Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions of the Ed men’s slipper, we’re so sorry to hear that the slipper has not lived up to your expectations. The Ed slipper is our only style that is lined with a plush, synthetic footbed rather than a sheepskin footbed. This does give the Ed a different fit and feel than our other slippers. Although this style may look similar to the one that you had purchased previously, it is possible that you had purchased a different style which would have offered a different fit and comfort as the materials used at the time could have been different. We would love to hear from you at info@nuknuuk.com should you have additional comments or questions or should you wish to provide us with additional information.
