My husband and I remember our grandfathers wearing slippers like these. A few years ago he asked for some for Christmas, but I was unable to find them locally. A year or so later I found them online but they were sold out, and now I know why - it seems there is only one company still making them! This past Christmas I ordered early, the slippers arrived in a matter of days and were well packed (the shoe box was inside a shipping box)and the slippers were exactly as described. They are well made and according to my husband, extremely comfortable, it helps that they are available in wide width.  I should note that they fit a bit snugly (though not uncomfortably so) the first few wearings, but after a few days the leather conformed nicely to my husband's foot and he absolutely loves them.
