We don't wear outdoor shoes in the house so our slippers are really house shoes. I like Haflinger slippers because htey are well made and quite cozy. My previous slipper were the all wool standard Halflingers. They are nice and warm but they stretch out over a fairly short time. I attribute this to how much I wear them. Washing them shrinks them back but they quickly stretch out again. Eventually they kind of blow out in the toe, I am hoping the leather toe cap will prevent the Alicia Earth from experiencing the  blow out problem, I have been only wearing them a few weeks and they have stretched a bit already.. They are true to size so buying them a bit small at the start is a good idea.
