I'd been looking for a slipper with enough warmth for all-season wear, but also one that could breathe and not make my feet sweat during the warmer months. Having spent time on the Big Island in Pahala, where the winter mornings are chilly, going barefoot on hardwood floors was not always ideal. Neither was wearing a heavy, wool-lined slipper after the noonday sun warms things up. These would have been perfect back then. I was also after a shoe-like style that was both attractive and comfortable. The Moloā Hulu ticks off every box, and I cannot tell you how many times I've walked out the front door not realizing I had my slippers on--they are THAT comfortable. I often forget I'm wearing any shoes at all. Heh. I also appreciate the flexibility of the drop-down heel when I'm on the go. Mahalo for the stylish look and all of the utility I was hoping for. Aloha!
