We wholeheartedly agree with Boston Magazine that the smoking slipper has a longer lifespan than expected after seeing this incredible snapshot of styles. Finishes from spikes to texture and prints make for attention-worthy shoes, including the velvet Charlotte Olympia pair that had the style world obsessing and a moustached Zara set at $50.
