Crazy fuzzy slippers needed for crazy, fuzzy guy

November 28, 2006 7:20 PM

I want to purchase some fuzzy slippers for my boyfriend. He has expressed desire to have slippers, but he doesn't care what kind. I'd love to find some really unusual ones.

Has anyone seen any truly unique fuzzy slippers? I don't want just bunny slippers- I'd like some crazy alien bunny slippers. Or like, fuzzy Frankenstein feet, maybe, because I always joke that he walks like Frankenstein (or rather, like his monster. I don't know how the good doctor walked.)

My boyfriend also wears a size 14 shoe, so that might pose a problem, because most of the fun slippers seem to be for kids.

Alternatively, anyone have any tips or ideas on how to mod up a normal pair of slippers to look weird? I imagine there must be a precedent for this, but I can't seem to find it. Thanks!

Killer Rabbit Slippers?

d'oh - they only go up to size 12. I think you want to find slippers that look like boats. Those are some big feet.

Response by poster: Thanks plinth. I just saw those the other day, and was thinking about them. He does like Monty Python. But while those bunnies are kind of crazy, they're not over the top crazy, you know?

And yes. He does have big feet. They're always in my way. Gah.

Hot Red Furry Monster Slippers - super easy to make, by the looks of it. And while they don't come in a size 14, these Freudian Slippers might be easy to make out of a regular pair of slip-ons, if you're crafty.

Freudian slippers?

My mother in law gave me some Sasquatch wearing sandals slippers last year for Christmas. They look like giant hairy feet wearing Teva's. But I can't recommend them because they make my feet sweat something fierce!

Its a shame these don't go up to 12's because they rock!

Maybe one of these pairs of animal slippers? Some seem to come in XXL, which says it fits men's size 13, so those might be your best bet. They also seem to have a lot of sports stuff if he's a big fan of any particular team.

My sister gave me Blinky the Three-Eyed Fish slippers last year. They are very comfy.

My girlfriend bought me a pair of these.

Yes I wear them. Yes I'm totally okay with it.

I vote for the cthulhu slippers. I might have to pick up a pair of those!

Happy Feet (not to be confused with the movie) had a kiosk at our mall for the longest time. The site really doesn't do the slippers any justice.

Not sure if you're in the US, etc. but I also see animals slippers in large sizes at stores like Payless Shoes. And if you're not anti-Wal-Mart, they had some uber comfortable Big Foot feet about two years ago during the winter.
