Soft-soled slippers
lady · 04/12/2003 21:28
I am looking for new slippers for 5-yr-old ds. I want something nice (natural fibres/no disney etc)but also something with a soft sole. He gets up v early and tends just to "potter" in his room, including sitting playing on his bed, so I want s'thing that will stay on but also that he feels comfy enough in for me to feel happy that his little toes aren't freezing to death. At the moment he has Little D's (Daisy Roots) slippers but is too big for them and they are the last size. I found some lovely ones online with suede soles but they only went up to 24 mths too.
Someone must have a suggestion!

These are the best - all wool and SO comfy for them. And because of the ribbing around the ankle they are easy to get on and don't fall off....

I mean the giesswein ones, not the ones lower down the page

I had actually found these ones (childrenssalon) through a search engine but thought the soles looked a bit hard... is that not the case? would be delighted if you thought these fitted the bill. They really are just for wearing with pj's nights (eg sitting on sister's bed for story) and mornings - more like socks but more than socks too.

no, they aren't hard, you can bend them very easily so the heel touches the toe if you see what I mean. Like quite soft rubberised wool. Not at all like plastic, but obviously harder than Daisy Roots...
I really like them

Brilliant, thank you so much - it's such a waste of time and money to order them and then find they're not what you thought.

Have a look at Ollipops . They do Bobux shoes in all sizes, right up to adult.
