The "fur" in the slipper feels very similar to the stuffing inside a stuffed animal.  Very coarse and comes apart easily.  The sole does not bend when you walk, and they are very slippery on smooth surfaces (i.e. harwood floors, tile floors) it feels like you are walking on planks of wood.  I bought two pairs for my mother and mother-in-law for xmas and couldn't even give it to them as gifts.  I should have listened to the previous bad reviews before purchasing.  Lesson definitely learned!
