They were unlined and wore like iron. Unfortunately they developed a stank and my wife threw them out. As I recall they were called "Foot Furnace" and they were made in Greene, Maine but I can not locate that company or any slipper maker in Maine. Any suggestions? post:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.59553 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 18:03:30 -0800 kaytrem shoes slippers leather maine http://ask.metafilter.com/59553/Perfectly-plain-leather-slippers#895810 I could probably think of a half dozen stores in the Adirondacks that would have this, but I doubt any of them have online stores.
