Title: Cold feet?
Post by: Georgie on January 18, 2010, 21:58:12
Recently I've suffered quite badly from cold feet and no amount of warm socks, hot water bottles, sleeping bags etc have really proved effective/practical.  So last week I used Google and found these:

I ordered some on Friday night and they arrived this morning and I'm delighted.  My feet are warm at last.   :)

Honestly I'm not on commission or anything like that but just thought some of you might find this useful.  :)

Oh dear, what a question.   :-\    If I'd been blessed with diplomacy I'd have been a diplomat!

I'm thinking the answer is no.  There really isn't a lot of room between the upper and the back of the slipper so my guess is they'd be rather too tight to be comfortable.  Sorry.

I wonder if somehting along these lines might suit as they appear to have zips whereas the ones I have are pull on.  Just a thought.   :)
