We take care choosing clothing and shoes and this should also apply to slipper buying. Well, maybe with slippers it's not so serious and can involve a little more freedom of choice. After all, how many people other than family and friends are likely to see you in them? At Homeys slippers the selection is seriously about colour and patterns and making an individual statement. They are also superbly comfortable.
Mention slippers to almost anyone and almost all will see in their mind a pair of soft carpet slippers on two feet. There is a very tiny minority who might imagine something different. These are the obsessed travellers of woods and mountains throughout the world searching for elusive orchids. There is a family of orchids known as Lady's Slipper' and this particular genus presents some outstandingly beautiful flowers. Some are pink and some are yellow. There are white ones and spotted ones. All have the characteristic of a slipper shaped pouch', hence the name. All those eccentric Orchid searchers dream of finding a new genus of this family. Even Charles Darwin was so obsessed with orchids that he devoted himself to a huge illustrated weighty book all about the many unusual ways the orchid had devised to facilitate its own reproduction. An obsession is an area of the mind which occupies a lot of time for psychiatrists. Are they nutty or are they just following a healthy hobby albeit sometimes slightly out of control? Every year many thousands of people congregate at the annual orchid festival normally held in Majorca; home to some particularly attractive slipper orchids. Is it possible that the slipper' orchid has influenced the slipper designer? How amusing to consider the possibility of a slipper designer being an orchid nut. A case of hobby and work being one and the same.
There are outrageous slipper designs around and there are always going to be at least one pair of these beneath the Christmas tree each year. Unfortunately, once the humour and novelty of wearing huge fire engine' or dogs with floppy tails' on your feet has worn off, these large monsters lose their appeal either because you cannot stand straight or walk up stairs or because they have so much padding that they become too hot. A slipper should be light in weight and it should be warm and comfortable. The comic ones worn out of respect to the giver is quietly put away in some dark cupboard once the giver has left the house. Out come the old familiars' like an old and trusted friend they will attach themselves and take up their position be it in front of a roaring hearth on a cold winter night or be it a stroll across cold kitchen tiles. Not for these slippers a trip outside to the corner shop! A good slipper knows its place and that is on the master's feet at home. Take a look at something like homeys slippers and you know they are your indoor companions.
