Target Is Selling $20 Microwavable Slippers Ahead Of Winter

The days are getting noticeably shorter, the temperature is slowly dipping lower, and we are unmistakably getting closer to winter.

While those three months will usher in an atmosphere that some people absolutely love, others will be counting the days until we get the beautiful arrival of spring.

If you're the type that needs hot water bottles, heated blankets and robes during the colder times then Target will have something right up your alley.

They're flogging $20 slippers that you can actually chuck in the microwave to safely warm up.

The white, polyester booties can be whacked into your trusty microwave for a couple of seconds to get your toes nice and toasty.

Target claims when the slippers are warm, they can potentially relieve aches and pains and may provide temporary relief from sprains and bruises.

As you can imagine, the idea of mirowaveable slippers can spark concerns about safety.

But fear not, Target has you covered.

They've explained: "After heating, shake the slippers to distribute the heat evenly and test the temperature of the slipper by placing against the back of your hand. Be aware that if the heating times are not carefully followed, there is a risk that the temperature inside the slippers could continue to rise even after removal from the microwave oven

"Do not leave the item unattended whilst heating, watch carefully for signs of overheating, an unusual smell or signs of smoke.

"Should you notice any of these signs or product is found to be worn or damaged, remove carefully from microwave immediately using tongs (or another suitable implement) and place the slippers in the kitchen sink, run cold water over the item until you are sure it is safe to dispose of it in your household bin."

So while they sound pretty testy, can you imagine the thrill and joy of sitting there on a cold winter night and having your feet and toes absolutely toasty and warm?
