I have been wearing Old Friend scuffs for years. The first time I put them on I was in heaven and I wear them around the house often. This most recent pair went back as they did not seem to be the same quality as past pairs. The cushioning was not nearly as substantial and even though I have worn the 8/9 in past pairs this pair was too short. (I normally wear an 8.5 in shoes.) Unfortunately I will need to move on to another brand.
