Different clothes call for different shoes, particularly with the continued emphasis on the leg. Yet footwear adds weight and bulk in tightly stuffed suitcases. And so women often leave their slippers at home andsettle for going barefoot, a decision they quickly regret as they pad around unfamiliar hotel rooms. Cuddle Pups, a new breed of slippers that double as casual footwear and are completely washable, are a unique way to sidestep this dilemma.
