5 Reasons Everyone in the Family Wants Grandma's Slippers
Summary:
Every family has one thing everybody borrows from Grandma.
This winter, it’s her slippers.
Her old pairs ended up under the kitchen table. This pair went home with her granddaughter after Sunday dinner.
Five reasons the New York Slipper keeps leaving her house, starting with the second strap.
The second strap is the whole trick
Most slippers have one band over the toes and nothing over the middle of the foot. So the heel lifts, the slipper slaps, and it ends up under a chair.
This one has a second strap over the instep, the way a sandal does. It holds the foot instead of floating around it.
Kitchen, couch, front door, in the same pair.
Warm where she gets cold, open where she gets hot
A closed slipper in a house heated to 70 is a furnace within the hour. So it comes off.
This one is plush around the foot and open at the toe.
Warm feet, not sweaty ones.
No heel to pull up
No laces, no back to tug on, no bending over at the door.
She steps in, and she’s done.
Her granddaughter does the same thing on her way out.
Her granddaughter asked first
Two straps of curly faux fur, a textured sole that sits low to the ground, plush under the foot.
Next to the slipper she already owns, it reads like a sandal she’d pick for herself.
Which is why it left after Sunday dinner in someone else’s bag.
Right now, one for her and one for you
Buy one pair and the second is free. One for Grandma, one for whoever keeps borrowing hers.
Cream, Coffee, Gray or Black, in women’s and men’s sizes. Mix colors and sizes as you like.
Sizes come in pairs, 5–6 through 11–12. Take the pair her usual size falls in. Between two, take the larger.
The free pair won’t be there forever.
