Haflinger 40's

The box says "Step into a friendship" and also "Die natürliche Art zu gehen SCHUH NATUR" (which Yahoo's babel fish translates to "The natural kind to go SHOE NATURE"). I'm not sure that you can be friends with footwear. The latter term might be referring to the wool my new slippers are made of. It's probably not what the sheep had in mind, but I guess that using the word "nature" (or a variation thereof) twice appeals to us crunchy types. Perhaps it is the reason that they charge so much for a pair of slippers (and why suckers like me pay it).
Aaaaaaaaanyhow, I stuck them on my paws and they are delightful! Seriously, now that I have them, I'd probably pay double (well, probably not).  They don't look like much, but they're warm and comfy with just the perfect amount of give. This is enough to put me in a stellar mood for the rest of the day!
