The bow came undone, so I tried to tie it again and the leather string broke at the heel and pulled out of the channel. They were still an okay fit so I wore them around the house for a day. They quickly developed a very uncomfortable slide to the side, it's hard to put into words, but my foot was sliding off to the side within the shoe in a way that put my foot directly over a seam. It hurt. Honestly, bedroom slippers that hurt? I threw them away. I'm paying for quality next time. Land's End.
