"Genuine leather" on a slipper label is often a way to indicate that the material is indeed leather, but not necessarily the highest quality. It can sometimes be a way to make a product sound more premium than it is, as it's a lower grade of leather compared to full-grain or top-grain.
To tell if it's a rip-off, consider the price, the overall quality of the slipper, and if there are other indicators like a strong chemical smell or a very uniform, plastic-like appearance, which might suggest bonded leather or a synthetic blend. Researching the brand and reading reviews can also provide insight.
