I have been buying the Chicopee slipper for many years. It is not cheap but it is a good slipper in terms of wear and fit. My only critique is that while the slipper has a leather upper and lining the sole is PVC. This is presumably a cost savings from leather over time. I find that the PVC sticks to the bottom of your feet if you do not wear socks. They should include a leather sole. But still the best slipper around.

I have worn this Evans Chicipee slipper for literally decades. Amazon makes it easier to order, and the delivery was excellent...I don't have to go to a department store to get them. The sippers are comfortable and hold up well. Will continue to order these slippers when I'm ready for another pair.

First, I keep these exclusively for in-house wear.

What I like:
1) Good fit -- if you have a foot that just isn't happy in a D width, there are different widths available.
2) Shape is comfortable -- I can slip onto them easily, and they don't fall off.
3) Materials -- I don't mind the man made sole -- I was expecting it and it has held up well (slippers are 9 mths. old.)
4) Attractive, moderate styling -- neither New Age or Old F**t

What I'm not so happy about:
1) Maybe the Narrow width that I ordered is not quite narrow enough for my feet, but the slipper has rolled out from under my foot a couple of times and my foot has slid off the heel like a minor 'rolling your ankle' kind of motion. I'm not playing hockey in these slippers, but I'll accept that my foot is narrower than these Narrow slippers.

What I hate:
1) The uppers are touted as leather. Under the most liberal of criteria, they may have some cow parts in them -- but they may not. The cheapest form of leather is called "Bonded leather" which is made by finely grinding a whole cow, then that powder is made into a liquid thin enough to be spray painted onto Naugahide, or so it seems under close inspection. In the furniture industry, the manufacturer has to identify the kind of leather used, and bonded is the low end - often less expensive than the fabric option.

These slipper's 'leather' uppers have cracked right through on the creases on the tops; these creases naturally occur to any footwear during use. While examining the cross section at the cracks, it is obvious that the material is not leather. The 'leather' on the toes has been flaked off - even with exclusively indoor use. The 'leather' on the piping that edges the top of the slipper has flaked-off. Apparently, other people liked these slippers more than I do, but maybe the manufacturer cheaped-them-out just in time for my purchase.

Now I am going to try to return them. I'll let you know how that goes.

These slippers were a gift and were a big hit. The box, had it arrived undamaged, would have been a very nice gift box and the slippers were attractively packaged in the box. It all had a great "Thin Man" era feel to it - really what you want when you give a slipper as a gift.

But Shoemall provided me with the worst ever experience with an Amazon purchase. Period. The slippers took almost a month to arrive. Their customer service was slow and vague. The box for item was damaged and could not be given as part of the gift. It was all horrible awful terrible disappointing and frustrating. And that was the GOOD part. I would buy a stinky used shoe from a bum on the street before I would go back to these guys.

But these particular slippers were lovely. I am told the sole is perfect for going out and getting the paper in the morning - not being a slipper guy, I can only say that the recipient thought this was an important point to share.

I purchased these slippers for my father as a Christmas gift. He absolutly loves them. He said they fit true to size and are very comfortable. Not many slippers are available in a EEE wide width, these were a great find.

This was a gift and I will order more from this Company. The shoe was very well made and the service from L.B. Evans was excellent.

This is the second pair I have bought my husband. He is diabetic and has much trouble with his feet. These slippers come in different widths and he needs them roomy. He LOVES his Chicopees!

These slippers were purchased for my father who has a hard time finding 1/2 size narrow shoes and slippers. They were perfect! He is so happy with them, they are comfortable and he is wearing them all the time at home. My mother was so thrilled she had me order another pair in a different color.

This is the second pair of Evans' slippers I've bought from Amazon. The first pair were "Opera Slippers", and they were okay, but didn't last long. These "Chicopee" slippers are a similar design. They are very light weight, soft-soled, without a lot of padding, and no fleece, or fur lining. My feet get very warm in shoes & socks, but are usually cold in flip flops, so I buy light weight slippers to wear around the house. I'm still wearing these slippers, despite the fact that the upper seam, just behind the big toe on one of them, split open within 2 weeks. I won't be buying any more of the Evans products. I thought these were too expensive, but I have a narrow foot, and can't find shoes/slippers in retail stores. I really love shopping through Amazon, but unless they start carrying another line, I'll have to buy my slippers elsewhere.

Have been looking for this style slipper for my husband in the local stores for a long period of time with no satisfaction. The L. B. Evans Chicopee are just what he's been waiting for and he now has "happy feet".
