These slipper boots were originally designed to keep New England prep school and college students’ feet warm in those drafty old dorms. The new improved version has all the elements of the original style, but we added some modern updates as well. Our Dorm Boots are made of handsewn twinface sheepskin with a soft leather collar and backing. A leather pull tab helps with easy on and off. In case you step outside on a slippery stoop or navigate slick tile floors, we recently incorporated durable but lightweight Vibram® Aircalla outsoles. They’re nub-textured, air-injected rubber that absorbs shock and offers great traction underfoot.
