Which is better, the shearling sole or the crepe sole?
It is simply a matter of personal preference and personal habits. Many people simply don’t like a slipper with a ridged bottom (Kathy is one of them). However, if you are one of those folks who seem to run outside “just for a minute” in your slippers day in and day out you will be much happier with the durability of the crepe sole. It is a trade off. For comfort we suggest the shearling sole, for wandering out to get the mail or downstairs into the basement we suggest the crepe sole.
