Thanko Slips into Something Warm

  November 28th, 2005



It's winter, the heater smells like burning dust, and your feet are about to be cryogenically frozen. What are you to do? Write Thanko and tell them you want their USB-powered slippers to be sold outside of Japan, of course! They may not be magical slippers, but we want them anyway.

The carbon fiber insert gets toasty from the 5v USB, then radiates the heat through the polyester slippers. For ¥3,791 ($32), they'd sure make a decent holiday gift bundled with Thanko's USB gloves... if either of them were sold here! Now excuse us while we rub our feet into the carpet some more.
