Fashion Item of The Week.....Smoking Slippers



























I am as tall as my husband, and despite Katie Holmes wearing heels around her ex Tom Cruise, I really don't like to tower over him, so I much prefer flat or low heels. That said, I do seek out fashionable flat shoes that will offer great comfort to fussy feet, along with good style. Some flats look flimsy, too girlishly cute or just plain orthopedic, so I am embracing the new trend of SMOKING SLIPPERS. Since I really can't wear my favorite Moccasins past the front door, I opted for the next best thing, and was on the lookout for a pair of trendy SMOKING SLIPPERS to wear with jeans and casual dresses. People who are on their feet all day swear by Sam Edelman shoes and boots, so when I spotted these in the Hudson Bay store I had to give them a try. And, they are just as comfy as a cushioned men's slipper, but with a funky faux animal print and a shiny nickel toe cap, these are NOT your grandpa's slippers. If I bend over, I can even apply my lipstick in the toe cap mirror.

  3. Love them ! I tried on a pair in burgundy velvet with brass studs but they slipped on the heel .. I have to keep looking for a pair that fit. I love them with skinny leg jeans.

  11. With size 11 feet I'm guessing I'd be hard pressed to find some of these, but they are really cute. I'm tall, and my feet and knees will NOT agree to heels LOL. I agree with you about flats - most are incredibly flimsy and have very poor support.

  12. Hi Chania

    Those are unusual and beautiful. I like the toe and it's function for applying lipstick.
