Footprints 21 Slip Slops

It has to be said that a pair of comfy old slippers beside the bed to slip familiarly into on rising, is a potential  fashion hazard waiting to happen. Can a slipper be ironic ? Should a slipper be iconic ? Can we afford a little utility at dawn before we make those feet of ours work the runway of the day ahead ? The answer is Yes, obviously. There has to be a moment in every day when your toes, arches and ankles touch sloppy old base, shuffle and slouch, prior to greeting the foot press pack. There is something deeply reassuring about the humble shapelessness of the dear old faithful slipper. Keep your fluffy kitten mules tucked under the bed to impress when necessary but alone, keep up those double standards and scoff your branflakes with style less delight in a pair of warm shapeless snuggies. Check out these Nokia cosies with their witty nod to vintage Flo and Andy Cap. And they could come in useful on Comic Relief's Red Nose day too.  Ah! That's better!
