| Over the last twenty three years Old FriendŽ has carefully guided the quality and specific form of the brand. While most sheepskin slippers have had pretty much a straight up and down counter, we developed a substantial, rounded heel counter. This allows for secure movement and use of our slippers as a street shoe if desired. Our packaging has been developed to not only attract the customer but to be representative of the quality of the product found inside.
We especially distance ourselves from the coarser wool on even the most expensive products. Our production process produces an almost silk like feel to our sheepskin which not only satisfies the end user, but aids in the buying decision. We have removed all textile bindings in favor of garment grade pigskin and have sewn in detail to avoid any chance of irritants coming in contact with bare feet. We were also among the first to offer a 100% sheepskin insole instead of the cheaper processed wool used by many. |
