What could change about the Puffs? Well, the price point is higher than my frugal self likes. But they’re way more affordable than other slippers I’ve worn — mainly Haflingers and UGGs — and they have a more complete application. So I might be wrong there.

Chaco Ramble Puffs Might Be the Best Outdoor Slippers Review: Chaco Ramble Puffs Might Be the Best Outdoor Slippers

Easily walk on hardwood, carpet, or pavement comfortably and safely with our favorite clog we tested, the Brendan Clog from Dearfoams. The rubber sole ensures you can wear these both indoors and outdoors, while the plush lining keeps your feet at the perfect temperature all day long. Over time, we found that the slippers keep their shape even with daily wear, adding to the durability of this option, which comes at a very approachable price point. Here’s the defining trait of the Ramble family: they ramble. In other words, they’re outdoors-capable. The EVR outsole on each version remains the same. Unlike most slippers, this sole wraps up the side of the shoes and has an extra suede-like bumper layer of protection sewn into the ripstop nylon or fleece. If I had one wish, it would be for a taller, pull-on version of the Ramble Puff, similar to a short boot. The mid-ankle height of the Puff does allow for a bit of debris to enter when mildly cavorting about the outdoors. On top of the performance, my feet stayed warm. I can’t sleep if I have cold feet; it’s a lifelong issue. And I was a bit worried about the cool nights. The Ramble Puffs performed at every level. My feet stayed warm and protected. And I didn’t need to worry about the integrity of the slippers. Oops: I Wore Them to TownI’ll add that my entire family has made it clear that they’re expecting them for Christmas. I guess my list is made. Boy howdy. The Chaco Ramble Puff arrived on my doorstep just in time for a 44-mile float down the Gates of Lodore on the Green River. They’re wildly light — airy almost — and they smashed down just fine in my dry bag. I see this as being a ubiquitous piece for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors, be it river guides, outdoors enthusiasts, hunters, or just anyone who wants a durable slipper. Final Thoughts on the Ramble Family They’ve even survived a few steals from the muddy-nosed Bob the Boykin puppy. (Photo/Nicole Qualtieri) We love the minimalistic and stylish design that doesn't get overly dirty in the dark gray color, but they are also available in many other attractive colors including neutrals and brighter greens and reds. The wool doesn't feel itchy or uncomfortable and there's plenty of room in the toe area, so they're suitable for wide feet as well. The unisex sizing ensures that everyone can enjoy the comfort and style of these slippers. These were the gear hit of the trip. As the nights cooled and we switched from sandals to shoes, I donned the Puffs, and my tripmates were smitten. I was worried I’d ruin them in wet and sandy conditions, but hey. This is gear testing. And I aim to please.

Honestly, I’ve had so many folks ask me what they were, between the river, the cabin, and a recent archery elk camp. I’ve taken them off to hand them to folks multiple times to point out the cozy interior, the unbelievable lightness, and the sturdiness of this slipper. My experience with high-pile fleece tells me that the quilted version is likely the most durable, easy to care for, and long-lasting. But man, the Ramble Fluff is cute. I love that all options are available for any gender. And the colors are fun and on-trend. The fleece interior buffers your feet with Chaco’s proprietary LUVSEAT footbed for support. And each design makes for a one-handed, easy-on, easy-off practical application. The Chaco Ramble Puff in First-Look River Action The Chaco Ramble Puff as part of my river kit. With a hardcore Chaco Z tan to boot. (Photo/Nicole Qualtieri)
