Bet they cost more than $500. BTW, what’s the significance of the little people on the tie?

Well, he still serves at the pleasure of the President, so there is at least one guy he has to cater to.

Meh, seems ok to me. This is not “fuzzy bunny” bedroom slippers. This is “indoor-only formal shoes” slippers, which to me would be the perfect footwear for an extended evening in the Senate Well.

My first thoughts:

Gout?
Peripheral neuropathy?
Morton’s Foot?

There are several conditions that make hard-sided shoes uncomfortable for long periods of standing. I’m not a billionaire. I wear sheepskin slippers with a hard sole unless I have to go to town ($60). If it isn’t winter or slippery, I wear SAS moccasin-styled tie shoes, which have soft sides. ($100 on sale). $79 Tevas in summer. I have peripheral neuropathy and a Morton’s Foot Syndrome.

I really like his shoes. Wish I could afford them.

Maybe the shoes he wore to his swearing in rubbed blisters so he opted for soft slippers. As long as he bought them with his own billions, he’s welcome to wear whatever he wants.

First it was Kellyanne shoeless on the taxpayers’ couch trying to get everyone in the picture and now it’s comfy shoes on an old man who’s feet probably hurt 24/7. The msm just can’t help themselves. But let Moo wear expensive shoes and it’s a great and wonderful luv fest.

A teacher at my children’s elementary school wears $800 tennis shoes to work every day. Yes. A lowly paid teacher. Whatever works.

Haha, the beaver tie. He's got it goin' on! I think we're going to like Wilbur. He has a fun smile. His wiki says he wanted to be a writer but in a college writing class decided he had run out of material. He's a collector of René Magritte paintings. Yeah, a sense of humor.

Who knew, Wilbur Ross is a new fashion icon. One question, what was the purpose of the Post saying that Ross and his wife live in Palm Beach, Fla not far from Mar a Lago? So the leftists would know where to demonstrate? There was no valid reason to add that information at the end of the article.

So what. If you had a lot of money, you might spend it on slippers too.

I bought my lined slippers at Walmart for 9 bucks. I wear them when I fly. very comfortable and with the hard sole you can walk around in them outside.

He has enough money to wear beaver ties and house slippers for formal dinners. They would be perfect with a tux.
