I want some pink bunny slippers with an open heel in the back. Um, for a friend. I’ve searched online but can only find the fluffy full-foot ones. Anyone have any ideas? They’re not for me. Really. ---

You’re right - denial is very serious… 😛 As for your slipper request - are you talking like regular fluffy slippers, but without a heel or what? ---

They are called “mules”, if that’s any help. ---

Hi there Welby, When doing a search try using the term “scuff” “mule” or “clog” as these all describe a shoe that has an open heel. The term scuff is more often applied to slippers, but the others may be useful as well. Good luck! ---

Kind of, **FCM**. Anyone remember the slippers Val Kilmer had in “Real Genius”? I couldn’t find a picture of them online either. Have a tough search day I guess. ---

> **[Bunny Slippers](https://www.crazyforbargains.com/bunnyslippers.html)** > > Everyone loves bunny slippers. They are cute, fun and remind you of being a kid. Men even love some of the styles because they remind them of the killer bunny slippers from the famous British movie and musical. Theyve been around forever and are... I _think_ they’re pale pink. ---

I have those! I got them at J.C. Penney’s. I hope your friend doesn’t have an over-protective dog, _“must kill the bunnies that are attacking mama’s feet.”_ ---

Found 'em. JC Penny it was, but only because I prefer to drive there than to order online. Thanks for the help you guys. Once again the Dope comes through! ---
