers for her - lol). Point being is that she doesn't love them because they say Ugg on them - she loves them because they are of awesome quality and make her feet feel great - not to mention they are super cute and now I want a pair!

Try these on at the store before buying
Make sure you try these on at the store before purchasing because the fit on UGG Dakota slippers is inconsistent. I generally wear sizes 8-8.5 wide in women's shoes. After reading some of the other reviews about fit, I decided to go up in size and purchased a pair of these in the Dusty Rose color in size 9. They were amazing - fit comfortably, cute style, great color, warm. I loved them so much that I decided to splurge and treat myself to a second pair for the holidays. This time I purchased them in Espresso, also in size 9, and they were a huge disappointment. Style, color and warmth were all still great, but the fit was narrow. I thought they would stretch, but they didn't. Instead, they start to hurt when you wear them for a few hours, but since I've already worn them, I can't return them. I'm not sure how the fit can be so different when the shoes are supposedly the same style and same size. So, wonderful shoe, but try them at the store first because the size for this style appears to be very inconsistent.
An EVERYDAY shoe!!
These shoes are so cute! I bought the tobacco color two years ago for both my sister and I and we wear them pretty much every day! They are so comfortable and durable! I wear them with all kinds of jeans (skinny jeans, boot cut, regular) and even shorts and capris. You really can't go wrong! I call them my school, study, driving, travel, shopping, etc. shoe. I just bought the pewter as my second pair and I plan on getting the espresso soon as well! These shoes last! The only downside is that the leather bow comes undone sometimes so you have to remember how to tie it (if you don't tie it correctly they look pretty terrible and unkept). Also, I recommend wearing no-show socks that are made for use with flats to prolong the quality/life of the shoe interior. These shoes are definitely worth the money because they will last much longer than cheaper versions. Some of my friends buy cheaper versions over and over because they fall apart or get ruined by rain. I've still got my UGGs!
LOVE LOVE LOVE....but...
I bought a cheap pair of mocs last winter and my feet were always cold and wet. So I decided to buy some UGG mocs...and though I hesitated at first because of the price, I definitely have come to think they were worth every cent. In fact, I now own three pairs of these mocs, and I'll probably buy more at some point. They are super warm and comfortable (which is great in snowy, cold places like upstate NY), and above all they keep my feet completely dry (even when walking across campus in the pouring rain!). HOWEVER, it is true that the toe wears out and gets dirty quickly, as the sole of the shoe offers zero protection to the toe area. Also, the bow comes untied very often, which isn't a big deal, just annoying. UGG recommends buyers order a size smaller than they normally would, which I did. At first the mocs felt very tight, but after wearing them for a few days they did stretch out and now they fit my feet perfectly. I definitely recommend these shoes!
Love these slippers!
I bought these slippers three years ago and I still wear them all the time! What I like about this style over some of the others, is that they are fully enclosed around the foot, versus the slip on kind, which helps keep my feet warm. The sheepskin lining is great, and the rubber sole is nice because I don't worry about wearing them outside. I have worn mine outside many times going to school, or out running errands. They look cute with jeans, but I have mostly worn them around the house. I am a true size 7 and that is the size that I purchased. When I first got them they were too snug, the bulky lining eventually squished down and molded to my foot, and now they fit perfectly! The only problem that I have had with them is the bow coming untied. Once the bows came undone they were constantly coming untied, so I had to stitch them in place. My only suggestion would be to secure the bows by sewing or glueing while they are new.
espresso
I was debating on these (dakotas) or the scalloped moc. In a way I wish I went with the scalloped moc because my LACES CONSTANTLY COME UNTIED!! I'm going to look online/put glue on them to keep them from doing this. It's pretty much the most annoying/con of the shoe. Also the scalloped moc didn't offer it in espresso.
In the classic ugg I wear a size 5, but in these I wear a size 6. I actually went to a store to try them out, before I bought them to make sure of the size. I normally wear a size 6 in regular shoes. They are VERY SNUG the first time. They shouldn't HURT to get on, but be VERY tight. After even an hour worth of wear they loosened up, this is expected. So don't get to freaked out. Overall they're very cute, I've been wearing them outside in the snowy weather, and haven't had a problem. I sprayed them with waterproof stuff before hand. Overall great shoe, comfy and great as slippers or to wear outside.
These Shoes(:
Okay, so I am a highschooler, and I have had these shoes for two years. Let me just say, I am wearing them until they die. Describing how tough I am on shoes is like describing how well two year olds treat their things...not very well. My UGG slippers have been through it all, and yet, they have still survived. However, they look very worn in. The stitching is coming undone, my laces broke, the soles are ripping, the interior of the shoe looks depressing, the sheepskin lining is coming out and shedding. So, why would I give this shoe a perfect review? Because, as I mentioned earlier, I am tough on shoes. I wear them year round, through the snow, on the Megabus, etc. They have been everywhere I have for the past two years and continue to please me. Also, I didn't take the best care of them. It's obvious by how badly they are coming apart. I still happen to love them. They are just perfect for me. Plus, they are worth every penny.

Great everyday Slipper Love Them!
Love these shoes. I'm on my 4th pair. I say they are true to size but you must break them in and let them stretch. I love these shoes as I have nerve damage in my feet and these do not bother my feet like other shoes do. I wear these around the house and out shopping etc. I'm on my 4th pair only because i wanted different colors. The only problem is that the lace does come untied but if you get someone strong to pull them tight they stay longer. Love these shoes, can't say enough good about the comfort and quality. I work at dog rescue and i have my oldest pair for my puppy pen and they have held up great and still going strong. They are very comfortable and keep my feet warm without being hot. Always easy to slip on and go and very stylish. I love the different colors. Great for running the dogs out also, because the souls are very durable. Highly recommend for comfort, warmth and durability.

LOVE these shoes
I wear these with skirts, shorts, and skinny jeans. I wear them around the house but I bought them for outdoor shoes. These are so so so cute, especially in that Bleached Aqua which is what I have but i love them so much I might buy a few more colors. A lot of people said they are wearing them during the winter but I dont think that would be best because they wouldnt keep the snow out of the shoe so I am going to wear them in the late spring, summer and early fall. They are super soft and comfy, and I have had no problem with the string coming undone but if you do you could always glue it in place or hand sew a stitch through the tie. :] Oh and also Buy true to your size because they are supposed to fit snug when you first get them but the fur will get less fluffy and they will loosen. If you are in between sizes try the next size down.
