Great Treat for Tipsy Feet!
I was watching Dragon’s Den last night (yes, I do tune in every week) and there was one idea I absolutely loved. Ok, the Dragon’s may not have been entirely convinced by the concept of ‘Tipsy Feet’, but as someone who a couple of years ago (how life has changed!) would’ve been in the market for such a product, the ladies pitching the innovation had my full attention.
Basically the idea behind Tipsy Feet is that on a girl’s night out we often squeeze our poor feet into ridiculously pointy toed killer heels that we can barely walk in by the end of the night. So, how fantastic would it be if we could slip into some comfy slippers a la Cinderella to make our way home at the end of the evening? But who wants to take their slippers on a night out? That’s where Tipsy Feet come in. They fold up into a purse that’s small enough to put into your handbag and then when you fold them out at the end of the night and slip them on your feet, the purse then magically transforms into a handy little bag that’s big enough to op your high heels into to carry home - pure genius!
You can put on your highest heels and pop your slippers in your bag in case you run into trouble later in the evening. The Dragons didn’t invest, but I’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for them in time for my next big night out!

these are genius!!! as soon as i saw them on the den i have been googling them and finally they have a website up and running. i will be buying a pair without a doubt!!! expensive but who cares! these 2 ladies deserve all the profit they get.
im always crippled after 4 hours on my high heels and usually end up (in my drunken state) walking around the pub and streets bare foot. the filth on the bottom of my feet is always horrifying, not to mention the number of times i have stood on some glass or something. and those nights where i have more wits about me and suffer through the intense pain of keeping the shoes on, i am then crippled for days and limp around for the best part of a week.
now i no longer have to worry about any of this! i no longer have to shop only for small heeled ugly shoes!

I saw the Tipsy Feet on Dragons Den too and absolutley loved the idea.
Can’t believe these haven’t been made before, I always end up with my feet killing after a night out.
Took a look at the other ones too, but as far as I can tell, for the same price you get the Tipsy Feet and the folding bag as well for your own shoes.
What a smart idea! Can’t wait till mine arrive!

I too had a pair from them but those tipsy feet go one step further!! they have a really cool bag to put your shoes in - which is great, cos then you don’t leave them in the taxi. A friend bought me some for my birthday last week and the bag is soooooooooooooo funky!!
I love them - check them out - www.tipsyfeet.com

I have purchased these tipsy feet on the website provided - they have taken my money but haven’t sent the goods and its been weeks. I keep calling and asking when they will arrive and I keep getting lied to - I think I have been ripped off! Maybe the Dragons were right…………….don’t buy from these people!
