I didn't find any indication in the description or in questions about boots that I could get slip-ons or laces. The description lists both options and since the picture showed lace-up shoes I figured I'd get them. It's not like this. I don't hate slip ons but this wasn't what I wanted and I didn't think I would get it. However, I needed the shoes for work and didn't have time to send them back and wait for a replacement so I stuck with them. Slippers don't have as much profile and aren't as comfortable with heels as lace-ups. just like the product itself.
