This is my second pair of these wonderful slippers. The first pair was given to me by my son for Christmas and I just love them. They lasted two years with constant use. I wear them around the house constantly. Just pop them in the washer (cold water) and air dry them. Wearing socks helps from having to wash them all the time. They keep my feet warmer than wearing socks alone around the house. I will probably get another pair so I'll have something to wear when the other ones are drying. Love them!
