You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Here is some inspiring lifestyle stuff! [url= http://mahabis.com/pages/the-brand ]mahabis[/url] (their lack of capitals, not mine) I quote...
laid-back. relaxed. chilled-out. fleetings of dawn and dusk. such moods and moments help define where we are as a brand. many brands try to be your partner for peak athletic performance, promising to help you drive that little bit extra by straining. we’re the opposite. we want to be there for your downtime. the other 90% of your day. your daily adventures.
or maybe...
we often describe ourselves as sitting somewhere between hip-hop and folk. the earthiness and grounding of tradition and heritage, but the edge of the contemporary, the revolutionary. we want to straddle both planes. that’s where we think true innovation lies.
GET OUT OF YOUR ARSE, THEY ARE JUST SLIPPERS WITH A VELCRO ON SOLE... For [s]£49.99 with free world-wide delivery[/s] fifty bloody quid!
Arggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
My level of annoyance may have been somewhat enhanced by my exposure to their advert in the middle of the night when I would really have rather been asleep, still, half term is just starting...
I'd rather saw my own feet off with a dull hacksaw than wear those! 😡
After visiting that web page I want to shank them repeatedly with a large, flat-bladed screwdriver.
OP, when I saw your thread title I thought "blimey that fella's a bit uptight".
But upon seeing that website, I whole heartedly agree that nuking it from orbit is the only way to be sure.
and how exactly will slippers with removeable soles do this ?we exist to innovate around your everyday adventures

and how exactly will slippers with removeable soles do this ?
R soles I guess
By innovating. You know, around the adventures you have every day.
True mastery of marketing bollocks.
Fills me with the urge to defecate.

World of toss. Grarghhh. What"s for breakfast, lies on toast? (rampage)
People still buy slippers.?
Thin hair makes you invisible????
If your only issue with that website is that slippers still exist neilsonwheels, stay away from walls come the revolution!
Having a fresh look this morning just exposed more things for me to have an issue with, like the (entering sarcastic mode) huge (leaving sarcasm mode and re-initialising indignant mode) range of sizes, serviced by one size of sole, that comfortably fits them all... 37-44? But all the same size sole?
I think it's an awesome piece of work. They got you to do their work of getting inbound links by going over the top - it's brilliant. Lets face it, if all they wanted to do was to get you to pay 50 quid for slippers all they had to do was print birkenstock on the side.
there is so much rage here today I hope none of you are planning on driving anywhere this morning. 😛
Genuine people personality slippers anyone?
Isn't the full sleeve tattooed hipster thing wearing a bit thin now? They've even got them advertising Clarks' shoes now.
I keep getting told by the missus to get some slippers because she's getting fed up hooverong sock fluff off the carpet. If you all have a whip round I could give you a 'real world' review if you like
Must be a piss take. Surely?
Annoying website and sole size concerns aside I think they look alright, and you can't tell me fifty quid is unusual for slippers on here. Even my crocs and heatholder sock combo was nearly £40
People still buy slippers.?
I'm off to buy some now.
Rock and roll!
...not the ones from that ****y website, tho.
our factories are scattered across some of the quirkiest cities in europe.
lolz.
I was about to raise the same point Jamie.
we have employees based all around the world. our factories are scattered across some of the quirkiest cities in europe.
You have one product. Just how many factories do you need ? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if it's more than one, you're doing it wrong.
as a company we are based in london
Well, there's a surprise 😉
AND USE SOME ****ING CAPITALS

Hello kettle, pot here...
I quite like them.
Just saying...
However, the day I wear slippers is the day I've given up on life, so currently I'm out. 🙂

Old IT habit, using lower case for usernames.
But there's 10% off!! What's not to like??

Actually now I check it appears i'm no better 🙂
I'm pretty sure back on the pre-hack forum we weren't allowed capital letters in user names.
WARNING
do not, i repeat (in lower case), do not click on the "lifestyle" tab
i'm off for counselling
£50 for a pair of slippers? What is this, an episode of The Apprentice?
Ahhhm ooot. (Yeah I know, different show)
Inspired by your advice I did look at the Lifestyle tab and would recommend it, its ****ing hilarious.
The Rapha of slippers.
Awesome! "Use social15 and get 15% off if you buy today!"
They are bloody stalking me now...
They do look comfy (says the man in £40 sheepskin slippers...)
Slippers are not the issue... The price isn't really the issue (just because I wouldn't pay it says the man in the slippers he got for Christmas) but... Have they ever read their own website?
People still buy slippers.?
Well they appear to be aimed at folks living in squats with bare walls, so I guess they need something warm on their feet.
I like them. Can you walk around without the rubber sole? Would be good for leaving the soles at the back door.
Yes andyl, they would appear to be indoor/outdoor slippers that you shouldn't treat as shoes, but that isn't the point!
must be a joke. Right?
All slippers are the devils work.

*points and laughs, hard*
My username is the same as pre hack. Lack of capitals in usernames does my swede in, so much so I don't use grit.cx because of it 😡
Hmmm, a pair of these could be just what I need to wear along with my organic artisan-woven hemp dressing gown as I sip the espresso from my bean-to-cup coffee machine in the mornings.
Oh no, hang on, I was mixing myself up with that bell end in the rocking chair on their website.
I'm always doing that.
Awesome! "Use social15 and get 15% off if you buy today!"
Hmmm.

I thinking there a marketing plan to make croc's more socially acceptable.
Having read the lifestyle section of the website, If you describe yourself as "quirky" and say you like quirky things a lot, there's a good chance you're a total tryhard. That's why I have lived as bland and pedestrian a life as possible.
Dammit Jamie! How am I going to get my free pair if I get rumbled!
Must admit, there was more of a chuckle this time 🙂 mature they just need a stern talking to and some time on the naughty spot to think about what they are doing...
I'd just put a full metal jacket in the money gun and was about to pull the trigger ... then bollocks! They only do midget foot sizes.
It's making my head steam...

That gif-maker highlighted on their hilarious lifestyle blog is pretty good, though.
