Is the Noreen a true slip-on?

Yes. It is backless with no heel counter, so you step in and out without laces or straps to fasten.

How does it compare with a leather loafer?

It is more casual and easier to slide on, and the rubber lug sole grips better. A loafer holds the heel more securely.

It uses an OrthoLite footbed, a foam cushioning layer Timberland fits across its footwear for underfoot comfort.

The rubber lug outsole handles damp pavement, but the leather upper and backless fit are not made for heavy rain or puddles.

ReBOTL fabric, which Timberland makes partly from recycled plastic bottles.

Timberland women's footwear generally runs true to size; with a backless mule, a snug fit helps keep the foot from sliding.
