slipper love

me and my slippers, hanging out in the kitchen

this last push of home improvement to get the house ready to sell has pretty much trashed my favorite slippers. we almost exclusively wear slippers around the house, in part to try and keep the dirt level down, but also just because it's cozier to have slipper on when you're home.

anyway, my point: favorite slippers, trashed.
and, as my luck would have it there is no exact replacement. acorn does not appear to make this style anymore. so now i have to do some slipper testing.

WHY are these my favorite slippers?

a list:

1. they are red

2. they are warm, but not TOO warm (my feet are like little radiators, so i can't have anything lined with sheepy stuff or any of that nonsense, TOO hot)

3. they are slip on, for easy off/on action

4. the have a squared toe, so my toes don't get squeezed & have room to breathe & wiggle

5. they are really comfortable and supportive, my feet do not hurt when i stand in them for a long time, like when i'm cooking or something like that

6. did i mention that they are red and super cute?

my favorite slippers are not so trashed that i can never wear them again, but i think that they are so dirty, they will never really be clean again, and i don't think they would survive a trip through the washing machine.

i do own a few other pairs of slipper, but NONE of them are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. so, i order up a mess of slipper from zappos so i can test and try. i am currently waiting on the edge of my seat for the ups delivery person.

update: none of the slippers i ordered live up to the best cutest red slippers. who would think finding good slippers would be so hard?
