The slippers are well made and comfortable BUT the shoe laces will not stay tied. I wear the slippers all day when I am home and the laces become untied at least every hour -- which means I have to almost constantly retie, otherwise I run-the-risk of stepping on the untied lace and falling.

I've written the manufacturer about this and this was their reply:

"I'm sorry to hear that you are having an issue with the laces, this is a common issue with leather laces and can definitely be frustrating at times. Eventually the leather will soften over time and should start to hold stronger. Some people tie the desired knot and glue it to hold it in place."

I've now had these slippers many months and the problem has not gone away, I still have to retie the shoes frequently. Seems to me if the manufacturer knew of this problem, which they actually say they did, they would have used some other style of shoelace that stay tied.

At this point, I'm ready to throw the slippers in the trash, they are worthless unless they stay tied and secured on your feet.
