In KSA you can find other variants of NOKIA slippers.
I got one years ago, dont remember where it is now, I think it's lost.
The quality? What do you expect from a very cheap slipper?

Yup, you're right axxxr, I remember reading that Nokia started off as a wood mill. So anyway, I've done a search on Wikipedia and found this:
"What is known today as Nokia was established in 1865 as a pulp mill by Knut Fredrik Idestam on the banks of Nokia rapids. Finnish Rubber Works established its factories in the beginning of 20th century nearby and began using Nokia as its brand. Shortly after World War I Finnish Rubber Works acquired Nokia wood mills as well as Finnish Cable Works, a producer of telephone and telegraph cables. All these three companies were merged into the Nokia Corporation in 1967.
The Nokia Corporation that was created in the 1967 fusion was involved in many sectors, producing at one time or another paper products, bicycle and car tyres, footwear (including Wellington boots), personal computers, communications cables, televisions, electricity production, etc."

You learn something new everyday. Nokian make monster tyres for downhill mountain bikes. I always thought of the similarity between the names, but it never clicked they were the same company!
