    called slipes, spags or planks. There is a poem referring to the slippers which says:-
    "The skinny side out,
    The hairy side in
    It's nice in cold weather,
    Says Brian O'Lynne"
    Doctors say that the wearing of high heeled shoes nowadays is the cause of the women no being so healthy as they were long ago. Those who want to take good care of their feet should wear a medium height of heels and shoes that are not too tight.
