Slipper - 20101214

So finally, I bought a pair of slippers yesterday.

Usually, I wear flip-flops at home. It is convenient and comfortable enough for daily use. My flip-flops are from "Sea Horse", a local brand with some history, at least 20 years of age. I first got impression of it when I was five or six, my aunt wore it. Blue velvet-like strap, beige upper leather sole with sea horse logo, together with blue rubber sole, the flip-flops could easily be recognized. It is always light, flexible and durable. Mine have been worn for many years.

However, there is one big flaw. While toying with flip-flops, all the toes would be exposed in the air. Normally, it is not an issue. But, when the temperature is freezing, toes are frozen like ice cubes, which never are pleasant things under the chill.

Threatened by weather forecast, I determined to get the slippers in Jordan. The shop name "先達", was established in 1958. With that many years of experience, I trust its quality. Made by cow leather, the dark brown slippers are nicely crafted. Tried yesterday night, the body of it was a bit stiff. The genuine leather could avoid pungent smell which fake leather usually gives. Simply speaking, I like it.

Hopefully, I could get rid of the torment of chilly toes.
