I suppose they’re unique!

Reminds me of those fluffy faces you used to get on a stick at the fair in the 70s!

Gonks!!!! I forgot they even existed till now 🤣

I'm sure I could transform some old shoes into those with the help of a craft kit aimed at preschoolers. Now where's my PVA glue?

TheGrimSqueakersFlea · 27/08/2026 22:09

It's like a tribble had babies with a furby

FrangipaniBlue · 27/08/2026 22:09

It’s the description that got me…….. “a striking faux fur mascot design adds character to your looks.”

🤣🤣🤣

It's Rod Hull's emu wreaking havoc again.

Would have been fun at a tenner. Less so at 179

That’s exactly what I thought 🤭

If you've ever wondered how it would feel if you could put your foot in your minge...

There's an episode of One Foot in the Grave when Victor comes into his bedroom with one foot in a slipper and the other foot inside a dead hedgehog.

AustenitesUnite · 27/08/2026 22:18

Those heels aren't kind to parquet floors . . . . .

Manename · 27/08/2026 22:19

This is the description for the slippers. Wouldn’t want them staring at me whether the eyes are crystal or not-

This Meena Eagle is crafted from faux fur, creating a birdlike face with large crystal eyes. The footbed is moulded for comfort.

My cat would love these! If only I could afford a pair...

Iriseee · 27/08/2026 21:29

What. It's like one's muff slipped down and became personified.

Haha I'm chuckling now!!

Even the shoes look pissed off that they exist!

😂😂😂
I think you win the best comment of the day

PoisonCrystal · 27/08/2026 22:34

I actually really love the sliders. Sorry!

Well they'll be no good in the rain, will they.
Are they turkeys? 🦃

Hedgehogs? 🦔
Spiny Echidnas?
Wild boars?
Gnasher from Dennis The Menace?

blondester · 27/08/2026 22:37

Perhaps they are not shoes but a couple of the dogs that are allowed in John Lewis in disguise

PoisonCrystal · 27/08/2026 22:34

Same here.

AustenitesUnite · 27/08/2026 22:42

They're exactly the sort of shoes little toddlers would love to put on when they're pretending to be Mummy and the sort of shoes that if Mummy wore, she would feel like a little toddler . . .

TheFifthTellytubby · 27/08/2026 22:42

Haven't seen anything that daft in JL since the upside-down Christmas trees they had all over the store about a decade ago!

BadHabitat · 27/08/2026 22:44

Hens teeth, bloody awful!

lifeinthemidlands · 27/08/2026 22:45

I'm amazed how a fluffy shoe can look so evil.

ChaToilLeam · 27/08/2026 22:48

Christ almighty, those are humpty. They look like fairground gonks in slipper form.
