The faux fur is very soft and a pretty color. Feels good to know that the clamp is tight enough and secure and not worry about crushing your bike. It was easy to put together, and looks great! I use them exclusively for running, but still find that the sound quality is great. Love these shoes so many compliments. It doesn?t slip off my feet or anything & I do enjoy wearing these around my yard or when I have to walk the dog. I had bought slippers that style many years ago in DSW when I was able to get around and they were comfy. I?m a size seven so I ordered an eight and I think I would really need a ten! I would hope so. These shoes are very comfortable and styrdy.
