I really wanted to love this slipper. I was impressed with the history behind the slipper, i.e natural, breathable material, the ability to maintain both warmth in winter and coolness in summer, the fact it was manufactured by a family owned business for three generations and that the company that makes them are excellent stewards of the environment. Not to mention they look as inviting in person as they do in the photos. They look so soft and fluffy that I couldn't wait to slip my feet into them and sink into a sea of luxury. Especially after reading the stellar reviews and the fact that I do not consider myself to be hard to fit, I anticipated writing a similar review.

Unfortunately these slippers were so stiff and uncomfortable I couldn't get my feet out of them fast enough. I'm sure the customers who wrote stellar reviews are very sincere as they are well constructed and most likely will prove to be durable. However, in my humble opinion, a shoe, should be well constructed, supportive and comfortable, especially at this price point. At the end of a hard day of being active and on your feet, everyone wants a slipper so comfortable and so luxurious that you can't wait to slip them on. In this case, for me at least, looks were very deceiving and I returned these slippers.
