Romeo Slippers
Romeo Slippers
If you were ever around my Dad you saw this kind of slippers on him. He had them on in the picture above when he was visiting us in 1952. He wore them for as long as I can remember. My Mother always bought them for him because he never shopped for himself.
He loved these Romeo slippers. They slipped on very easily and they were a little bit dressier than bedroom slippers but were much more comfortable than dress shoes, or his work shoes. He always wore the brown ones. However, he would not have cared if they were brown, red, black or green just so they were Romeos!
I never see a pair of Romeo slippers that I don't remember my Dad and his slippers.

I remember him wearing those, but I didn't know that's what they were called.
You bring back memories with that photo and the Romeo's. My dad also wore them as far back as I can remember but I could not remember the name of them until the other day my 92 year old mom said the name of them as we talked. I would love to know the name of the Company who was making them in the 50's. If you see this and know please let me know. I plan on getting a pair for my poor old feet.
