L.B. Evans Men's Aristocrat Opera,Brown Leather,13 EEE
Loafer ShoesYou don't have to be an Aristocrat to lounge in luxury--all you need is this opera slipper from L.B. Evans. It's full-grain leather construction features leather linings and a soft leather outsole. The full-length cushioned insole delivers soft, lasting comfort. In 1804, T. & A. Evans (Thomas and Amos) were running a small shoe business connected with a general store in the town of South Reading. There was no shoe factory as we know it today, just a small shop where Thomas and Amos cut the leather for their shoes. The actual shoe making was farmed out among the people of the town, while Thomas and Amos supplied them with uppers, soles, counters and heels to be assembled into shoes. All shoes were sewed by hand whenever the shoemaker-farmers could spare the time. Today L.B. Evans is owned and operated as a division of Daniel Green Enterprises. Many of the traditional gentleman's slipper styles are still part of the line, but the business has grown to include new updated classics, premium products including elk and deer, and an array or rugged, warm outdoor styles. Daniel Green Enterprises remains committed to the quality and comfort guarantee that the Evans brothers established over 200 years ago.

Well made and comfortable
Love these slippers. They are a bit tight but I think that is because they are leather and need to be broke in.I have worn my old ones so much that the heels are worn out. I would recommend the purchase of these slippers if you want to feel like you are on cloud 9. Thank you for a fast delivery.
The quality of leather is great and I don't have to worry about the fit. They are true to size.
Finally have slippers that fit, but may have to wear socks with them to keep feet from sweating, other than that they're nice!!!!
This is my second pair of these slippers. The first pair, which I wore in the house everyday, made an AWESOME chew toy for my "puppies" (they're 6 months old and already 42 lbs.). I made the mistake of putting them on the back of the sofa, and went to bed forgetting I had left them there. In the morning I found them shredded on the living room floor. Now, a word to the quality of these slippers; though the insides were torn out and decimated, the outer leathers were fully intact!! Let's call this "accelerated life testing"; if they stood up to this kind of abuse, I'm sure they would last many years. I love them (slippers and dogs) so I'm ordering a second pair. BTW, yes, they run small and a bit narrow, but they are all leather and will spread a bit to fit comfortably. Once you get the size right, you will love these slippers. Also, I saw the review about the leather dye coming off; this is unfortunate for that buyer, but I've worn mine outside after a rain fetching the mail and have not had any issues like this.EDIT: Be very, VERY careful who you "order" these from; the first pair I ordered was fulfilled by "Brookstone". They were too big so I'm sending them back. I ordered a second pair a half-size smaller and they are being fulfilled by Amazon directly. Let me tell you, the return policy for Brookstone is MUCH DIFFERENT than the one from Amazon and NOT for the positive. Had I realized this while ordering I would not have ordered from Brookstone. Buyer beware...
Great slippers for indoor wear only. Butter soft leather.
These slippers are not correctly sized as advertised. They are CLEARLY TOO small! There is an obvious lack of quality control in the locations where they are manufactured!
Well made product, my husband likes it!
