I am a lover of cool and comfy socks, and most people that know this, will buy me something related for gifts. One of the little gifts I got for my birthday this year was a pair of Hello Kitty slipper socks.

I think Hello Kitty is quite cute, and with my birthday being in the latter part of the year, the weather is turning quite cold and it is the perfect time for slipper socks to keep my feet nice and warm. The socks I recieved are pink, like most Hello Kitty stuff and are a thick, cable knit style and slightly fluffy. They have little gripper dots on the bottom of each sole, and there is a Hello Kitty head on the side of each sock.

When I put the socks on, they come up about half an inch above my ankle bone. I have found these slipper socks to actually be amazingly comfortable and I have definatley got my fair share of wear out of them already. They are very thick, and they are so thick, I am unable to put my shoes on over them (just had to test this!) The thickness is that great, I can not feel my kittens teeth sinking into my feet when she decides to attack me, like she seems to do a lot!!

I also found that the gripper dots are great for helping you walk on slippery surfaces like tiles and lino. I had no problem walking around my kitchen and bathroom wearing these, yet when I have worn other slipper socks, there was not as much grip. There is no problem walking on carpet either with these on.

These socks are machine washable and they have been washed and tumble dryed many a time and they still look as good as the day I got them. They have lost no colour at all, so fading is not a problem and they are as still thick and warm as when they were new too. I am very impressed with the quality of these socks, and I feel I would happily buy another pair of these should I need to.

I am aware you can buy these Hello Kitty slipper socks at Marks And Spencers, but I am unsure of the price due to me not wanting to know how much people have spent on my gifts. You can buy these in Marks and Spencers stores and I am sure you could also buy them online.

I give these slipper socks a 5 out of 5 stars and I recommend them for all those who wish to keep their feet warm this winter.
