A warm, lifted platform slipper for buyers with a normal-to-narrow foot who can live with a loose, open back. Retailer sentiment is strongly positive overall, but heel lift and a narrow cut keep recurring and the fit is split rather than a clean size-up. Decide your size around sock thickness, not length alone.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Whole sizes only. About 63% of Zappos reviewers rate it true to size, while a large minority find it short or tight in the toe box. The suede and wool-blend upper loosens with wear, so a snug first try-on often settles; several buyers who sized up ended up with too much heel slip.
Buy if
You want a warm, cushioned platform slipper and accept an open back that lets the heel lift, and your foot is normal to narrow. Half-size buyers should start with the smaller whole size, since the suede and wool-blend upper loosens with wear.
Skip if
You have a wide foot or high instep, or you need a slipper that stays put on stairs and quick errands. If you want a platform that feels broken-in from the first step, buyers report this one can feel stiff.

Buying FAQ
Feedback splits rather than settling. About 63% of Zappos reviewers rated it true to size, while a large minority reported it running short or tight through the toe box.
Only if you plan to wear thick socks. Because the suede and wool-blend upper loosens noticeably, several buyers who sized up ended up with a slipper that slipped.
That is the open-back design with a padded heel lip, which lets the heel lift with each step. Reviewers describe it as a flip-flop flap that appears in any size.
It is a 1.75-inch sugarcane-EVA platform. Some buyers find it stiff and awkward, while others call the pair comfortable out of the box.
Mixed. Some buyers say the shade looks better in person, while others report a pair reading grayer or more muted than the product images suggested.
Tazz-family reports describe the foam scuffing and chunking, the toe bumper starting to lift within weeks, and the interior pile flattening or shedding around the collar.
Evidence
Color accuracy on the Tazz II is hit and miss in buyer photos-versus-listing comparisons: some say the shade (e.g. pink diamond) looks better in person, while others report a pair reading grayer or more muted than the product images suggested.
SourceLine-level evidence (Tazz family, same sugarcane-EVA platform build as the Tazz II): the foam platform scuffs and chunks easily, the rubber/foam toe bumper can start lifting within weeks, and the interior pile flattens or sheds around the collar — buyers call it the weak point for the price.
SourceThe low, open back with a padded heel lip is the most consistent complaint on the Tazz II: the heel lifts with each step and the slipper can flap or slide off like a flip-flop, and this happens regardless of the size chosen.
SourceThe 1.75-inch platform makes the Tazz II stiff and awkward to walk in for some buyers; a minority report the pair never broke in and only got looser over time, while others find it comfortable out of the box.
SourceAggregate buyer sentiment on the Tazz II is strongly positive at large retailers — one listing shows 4.5/5 from roughly 479 reviewers with 85% saying they would recommend it, with repeated praise for comfort, warmth and the platform look.
SourceFit feedback on the Tazz II is genuinely split rather than a clear "size up" or "true to size" — 63% of Zappos reviewers rated it true to size, while a large minority report it running short or tight, especially through the toe box.
SourceThe Tazz II comes in whole sizes only, so buyers at a half size have to choose deliberately: going up gives toe room but more heel slip, staying down gives a snug fit that loosens with wear — reviews advise deciding based on whether you plan to wear thick socks.
SourceThe Tazz II is cut narrow across the foot and instep, so wide-footed buyers report snugness side-to-side even when the length is right, and a high instep can press on the top of the foot.
