I got attracted to UGG’s idea of supporting a fair labor scheme, but the reality is I cannot be sure, just hold to their claims… They don’t have any proof, and I just wish they could be more transparent about it.

I do, however, like the use of repurposed materials in some products.

Scuff Deco slippers

Positives:

  • Very comfortable.
  • Apparently durable, looking at the sturdiness and construction quality.
  • Organic materials that are also repurposed.

Negatives:

  • Slightly short in length.

I hope to make these materials last a long time and that I can get this easily repaired by a local cobbler if needed.

Tasman LTA slippers

Positives:

  • Robust construction with straight seams.
  • Cool design for indoors and perfect for home office use without the feeling of wearing slippers.
  • Recycled polyester.
  • Organic materials (besides the polyester), including the sugarcane waste usage for the outer sole.
  • Warm to use.

Negatives:

  • There’s not much chance of repairability with the polyester outer.
  • Not 100% comfortable with first uses.
