The insole is removable and fully washable. It comes out fairly easily if you''re trying to get it out, but the insides of the slippers are fluffy enough that it stays put otherwise.
They might not be the most stylish slippers... but who cares?When I bought the shoes, I had little knowledge of the brand. My coworker wore a pair of her Old Friends to work, and that''s how I first came in contact with them. Her''s were well-worn and well-loved. She said she couldn''t get rid of them because they were so comfortable. Even with a ripped sole, mashed-down sheepskin interior and a filthy exterior, I knew I''d love them, too.
So I got on Amazon and checked the reviews. There were only 2. One gave it 5 stars, one gave it 1 star. Didn''t bother looking at the good review (it''s good...that''s all I needed to know). Instead, I read the one-star review. Ordered them anyway.
Just got them this morning in the mail, and I''ve just slipped my feet into them. What I can say is this: The person who gave these amazing shoes 1 star must have ridiculously fat feet. They feel like heaven.
I''ve been looking for a shoe that''s comparable to an Ugg (But without the ridiculously overpriced price tag). These are all-that and more (a little homely looking, but definitely worth overlooking once your toes come in contact with the genuine sheepskin lining).
I got the hard outsole so I could "accidentally" wear them to work when I left the house without changing my shoes in the morning. I love the sheepskin lining, I love the removable insole, and I love the fact that the insole is padded. It''s like walking on little puffs of heaven.
No really. It is.
So far my feet haven''t overheated. If I had to come up with a complaint... it''d be that I''d want them to be a little more stylish. And to have a *slightly* roomier toe box. It''s a bit narrow, and I DO have skinny feet. Either way, very happy about my purchase and thinking of giving everyone a pair for their birthday/holiday/whatever present.
Please buy them! You''ll love them!

UPDATE:So, I have been wearing these slippers almost daily for the last four months, without socks. The slippers are still comfortable, but the arch support has collapsed a bit, which I imagine is normal. Also, unfortunately, the slippers are becoming too smelly to wear! I don''t know if this is because I''ve been wearing them without socks, or because they are closed slippers (not slip-ons), or some other reason. But it is troublesome, and I am considering some open slippers.
----------------------------------------
Ok. I spent a RIDICULOUS amount of time researching sheepskin slippers. Ridiculous. I knew I wanted moccasin-style real sheepskin slippers, preferably with some arch support, and with a sole that wasn''t just a hard layer of rubber. After returning one pair of Smart Dogs, and nearly purchasing a pair of the really expensive ones, I got these today. And... I love them! They are exactly the old-man ugly slippers I was looking for.
One consideration: Several of the reviewers commented on the sizing, that they run rather large. I think this is true-I am a pretty regular size 8, I ordered the size 8, and they were big right out of the box, slipping off the heel. So, if you have a bit of patience and are willing to take the time to stretch them out, then ordering a size down is probably the way to go. Or, as I did, you can tie the laces tighter to accommodate for the larger sizing. It''s really just a matter of preference.

I highly recommend these slippers. They will be one of those items I''ll wear until they are all worn out. An added bonus... I have cracked and extremely dry feet, especially this winter. To my surprise, after wearing the slippers for only 2 weeks, my feet are all soft again and the cracks are about 90% gone. Hope they keep making these.I love everything about this slipper, I order them every year for both myself & my son. The are very well constructed and have great arch support-I love the cushy insole they added last year-it feels snug at first but quickly conforms to your foot. I solved the problem of the removeable (great for washing) insole slipping out with a piece of 2 sided tape on the bottom-works great! I especially love the way I can go outside in our rainy Northern California winters and not get wet shoes or slip (they have great non skid bottoms)! I have tried other well known brands but never got the quality I find in Old Friend-they are truly my favorites!
