Feathered Friends Down Booties were designed to offer the versatility of an extremely warm, insulated sock with a weather resistant shell that made ventures outside the tent possible without having to put your boots back on. The combination can be worn around camp and when it's time to climb in your bag, leave the dirt behind and slide in with the warmest pair of socks you can find. Our booties were built for warmth, not a marathon, so please use them responsibly.

Coziest thing I own
I just went camping in the north Cascades, and these kept me so warm. It is literally the warmest I’ve ever been out camping and probably because my feet were kept super cozy. I highly recommend these to anyone!
Feathered slippers
Difficult to walk in
Inner Down Socks Work Great
As others have suggested the bottom fabric of the outer shell seems a little thinner than would be ideal. Mainly I used these as down socks inside my sleeping bag to keep my feet warm and left the outer shells behind- a job they do well. I may look into fortifying the bottoms of the shells somehow to add more protection and durability for possible winter use.
Bought in 2008: best house slippers, not for camp/climbing/denali/AK/taking the trash out or anything outdoors.
TLDR: Buy them, but have some common sense. These are slippers that can barely climb stairs and will put you on your butt taking out the trash. I bought mine in the fall 2008 for my first trip up Denali in the spring of 09. I brought them on multiple winter trips up Rainier leading up to my AK trip, and they were terrible. I still brought them to AK, and they were still terrible. The down sock is heavenly on your feet, so plush and warm; but the moment you step onto a glacier it compresses and you just have a 3/8" piece of foam insulating your foot and your feet are instantly frigid. They become a legitimate liability in the snow, or on any uneven terrain, as your foot slides freely in the inner down sock, which slides freely in the outer shell, which has no traction what-so-ever and slides freely on all snow. Literal lubricant. The liability comment is no joke - climb Denali, and try to wear these in camp, just make sure you say a prayer for the ligaments in your knees before hand. These are are not "camp booties". These have no business being in the outdoors, or in any camp, ever. DO NOT BUY THEM FOR THIS PURPOSE. ...instead, absolutely buy them as house slippers. On flat earth, they are in a league of their own. I cannot recommend these slippers more strongly, for the intended purpose of being used as slippers. After my 08/09 season on Denali, I have done many, many more climbing and skiing trips to AK, the AK range, the Wrangle St. Elias, and many more trips in Canada as well - these slippers were left at home for every single trip because they **** as camp booties. After each of those trips, these slippers tenderly and lovingly nursed my hamburgered-feet back to perfect health. I love these slippers. Bliss.
I wasn't impressed
I bought these for an climbing trip to Alaska. Feathered friends is my go to in harsh conditions, no questions asked. These did NOT meet my expectations. The bottoms had insufficient insulation between the bottom of the foot and the snow. This made for suprisingly cold feet. The suprising part was that the bottoms of these have no grip to speek of, so when you are walking on packed down snow (around base camp) or any snow that has had a thaw freeze cycle in the sun, it is very slippery. I found it very hard to walk at times because of the lack of grip and sliding. Go with a bootie that has more padding on the bottom and a better grip.
