My wife has been trying to get me to wear slippers for the last 20+ years with little success. I’m not entirely sure men were made to put on this earth to wear slippers. I’m thinking that going “barefoot” is really what being a man is all about.

Unfortunately, going barefoot also means tracking your dirty feet into bed with you, and if there’s one thing my wife won’t tolerate it’s dirty feet in bed. So, who was I to complain when she stuck a pair of Old Friend® Loafer Mocassins in my hands and muttered “My way or the highway.”

Actually the couch is a lot closer than the highway – and that’s usually where I sleep when I get kicked out of bed for having dirty feet.

So who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?
Maybe the timing was right. Or maybe I was just tired of sleeping alone. But my Old Friend® Loafer Mocassins weren’t just comfortable, heck .

I felt like my feet were getting seduced. And I can’t think of the last time THAT’s happened.

IN case you didn’t know, the moccasin has long been considered as one of the most comfortable shoes, but the Old Friend Loafer Moccasin takes that notion of comfort and improves upon it. A 100% sheepskin insole surrounds feet with warmth and softness while the raised toe area provides feet plenty of “wiggle room” for your toes. A cinch tie keeps the Loafer Moccasin firmly on your foot while the rubber sole keeps your foot firmly on the floor.

Makes perfect sense: foot-in-slipper…slipper-on-floor. My feet are happy…my wife is happy…and I’m happy. What was I thinking all this time?

Allow me to wax philosophic about the entire Old Friend Slipper line of footwear: These are not you father’s slippers. Old Friend was also among the first company’s to offer a 100% sheepskin insole instead of the cheaper processed wool like you find in a lot of other slippers.

Old Friend slippers are created using…well…I’m not exactly sure how they do what they do. What I do know is that their slipper-making process produces an almost silk-like feel to their sheepskin, which not only makes their slippers stand apart from the competition but will make you feel like a million bucks in small change.

And feeling good my friend is what life is all about.
