Very soft and durable. I have purchased 17 pairs for me and my family over 5 years (we started with Floras). All of them are still in working order despite being main footwear, that's why I keep coming back to order bigger sizes for my kids. We have tried toddler, children and adult sizes and footwear for all four seasons. I also love that it's a small company and they value sustainablity but I mostly keep buying because of good quality. Pictured - our end of summer/start of autumn wildlings. Feathers have gone to rest until spring, soon Tanukis will follow.
