Aladin...

Ever since I was a kid, I've wanted some Aladin-like slippers. I like the odd-shape and how they curl in the front.

I've never given it much thought of what the use of the curl could be. I'm still not sure, but I believe this design has merit. The reason is that, if you can imagine walking in these, they are not that sturdy. So, if you'd kick something hard by accident, you'd propably damage them.

This way, with their curly point, they just fold safely. This must make them more durable that the regular (our regular, at least) ones that don't curl up.
