I have to admit I’m a bit of a late convert to slippers. Never wore them myself, and never really got why a thick pair of socks wasn’t better for the childrens feet than restrictive slippers.

Then I started to wear them myself (get thee away from me, cold feet), and was persuaded that they were quite nice – but still felt a pair of socks was better on small growing bones.

Then the lovely Caroline at Ollipops sent me a pair of Bobux leather slippers for Ella. She took one look (pink, with a cat on – need I elaborate?), slipped them on -and they’ve not been off since. Except for going outdoors of course. And sleeping. But even then we’ve been known to have to remove them once she’s actually asleep…

Because they are such soft natural leather, there is no restriction – but lots of warmth and comfort (and also non-slippy-ness). Lots of people get new pj’s for their children for Christmas Eve – may I suggest you add some of these to the pile? The designs are countless, and unlike most childrens slippers they don’t stop at mini-toddlers: these little pieces of foot-heaven go all the way up to 6 year old sizes.

Go on, you know you want to…
