Haflinger Freddie Slipper

These slippers were really comfortable and fit great, however they do not last long. I bought these on January 19, 2014 and here it is July 22, 2014 and there are 2 holes, one on each foot at the front inside toe corner. I don't wear them every day and am not particularly hard on them but the tiny thread that holds the two pieces together has worn away in both slippers. It is funny how just 1 month past the warranty period that have started to fall apart, maybe a stronger thread should be used but for $75 I would have expected them to last longer than they did.

Seem reasonably good quality except that the non-slip rubberized dots on the bottom of the sole wore out with very little use. This makes them extremely slippery and dangerous on a hard, smooth surface such as wooden floors. I don't know if my pair is defective or this is a common problem. It could be a defect because the right one seems worse than the left one. But taking a look at how the soles are constructed to be non-slip with small dots, I think it is a design issue.
