I was really looking forward to wearing the faux-fur cross-over slippers. They felt fabulously soft when I put them on, but right away, I felt the labels which had been sown into the upper sole of the slippers, in the fur, right where my bare foot wanted to snuggle. It was really uncomfortable. I thought about cutting the labels out but didn't in the end as I wasn't sure a) if it would work - sometimes stitching stays put & irritates, and b) if I could still return them having cut the labels out. Sadly, I'm returning them. IMHO it's a fundamental design fault, but I would definitely buy them again if there were no labels to spoil the experience.
