Not a great photo, but don't let that diminish this product. Are you photogenic from every angle? Do you have any idea how early in the morning this picture was taken? If they'd waited a few hours and gotten a better shot, these babies would be long out of stock, so we should all thank our lucky stars the photo's as bad as it is.
And what it's a photo of is a pair of herb-filled slippers (no, sorry, not that kind of herb). They're stuffed with lavender, rosemary, mint, lemongrass, and other aromatherapeutic greens. The product description suggests heating them in the microwave before use, but I suggest a vigorous walk, regardless of the fact that the manufacturer insists these are for resting purposes only. Your body heat and weight will trigger the desired effect, and who cares what the soles look like? Wear them during exercise sessions and try to distinguish between lemongrass and rosemary between leg lifts.
These will undoubtedly be the most comfortable pair of slippers you've ever worn, if you can ignore the sharp fibrous edges of various herbs poking at your toes. The minkee material (also sometimes spelled minky) is a new micro-fiber noted for its softness, and once you've worn it on your feet, you'll be looking for an entire wardrobe of herb-filled slinky minky.
Feel good, smell good, and look good in what we like to think of as the footwear of the gods. One size fits most.
My brother: Herb filled slippers! Now why didn't I think of that?
Perfect for the lazy chef who can't be bothered to go all that nutty way to his herb garden. Just lift a foot, et voila! A sprig of some trodden herb, footwarmed, and ready to flavor!
I can also smell the cheesy pong that minkee (minky) on foot sweat will cause, mixed with the grandmotherly scent of the "other" greens (collard, mustard, etc.)
It kind of seems like a bandana and a bouquet garni would do the same thing.
