I am a strict vegetarian who does not use any animal products, so you can imagine my shock when I opened my shipment and found that there were REAL COWHIDE slippers inside!!!! The description clearly says 'FAUX' and the box that came was NOT faux. The description is incorrect in the listing, or someone slipped the wrong pair into the shipment by accident - TWICE!!! Either way - horrible mistake!!!! I bought a pair for my father and one for my boyfriend, who is also a strict vegetarian. Both boxes contained real cowhide slippers. (Why does Amazon NOT let you choose zero stars?)
