I like my new slippers very much. They are very comfortable. I look forward to having them for a long time.  About six months ago I bought a pair of slippers with the label of Florsheim on them with the same expectation of long life for them.  As you would expect the slippers with NO soles did not last.  The Florsheim logo apparently no longer stands for quality.  My new slippers quality looks one-hundred percent better then the previous Florsheim pair.  Thank you, Tamarac.
