WHAT is it?

A pair of microwaveable boots.

Surely they’d still be tough and chewy even after you’d cooked them? You don’t eat them, fool. You nuke them then wear them, to keep your feet toasty.

How do they work? They’re made of soft, plush fabric and have an interior lining that’s filled with millet seeds and dried lavender flowers. The millet seeds are surprisingly good at retaining heat; after 90 seconds in the microwave the boots give off a nice even warmth for about an hour.

And the lavender? That’s just to make you divine. When was the last time your feet smelled of pot-pourri?

Verdict: Super comfy, super daggy. Don’t ever wear them out of the house, for obvious reasons. I mean, look at them.
