Awww my Grandma use to make bootie slippers!

My mom makes bootie slippers all the time, but I think she'll like seeing these. The double souls make a lot of warmth and comfort sense and I don't recall her ever making any with double souls. These really do look as good as they look to be warm and comfy. Thanks for sharing!
