Had a pair of slippers for well over a year, very comnfortable and easy to slip on and they were very well used, around the house and in the yard. Long term, the stitching and the leather is as good as the day i bought them. The sole and the foot insert wore out before the actual slipper. I replaced the insert after a year. I would recommend buying the wool insert on first purchase. Just bought a pair of Porter sneakers, with a thicker sole ( looks much more durable) and additional wool insert. l Look forward to have these for a lot longer. Overall very pleased with the footware.
