My ratty slippers need replacing

June 26, 2012 11:45 AM

I love these slippers but they're 12 years old and falling apart. The label says "Coming Home" along with "Made in Italy" and "RN 62390." Google is failing me. Any ideas how to find them?

Twelve years ago, a boyfriend bought these slippers for himself. When I accidentally wore them to the laundry room, he decided they were "tainted" with hallway dirt so I got to keep them.

Since then, I've worn them everyday inside the house and they've lasted pretty well! I'd like to replace them, since they're really on their last legs now, but I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I think he bought them through a catalog. Any idea where I can find these?

Best answer: Coming Home was the bedding, etc. division of Lands' End. Unfortunately, I don't think they sell those anymore. Here are their existing slippers.

If you Google images for "massage slippers" you'll maybe find some similar ones, like these, for $5 used, if you're desperate.

Response by poster: @Madamina, thanks for tracking down the company. Sad they don't make it anymore!

@weapons-grade pandemonium - hmm, so they're known as "massage slippers?" I'll start looking around. Yeah, not desperate for a used pair, despite walking in the house in ratty ones.

Adidas makes a pair of slides that have the message sole.
