Make it so that the lace goes across the foot's instep rather than near the ankle. That would allow a secure fit without interfering with ankle movement.<br /> <br /> 2. Add a rubber sole, preferably one that matches a tracing of the future owner's foot. This is mainly to reduce the possibility of water being absorbed by the leather.<br /> <br /> 3. Brown wool, so that people don't immediately notice that you're wearing slippers as shoes.

I used to wear Vans flip flops around the house, more as a house shoe than a slipper. I have never actually worn slippers in the house since I was a child. I used to have the same knit slippers from my grandma as what Robert mentioned, so I know exactly what he is talking about. These definitely brought those back to mind. The leather sole is a nice touch that the handmade grandma slippers never had. I am betting that is a lot more comfortable than the crocheted bottoms I had as a child, better traction too I would imagine. http://birthdayshoes.com/padraig-cottage-crofter-slipper#c20259 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 16:46:33 +0000 Justin Owings [Member] c20258@http://birthdayshoes.com/ I was fortunate enough to receive a pair of these as a gift (thanks Robert!) having never heard of them before. They are nothing short of awesome. Exceptionally comfortable, warm, cozy, and kinda cool looking in their own right.<br /> <br /> Though they are slippers, just like the Soft Star Roos, you could certainly wear them around town if you're not a foot dragger. But for a slipper, I'm not sure the Crofters can be beat. They are simply fantastic.
