Generally I am that guy who is difficult to buy for.  I had been looking for slippers for weeks and ran into these on Amazon.  I waited for my size after about a month of checking and finally they came in.  These slippers are definitely worth the wait.  They are much nicer than I could have ever expected.  The rootbeer color is a very dark brown and the chestnut is not as yellow as it appeared to me on the pictures.  Anyway I couldn't be happier with this purchase.  Stop looking.  Buy these.
