Up until this afternoon I would have answered this question with a resounding "Yes". However, not any more.
Being old, and English, and someone who gets occasionally cold feet I decided to buy a pair of slippers in Marks and Spencers. The pair that I chose featured the latest technology "memory foam".
These slippers are made of deep, heat-sensitive memory foam, the inners soles mould perfectly around every contour of your feet, and "remember" the exact shape of your feet, every time that you put them on.
I briefly tried the slippers on just to check that they were the right size, but didn't walk in them as I didn't want to feel too self conscious walking up and down a store in my slippers. This was my big mistake!
On getting the slippers home, and trying them on, it became apparent that the slippers did in fact remember the shape of your feet. Well, actually, when I say "your feet" it could well have been your feet. The memory foam remembers the first person to wear the slippers - i.e. whoever first tried them on in the store!!
Unfortunately, the first person to try on my pair apparently had four toes on his left foot and walked - as I will have to from now on - with a pronounced limp! Every time I wear the slippers I look like John Cleese in the Ministry of Funny Walks sketch!
Next time I'm buying a pair of clogs!
