A real political shoe-in

Because of its relatively short shelf life, much of the campaign-season politico wear tends toward the down-market (“Babies for Obama” onesies, Clinton belt buckles, McCain zip-front hoodies).

But Stubbs & Wootton, the Palm Beach, Fla., purveyor of upscale slippers, took the race-for-the-White-House wardrobe a step in the luxury direction with a presidential-looking version of its classic black velvet slip-on.

Available in men’s ($395) and women’s ($350) styles at Stubbsandwootton.com, the tuxedo-worthy footwear is embroidered with a silhouette of either the Republican elephant or the Democratic donkey in gold metallic thread (or you can split the ticket with one of each).

And because they aren’t senator-specific, you’ll be able to toe the party line right up to the general election in November, confident there’s at least one shoe-in candidate who can support you.
