Slipper Sizes
Posted by: Dungassin on 18 October 2010
Just been to buy a new pair of slippers (well, winter will soon be upon us). As usual I finished up with a Size 8 pair - moccasin type. Strange, because I take a size 6 and a half or 7 shoe (small feet!). Why arn't the slipper sizes the same as the shoe sizes? This isn't a new phenomenon and has been that way for many years.
I bought a pair of Clarks leather slippers earlier this year - again size 8. They were slightly tight, but I bought them anyway as "they'll probably stretch". Alas, they didn't, so will be finding their way to the Charity Shop sometime soon.
Cheap slippers are a waste of time. The soles are only glued on, and it they stick out a bit at the front (as they usually do), you catch them on the edge of a step and rip the sole off. This usually seems to happen within 1-2months of buying them (sigh) So, I've given up on really cheap pairs.
Ah well, that's my daily moan over with.

Thanks for that, you can't beat a good old moan and that was particularly fascinating. 
Oh the irony?
I haven't had a decent pair of slippers since the MIL passed away(Christmas presents).

Perhaps I should start a "Moan of the week" thread.
