I have had two problems with these shoes: (1) they tend to squeak when I walk and (2) the leather is dull and does not take a shine very well.

Not like they used to be. J&M has moved much of their manufacturing to China and the quality has taken a huge hit. I wore out a pair of these and brought them to my cobbler for a resole and he told me not to bother as the soles are now glued rather than stitched.

This slipper has a very durable sole, a lot like a tennis shoe. The fabric is durable as well. Even though it isn't as stylish or "cute" as other slippers this is the one my seven year old picked out and he loves them.

GREAT SLIPPERS!! Got these for my son. I had to exchange them for a bigger size and had them the very next morning!! Great customer service!! The slippers are soft, adjustable in the back for a tighter fit or looser fit just by pulling the drawstring and locking it into place. Plus, it has the rubber sole of a tennis shoe which is nice if he wants to wear them on our deck in the mornings! I would recommend these to anyone with kids since they are non-slip and have a nice arch in them. Very comfortable!

My son received these slippers for Christmas. They fit him well and he was very happy with them from the start. I like the solid sole that allows him to wear these outside briefly without ruining them as he would other slippers. The bungee broke on day one, but does not seem to affect the wearability of the shoe.
