Moccis reinforce my view that slippers are for old ladies
We're a no-shoes-in-the-house kind of family, which is no problem in the summer. But when the cold weather arrives, I'm stuck with a couple of kids with darn chilly feet.

If you've got a kid who thinks slippers are torture devices, then you'll want to snag a pair of Moccis, a cool cross between a warm sock and a moccasin. Your kids can easily slip on these modern moc-socks that hail from the oft chilly UK, and better, keep them on without slipping or sliding on your floors thanks to the suede soles.

For $26, it's worth not having to fight them about putting something on their feet. And believe me, they won't miss the giganto race cars and bunny rabbit slippers. -Kristen
