Those looking to stay warm and cozy this winter may be drawn to Urban Outfitters' newest footwear option -- the Smiley Slippers. As the name suggests, these vibrant slippers boast the iconic yellow we've come to associate with the smiley face emoticon with the pattern embroidered at the front upper.
To make the Smiley Slippers more comfortable, the indoor shoe option has a slide-on silhouette and features a drawstring cord at the heel for a customized fit and to keep any drafts from reaching your ankles. These vibrant and happy slippers are available for both men and women in sizes ranges from x-small to large.
Consumers can purchase the Smiley Slippers online and in select retailers for $34.00 CAD.
