In 1881, Daniel Green, a young traveling shoe salesman for the Wallace Elliott Company in New York City, visited Dolgeville New York. He was shown a pair of felt shoes fashioned from waste pieces of piano felt which had been made in the Dolgeville Felt Mill. These felt shoes were worn by many factory workers to keep their feet warm and comfortable on the cold factory stone floors.

Over 100 million pairs later, Daniel Green® slippers today continue to represent the very same high quality and unparalleled comfort as they did during the days of Daniel and William Green. While many of the styles remain very classic and traditional, the Daniel Green slipper collection today has also expanded into a wide variety of new looks, fashion, and utility, inside and outside the home.
