About this deal

I love these! I’ve been using them as slippers at home ever since I got them. The high breathability means that they don’t get all hot and sweaty at all. At the end of a long day on the hills I love to get my boots off and let my feet breathe. If I’m in the highlands I also like to use a bothy, especially if it has a fireplace. But I still want to be sans boots. Keen is known for their protective toe boxes, and even these slippers have better toe protection than most trail running shoes. This gives you the confidence to wear them more like shoes and take care of tasks around camp without taking them off. The uppers are nicely water-resistant which is a necessity if walking on wet grass outside your tent. MATERIAL: Durable downproof nylon outer shell fabric with DWR, Internal elastic heel strap, Adjustable elastic draw closure It is worth noting that Snugpak still manufacture in the UK. This does have an effect on the price, but you get the warm and fuzzy feeling of supporting a UK brand that was started by a bloke sewing stuff in his kitchen in his spare time. Opinion

In this guide to the best camping slippers and down booties, we share the warmest, most lightweight, and most comfortable slippers to wear inside a tent (or out). We look for things like waterproofing on the soles and grip, sizing, and the different types of camp slippers you need to know about. The main features to look for in tent slippers and booties are the insulation type, the sole durability, warmth, and waterproofing. This is how we prioritize the specifications of camping slippers: Insulation I am very happy with them. They take up very little space in my bag and work as advertised. They are a little dearer than some of the alternatives on offer, but they use tried and tested materials, and you get to support a British company and British jobs! The KEEN Howser 2 Outdoor Slippers fit more like a shoe than any others in this guide. They are a slim, nimble, and much tighter fit than anything I’m used to. Not in a bad way… They are extremely comfortable for my wide feet and not hard to take off, just not as easy to slide into as the Teva Reember Terrain Moccasins above. When I went looking there were a surprising number of these on offer. From dirt cheap down filled ones from China, to expensive arctic booties with Gore-Tex shells.Allyness 1-5: 5, This could easily be used as a bit of field gear, and gets extra ally points for not being one of the usual suspects brand-wise! The construction is, as you would hope given the cost, very good. The use of flat-felled seams really enhances the look of the booties, as well as adding strength to the seam.

There’s something extremely rewarding and comforting about slipping into a pair of Snugfeet at the end of a long day trudging through hills and mountains. Fully insulated to keep your feet toasty warm, the synthetic filling stands up well to getting wet so you can also use them outside your tent (when nature calls!). Snugfeet isn’t just for the die-hard intrepid trekkers and campers.I decided against down, despite the very attractive price. I’m not a fan of down. Firstly, and especially if you are buying from China, it is hard to be sure that it is ethically produced. I’m no hippy, but I do have somewhat of a conscience… Many camp slippers will have a reinforced fabric sole which is great for inside a tent or sleeping bag, but outside, these suffer when you step on even slightly damp ground. Rubber soles offer the best protection for camping slippers outside but also are the least practical and, frankly, unnecessary inside a tent. The rand or height that the sole reaches is also something to look for as the higher the protective sole fabric goes, the better waterproof protection you will have. Material Next is storage and performance. Any down filled item suffers from loss of loft on compression. The more you compress it, the more loft it loses over time. There is also the issue of what happens to it if/when it gets wet. Some camping slippers are better designed to be used outdoors than others, and the major contributing factor for this is the sole material. No matter how well-enforced, fabric soles will never work as well as rubber or PU soles. If your slippers are designed to be used outdoors, they will have a solid rubber sole with some kind of tread underneath for grip. If your slippers don’t have this, they are designed for your tent and not walking outside. Are Camping Slippers Waterproof?
