Amy Jo Gladstone Slippers

Reliable Slippers

Slippers are easily some of the most cyclical items in a woman's wardrobe. After several months or perhaps a good year's worth of wear and tear, the shoes are promptly trashed and replaced with something new. The tradition continues, mainly because slippers are inexpensive and easily replaceable.

Despite this, it can be quite cost-effective to select a pair of slippers that will actually withstand these annual replacements and instead become the "forever slippers" you rely on day in and day out. Designer Amy Jo Gladstone's lineup of comfortable slippers accomplish this through their solid construction and enduring designs.

About Amy Jo Gladstone

Amy Jo Gladstone's celebrity fan base reads like the inside of a weekly gossip magazine: Christina Applegate and Teri Hatcher are both devotees of the lineup of cushioned, cozy slides, flip flops and scuffs. The designer even created the monogrammed house slippers worn by Julia Roberts in Ocean's 12.

It's no surprise she has such a following, considering her desire to create was born of something we can all relate to – painful feet. After the stilettos she favored (and wore to pieces) finally resulted in two foot surgeries, Gladstone made it her mission to create a collection of shoes that women could wear "for more than 10 minutes – and look good," she told the New Yorker. The lineup was born in 1995 and has since succeeded in its goal to bring gorgeous yet functional footwear to the fray.
