This is a replacement for another pair that was chewed up by a visiting puppy. Unfortunately, the seams are coming apart on both slippers in less than a year. Disappointing. I really needed the support when I had plantar fascitis and my first pair serve me well. I think the quality is going down hill though and with only a 6 month warranty, I don't know if I will continue to purchase Haflingers. Sad, because it use to be such great quality!
