President James K. Polk, often overlooked yet ever-consequential, comes to life in this "compelling, perceptive portrait" (The Wall Street Journal) biography of the 11th President of the United States, Andrew Jackson prot g , and champion of "manifest destiny."

In a one-term presidency, James K. Polk completed the story of America's Manifest Destiny--extending its territory across the continent by threatening England with war and manufacturing a controversial and unpopular two-year war with Mexico. A crucial architect of modern America, James K. Polk deserves to be elevated out of the mists of history (Jon Meacham, author of American Lion).

Not durable, cheaply made for big guys 6’4 235lbs
Color: Gray Navy, Size: 13-16, Color: Gray Navy, Size: 13-16
Don’t recommend for men. Boys maybe but not men. I wore them twice for about 3 hrs before bed. Went to put in the 3rd time and they ripped. It’s literally a small sheet of Sherpa from the shoe and plastic wrap. I also got the bigger size and they still don’t fit right. I bought these right before my trip upstate during the holidays, because I live in Florida. I paid $20+ for these, hoping they would be good. 1/10 recommend

Size 13 (not 13-16)
Color: Gray Navy, Size: 13-16
I have a size 13 foot and these Winter Socks/Slippers just barely cover the length of my foot, so if you are over size 13 these will be too small_ they are well made and insulated_ they look nice, just like the pic, and I can go from my house to the my car in the snow without the bottoms getting wet_ they are cozy without my feet getting hot_ just wish they were a half inch longer on the foot size to be a more perfect size 13_ they feel about 12-1/2

Awesome but loses shape
Color: Long Black, Size: 10-13
This is comfy and keeps my feet warm but definitely doesn't hold shape good to wear indoors but don't think about walking long distances.
