I ordered these in the black color and went one whole size up from my usual shoe size. In terms of length, the fit is perfect. Width-wise, the shoes are snug on my narrow feet. I don't mind because it keeps my feet warm, but I could see the narrowness being uncomfortable for someone with wider feet. Even though they are maybe meant to be slippers, I wear them out to run errands all the time, and they've held up well.

I'm so glad I read the reviews, that read that they ran small. I ordered a size up and the fit was fine. Had I ordered my normal size they would had been returned, for being too small.
Cute shoe, in black color. I like them very much. I want to thank zappos for their next day deliver.

These are very cute and warm. They run really small. I usually wear a 10, I got an 11 based off of other reviews. It's still a little tight but it's more width wise so I'm hoping it just needs some breaking in. 11 1/2 would've been perfect, a 12 probably would've been a little too big. Overall I'm happy with them.

These traction slippers are basically for camping, backpacking, and in and out of cabins in cold weather that flipflops and crocs can't handle. Light weight, warm, easy, quick dry, and non slippery are important.
The female traction thermoball slippers do have all these elements. I got a pair in size 7. The tweed print hides dirt and dark teal color felt lining is nice and comfortable.
The negatives are sizing and width. Size 7 barely has enough room for bare feet (I normally wear size 6). If your feet is slightly wider or thick, you need 2 sizes up. The tongue has elastic band that provides some give in width. However, it also means the foot is more exposed to element when there are gaps. North Face needs to redesign these slippers. Right now, only those with thin and slender feet may fit these slippers.
Also, I wish there's a pull loop in the back of the heel. A loop makes it easier to put the slipper on and to carry (clip to the backpack on a biner).

I wear an 8 shoe and ordered the 9; too small.
I reordered the 10. They fit but do have quite
a bit of extra room in the length but I can live
with that. They are super comfortable and warm.
They are pretty easy to get on, and if I have to
run outside or to the grocery store, they work
for that. The insides have a smooth fabric.
No issues of feathers flying out so far. Great
slippers/shoes.

They're cute but run very small. I normally wear a 10 but not sure if even an 11 will fit.

I'm a 6.5 Narrow and had to order these in an 8. The length fit well but still VERY tight in width. These are very different from the men's version that my BF owns. Compared to the men's, they're Not as warm all around and MUCH less cushion (no foam) in foot insert. I'm ordering a Men's 7 to see how that works.

I so wanted these to fit, but just like the others said they're so narrow! I wear a 6.5 normally, so I bought a 7 and they're just really uncomfortable. If that's not bad enough, there's a rough tag on the inside that rubs your ankle! Who designed these?! Very disappointed because they're adorable and I loved my previous pair of North Face camp booties.

These would be awesome if they weren't TINY! I ordered the 11 and they are most certainly no size 11... possibly a size and a half smaller than that. They're also quite narrow, and I do not have wide feet.
