I got tired of hearing my friend complain about not having slippers for walking the dog and around the house walking around - so I started looking around. At first I was looking for well known branded slippers for a lot more money but after reading the reviews about them I thought they would work really well. And I was right! He loves them and recently (6 months later) told me that this is his favorite gift I've ever given him (I've given him some lovely gifts too, so that's saying a lot). I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality hard soled moccasins for outdoor leisure activities.
