LL Bean has disappointed me again

[matildalucet]

I don't know sometimes why I still look at their stuff. Maybe because once every couple of years I find something that works for me. Today's LL Bean disappointment: slippers. The womens are too big and the kids have suede bottoms and I'm not doing leather right now. Ah, well, I should have known better than to look at them for shoes anyway, never

What features are you looking for beside no leather? Your feet are a little narrower than mine, yes?

I'm not sure I want slippers at all. I want to be insulated from the floor, to move my toes, and ideally be able to use most of my foot muscles and not end up with sweaty feet. My feet don't sweat much in the china flats; they sweat more than I like in my Merrell clogs. Socks are not enough, at least in the kitchen.

We can compare feet when you're over here, if you like. And my solution might well be to actually give Zappos a try if they have veg-friendly birks. My late, lamented Birkenstocks got me through a lot. :-)

I was going to suggest Birks (and yes, there are synthetic material ones). I wear mine around the house, and add socks of varying weights if I'm cold.
