I bought these slippers for Sam and I in Vienna last month. They're traditional woollen Austrian made slippers and they're incredibly warm and comfortable. They're from Loden-Plankl, a shop filled with all kinds of traditional Austrian garb - Geiger cardigans, edelweiss brooches, dirndls, Loden coats. All things that I love but that probably seem as touristy and naff to the Austrians as the things in the 'traditional Irish' shops on Nassau Street in Dublin. As this rather amusing review put it: "If you want to deck yourself out like a walrus-moustachioed burgermeister or a Julie Christie lookalike, the Loden Plankl holds the keys to the lederhosen kingdom." Find them here.
