text: I've had a pair of Aristocrats for many years, and they have been good slippers. This summer I bought a new pair (black) and have thus far been disappointed. The fit is fine because I ordered the same size as the old ones (13EEE even though I normally wear a 12 regular). The overall quality, however has gone down. The dyes are cheap and will run if the slippers get wet, so don't walk on light colored carpets. One wonders if these are now made in China. My recommendation to anyone who gets these is to have that extra layer of good leather added to the original soles, which are too thin and poorly dyed-that's the way I got my original pair to last.
