New Slippers
Woman in the Middle | November 27, 2016Last winter around this time I was in a chain drug store and saw a pair of slippers on sale for a good price. i needed a new pair and decided to buy them. Big mistake. While they were the right size size length wise, the part of the slipper you slip your foot into was just too big. They would be good for someone who had problems with severely swollen feet, but not for someone like me who just needed a pair of slippers to wear around the house. They also had hard plastic soles which were noisy on my wood floors. My noisy walking was made worse by that “too big” factor, which caused me to slap around the house. This was getting on my nerves and so I asked for a new pair of slippers for my birthday or Christmas.
Somehow (and I don’t remember how) me and my cheap noisy slippers came up at Thanksgiving dinner. Youngest Daughter’s bedroom is at the entrance to the hall, and I found out that she thought I was either being passive aggressive and trying to disturb her with my loud walking, slapping back and forth in front of her bedroom door, or that I was getting old and decrepit and was having issues walking in my slippers. I explained my cheap slipper issue and oh how we laughed about the misunderstandings that came from me buying cut-rate footwear!
I am happy to report that Hubby bought me some nice, warm, Dearfoam slippers and I no longer disturb the family with my shuffle/slap walk. The cheap ones are going in the trash and I have learned my lesson concerning budget slippers!
My lovely, warm new slippers, thanks to Hubby.
Oh yeah you are not the only one to make the mistake of buying some shoes because they were cheap only to find they are ratshit shoes
I like your slippers! They are the perfect color (purple). I’m glad you got what you wanted. B-D
