Seeking warm slip-on boots for 14W feet
November 14, 2019 12:08 PM Subscribe
My spouse has asked for warm boots he can slip on without tying for short trips between the house and garage, in our snowy climate.
He needs a true 14 wide. Right now he uses Bean Boots for this purpose but they are not lined and he wants to slip them over bare feet. My suggestion of sherpa insoles was rejected, he wants warmth that wraps up and around his feet. Any suggestions for us?

I mean, this is basically exactly what Ugg boots are.
I know they're associated with, like, the Kardashians and such, but they are warm and comfortable and slip-on and come in men's 14. They only have one width, but they're rather wide and also on the unstructured side, so they may work for him.

What about this sort of "camp bootie" or something like it? I've seen them around, but never tried them. They appear as though they'd be comfortable for a wide foot given the general lack of structure, and also appear as though they'd be nice with bare feet.
(They come in S-XL sizes which might not work, but I just wanted to show the concept more than this particular model.)

What about Muck Boots? They sell insulated versions. Might be overkill but you can certainly just slip them on.

I’m a 6’3” dude who wears either 13’s or 14’s depending on the brand, but my wife got my some black Ugg boots and they are great.
They are actually too warm all but a a few days a year here in Southern California, but I can’t think of anything better when I just need to pop on something and go walk the dogs when it’s really cold outside.

I have a studio in my garage and so have a lot of experience with "yard boots" since I also live in MN. Acorn boots that look like Uggs have turned out the best. I also wear Crocs when the snow isn't deep. I've tried the "slouch boot/slippers" and some Woolrich booties and nothing works as well as the sheepskin ugg-like boots.

And when I say "works," what I really mean is: "Easy to slip on and off without sitting down."
