Monster Slipper Is Sadly Too Good To Be True

3:20AM October 21, 2011 | Sam Biddle

Tom Boddingham only wanted a cool pair of monster foot slippers. What he received instead was a monster-sized slipper, after Chinese factory workers ignored an extremely crucial decimal point. Hurray for obvious marketing stunts! More »

The Only Thing More Annoying Than An iMac Slipper

2:40AM June 3, 2011 | Kat Hannaford

And here I was, thinking that if anyone was worried about scratching their desk with their iMac, they just stuck a book underneath. Spending $US41 on a designer slipper is unadvisable, readers. [Hard Graft via HypeBeast]


Does The Carpet Match The Slippers?

12:00PM January 20, 2010 | Sean Fallon

Yes, yes it does. I would trip over this constantly, so the fact that it is a concept is probably just as well. Wouldn’t mind the flip flops though – they look ridiculously comfortable. More »

The Enhanced Human, SkyMall Style

2:00PM November 15, 2009 | Wilson Rothman

I am ashamed of two things. 1) That in our quest for the cyborg life, we were beaten to the punch by SkyMall, and 2) that none of the following products are fake. More »

Someone made this apparently one-off set of baby slippers back at Burning Man 2007, but we want these as a real product. Seriously, these are better than bunny slippers. [Flickr Credit via DC via CG]

Microwavable Boots Keep Your Feet Warm, and Your Microwave Stinky

7:50AM November 4, 2008 | Gizmodo US Edition

Winter is almost upon us, and chilly feet can be a chronic issue. Thankfully humanity no longer has to suffer this unpleasantness with the introduction of CozyFeet microwavable boots. The modern-day equivalent of warming ones feet by the fire, these boots “contain a special blend of natural wheat grain and dried French lavender that, once heated, stay warm for up to two hours” after just two minutes of microwaving.

They make no mention, however, of how this affects the taste of your food; I’d like my frozen pizza with a waft of foot-odour thanks! CozyFeet cost about $US24. [Gadget Shop via Shiny Shiny]
