#Cleaning ll bean slippers mods

I've had my first pair since 2014 and they're still good (kept those at home for holidays, didn't wear them on campus). I used to be hell on my slippers, I'd wear them to/from class in college and the soles would be shot after 2 years. I've had pairs of the LL Bean wicked good moc (the one with the rubber sole) for years, they definitely have gone down in quality but I still think they're a decent investment.

TL DR if you're looking for a indoor/outdoor durable slipper the LL Bean ones are a good choice IMO, but I'm going to get a pair of Glerups this year and spice things up. I'd appreciate especially your experience with LL Bean mocs in the last year or so, but also slipper recommendations in general. Do I try Uggs? I've read that Glerups are awesome, but I'm so partial to the moccasin design. I was intending to try LL Bean 'camp moccasins' next, but read that they too have diminished. So I've returned them, and am now at square one again. The quality also admittedly seemed different. My toes were crammed yet the back was insanely wide and my foot would not stay in the shoe? Just awkward fit. I have never had a shoe fit more weirdly. Is this true? I ordered a new pair of Minnetonka moccasins (rubber sole since they don't make the leather sole anymore) and knew immediately they weren't the same. However, as I'm researching, I'm learning that (apparently?) so many slipper brands have decreased significantly in quality, including Minnetonka and LL Bean. (I might still hang on to the ol' pair tho for backups!) Truthfully I could continue wearing them for my main slipper, but I kind of just want a better looking pair, a fresh start. I wore them daily up to this day, and except for a more worn look, and a section of one of the rawhide laces breaking off, they are still perfect. For background, I received a pair of women's sheepskin lined/leather soled Minnetonka moccasins for Christmas 2016. Hi BIFLers, I'm discouraged in the hunt for quality house shoes/slippers.

After years of using wool from a small flock of sheep in Denmark to make shoes-by hand or with a carding machine-for family and friends, in 2005 Glerups founders Nanny and Ove expanded production to a factory in Romania. I’m obsessed with the Glerups origin story. These slippers have a one-year warranty, and they come with simple care instructions to prolong the life of the wool (wool is self-cleaning, so it shouldn’t get too gross over time). When I make purchases these days, I want to buy something for life. But, really, why bother? The Glerups are too good. Over the years I’ve tried other slippers, including a pair of shapeless, floppy Muji slippers (from a friend) and a set of budget-bin IKEA slippers with coarse-feeling terry cloth and thin soles (I couldn’t resist them in the checkout line). I can wipe the soles down afterward if I need to. If I have to duck outside for a package, the Glerups will take me there. The notched rubber sole gives me a little tread for walking on smooth floors or for brief outdoor jaunts.
