The perfect slippers

Please help me find (online, or in a major Canadian store) some slippers that fit the following strict requirements: fluffy on the inside, thick comfy sole, and, most importantly, are closed around the heel without being a boot. It seems that everything I find that fits the first two requirements is clog-style, and that absolutely won't do. The closest I can find are moccasins, but the gift recipient doesn't like leather/fur. Any suggestions?

I bought these suede moccasin slippers at Target back in November. My local store no longer carries them, and target.com says they are out of stock. Where can I find them (or at least shoes similar to them)? My shoes are pretty filthy. I figured since they were so cheap I'd just buy new ones, and now I can't find them anywhere!

I called the target.com contact number, and was told by a representative that they "only see what you see," aka, they see that it is out of stock but can't tell me when or even if they will get more in stock. I called my local Target, and they said they "only know what's getting shipped to us once it's shipped to us." I checked Amazon and eBay- no dice. Googling only leads me back to target.com.

Where can I find these shoes or shoes like them? "Like them" meaning suede, fur-lined (faux), tan with dark brown laces, and under $25?

Or, how could I clean the ones I already have? They're nice and dirty on the outside, as well as matted down on the inside. I assume a washing machine would kill them.
