Smithsonian Institution Exclusive

Description

Kids who ask for a bike as a present, be careful what you wish for—you could end up with a penny-farthing like the high-wheel embroidered on these cozy slippers! The iconic design was a hit with cycling enthusiasts in the 1870s and 80s and you can find examples in the National Museum of American History. Our popular slippers keep toes toasty with a plush sherpa lining and nonskid soles—but they're not recommended for bike riding.
