I love to walk around my house barefoot, even in the winter. I’ve just never been a big sock person and I didn’t have much use for a pair of slippers. I have a friend, we’ll call her “Chris,” that is the exact opposite. She hates to have cold feet. Always wearing at least one pair of socks on her tootsies, Chris has been known (on more than one occasion) to rock a pair of slippers over her socks. In fact, she recently bought a pair of slippers that look like sneakers because her usual slip on pair were not warm enough. And just for a frame of reference, the average temperature has been about 50 degrees lately. That’s just how strongly Chris feels about warm feet.
So I searched the Interwebs and finally found the perfect foot warming contraption for my dear friend: the Pink USB Heating Slippers (Chinavasion, $4.98). Not only are they fully functional slippers, but they’re heated from the inside! These things are great because they don’t run on batteries, but they’re not exactly for the ultra mobile type. See, the way they generate their heating power is from the USB port of any computer, game console, or pretty much anything you can steal power from via USB cord. And in case you’re worried about getting your new favorite slippers dirty, all you have to do is remove the foam cushion and heating pad from the inside of the slipper and then you can throw them in the washing machine.
I know Chris will be super excited when I present her with these slippers for Christmas. She’s probably gonna just tear them out of the box and put them on immediately, and then just marvel at the roasty toasty nature of her piggies. I’d get myself a pair, but they only come in pink. Wait, real men wear pink, right?
