Review! Comfy Slippers OluKai Nohea and Sorel Nakishka Slipper II

 

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend! I'm currently waiting for my Lululemon order to arrive. They're due to arrive today. I hope to have a fit review up for Friday. Back in March when I started working from home full time, I bought myself a new pair of Ugg slippers. My old pair lasted about 4 years and it was finally time to put it in the trash. I was so disappointed that my new pair of slippers only lasted 7 months!! Granted I wear them 12 hours a day but I would still expect them to last longer than that. They felt hard as rocks to walk in, and started to actually hurt my feet and all the shearling started to come off, which made me wonder if it was actually fake shearling. I am sad to say that Ugg's quality has really gone down the drain and I cannot recommend them anymore. It was time to search for other brand of slippers. 

For reference I normally wear a size 5 or 5.5 in shoes. I purchased size 5 in slippers.





I'm sure you noticed I also purchased two pairs for my husband too. We have the same pair of OluKai Moloa slippers. The other pair he has is the Sorel Manawan. He was the one to suggest he have a summer pair and a winter pair. I said "You're so fancy, you're more fancy than me." But then I wanted to be just as fancy so I got myself a summer pair too. 😆 I was originally happy with my one pair of Sorels. I actually think the OluKai Moloa slippers are nice enough to even wear outside but they will remain fancy house slippers.


The reason the OluKai's are for summer is that they're super soft but they're not lined with plushy faux shearling like the Sorel's. It's more of a thin lining of shearling. The outside is super soft suede. The footbed is removable and made of merino wool. The one thing that totally won me over was how soft and comfortable they felt on my feet. I am very excited about these. I actually can't wait for spring/summer so I can make the switch. There is very minimal arch support in case anyone was wondering. For the most part, I don't find many slippers to have good arch support. 



The sole is made of gum rubber.



The Sorel Nakishka Slipper is definitely a winter slipper. It's got super thick plushy shearling all around the inside of the slipper. It will keep your feet toasty warm. I don't know about you but my feet are always cold. You'll never find me walking around barefoot. The Sorel's are made of suede but the trim is faux fur, but they are still very warm. They're fairly easy to slip into although not as easy as a slide. I like the heel coverage for colder months. My old Uggs were slides and the back of my foot was always chilly, sometimes I had to throw on socks! These remedy that.



The bottom is textured rubber. It feels gummy but offers excellent traction.



His and hers. Flash approves!


I hope these last longer than 8 months. I'll update you all if they don't! But for now I'm very happy with them. That's it for me. Hope you all have a fantastic week!

  1. Those slippers look so comfy and cozy and cute!! I often just walk around barefoot or use fuzzy socks here in winter but it also doesn't get very cold.

  2. Agree with you about the lack of quality in Uggs these days. I tried a pair of Sorel slippers a couple of years ago but didn’t like how I couldn’t just slide my feet into them. I actually have a pair of Skechers slippers with a hard, rubber sole that are faux-fur lined that I’ve worn for three years now that I like better than my Ugg slippers! Half the price, too.

    1. I think Target slippers are more durable than Uggs at this point! I had a pair I wore for a couple of years that weren't bad and they were $16... I wonder if Target still makes them.

  3. Are they loud on hardwood floor?

    1. Hi, they are very quiet - the bottoms are rubber.

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

Fit Review Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5. Definitely size down. I've partnered up with Allbirds! Super excited to share my  personal link . Click on  my link  for a 15% off.
