Oooh, thanks for the tip. I wish I'd known that when I bought the LE slippers--they got super dirty so quickly and after 4 years of constant wear (we live in a cold climate area), it got to a point where no cleaning would do (or so it seemed--I threw them out the moment the LL Bean slippers arrived). I will try washing the LL Bean ones one of these days, although I got dark brown (lining is dark brown also) so that I wouldn't have to worry about washing them all the time!
