Asda George Bow Detail Faux Fur Slippers
by Ninski1
I love slippers and tend to have a few pairs on the go at anyone time. I recently purchased these grey faux fur slippers from Asda for £6. They come in the following sizes, S (small) 3/4 foot, M (medium) 5/6 foot, L (large) 7/8 foot. I have the medium, as size 6 foot. They fit well, are very comfortable and soft, they have a rubber ... sole and grip well, you slip them onto your feet and they stay put. I have been wearing them for around 4 weeks and they have kept their shape. They have soft fur on the inside that keep my feet very warm, they look good as they are a nice grey colour and they have a nice little bow on each one. I tend to wear socks with my slippers, but after I have a bath or a shower and have bare feet, I find them very cosy and soft on my skin.
They are made of 'other materials' and can be machine washed, which I have not done yet, they can also be put in the tumble dryer on a low heat, as they have a rubber sole.
Overall these are good value slippers that are soft, comfortable and have so far worn very well. I would recommend them to all you slipper lovers out there.

Asda George Hello Kitty Wellies
by northernlovely
With the recent snow, my two year old daughter has been shouting 'welly boots!' and taking delight in wearing her beloved rubber boots. Yesterday she fell asleep cuddling one. Today she's been pushing one around in her little toy pram. Why? Because they're Hello Kitty, that's why! She *loves* Hello Kitty (and indeed anything cat related) ... so when I saw the Asda George Hello Kitty Wellies in store, we bought them without question as she needed a pair and we knew she'd love them. We got them in September so we've had them near five months now.
The wellies are, of course, pink, with a purple and soft pink star decoration and Hello Kitty's head dotted around. There is a rubber kitty head on the upper of each boot, too. The sole is black and quite sturdy and there is a good amount of grip on the bottom. My daughter at 2 is quite tall and the boots come to about 2 in under her knee so they're a good height and ideal for one of her favourite pastimes - puddle splashing!
The fit is great, too. My girl has F width feet which is the standard width I believe, and these boots fit her well - a little loose, but we always use welly boot socks (thick slipper sock types) to keep the cold at bay, so they are nice and snug and certainly don't come off or anything.
We've used them in rain and snow and they are 100% waterproof and the grip on the bottom works on fresh snow and hard ice, no falls (well, the usual 2 year old tumbles but nothing to do with her choice of footwear, she's just a bit clumsy!)
I think for the price the Asda George Hello Kitty Wellies are excellent value for money - we paid £8 in store, and you'd pay a post and packing charge on top of that to order from Asda online, though you can collect in store for free, even in smaller Asda Supermarkets which don't sell clothes, which is really handy.
Overall, I'm really glad I bought the Asda George Hello Kitty Wellies as they've been well used and much needed. I wouldn't send her to nursery in them as I prefer a width fitted trainer for indoor / a bit of outdoor play, but for walks in the snow with mummy and daddy, and puddle jumping, they're ideal (they're great for muddy runs to the park, too!) They've saved her trainers from being ruined and kept her warm and dry which is the most important thing. For the money, too, you can't go wrong, especially as she's probably only likely to use them for six months or so. Even so, I'd certainly buy these in a larger size next year if needed.
A solid five stars out of five from me - lovely wellies at a great price, which my daughter loves so much she cuddles! You can't get a better user review than that :)

Asda George Hello Kitty Wellies
by wazza115
Being a working mum, I always like to ensure we make the most of the weekends and spend them doing family activities, regardless of the weather. This means, we all need to have suitable footwear. Last year, Lauren was starting to outgrow her Wellington boots so when I spotted these whilst shopping, I picked them up.
The boots ... cost me around £8 and were from George in Asda, they were available in infant sizes up size 11 and in a standard width. Lauren has F width (I believe F & G are the most common width in children size), and I found that the wellies were a little wide, but to be honest, I find this with most wellies (even adults). Although the boots were a little wide, Lauren would normally wear them with a couple of pairs of socks (to keep her feet warm) so we never experienced any problems with them slipping off or being uncomfortable.
My daughter has really skinny legs, and the calf fitting is quite wide (which makes her legs look even thinner!), these boots come about half way up her calf too so they aren't too long and don't restrict her movement in anyway.
There are lots of different Hello Kitty boots on the market; these ones were a nice bright pink colour, with different coloured stars and large pictures of Kitty's head dotted around. The sole is really thick and is black in colour; the tread is about half an inch deep.
I have found the boots wear quite well, during the wetter/winter months, these were worn at least once almost every weekend at local country parks, in the woods, even in the snow and apart from a little wear on the heal, they still look like new. When they got muddy, I would just rinse over with the hose pipe and then wipe with a damp cloth and they come up like new. The colourings or pictures have not faded or worn over time.
Overall, I would recommend these wellies, Lauren loves them and we have had loads of wear out of them over the last year, the only reason we have stopped wearing them is because she has outgrown them, but the next time I am in Asda, I will definitely be looking to see if they have any more in stock.
I have asked Lauren how many stars she would give these out of 5 and being a big Hello Kitty fan,she said 5, I would have to agree with her!
Thanks for reading.
