Slipper and method of making same

The method of making a slipper comprising attaching an outsole to an outsole pad, forming a vamp, attaching said vamp to said outsole, attaching heel portions of said outsole and vamp to a heel portion of a sock to provide a space between said outsole and said sock and leaving the toe portions of said outsole and vamp free of the toe portion of said sock to provide an opening at said toe portions, turning said heel portions through said opening, providing an elongated flexible filler having a length and a width and including a toe portion and a heel portion, the filler being of such a size as to substantially fill said space, said filler comprising a thick layer of foam cushioning material and a thin layer of flexible reinforcing material, providing a clamping means including a pair of elongated substantially flat clamping members, clamping said filler between said flat clamping members along a substantial portion of the length of the filler from the toe portion of the filler to a point near the heel portion thereof, inserting the clamping members and the clamped filler through said opening into said space, unclamping said filler, removing said clamping members from said space while said filler remains within and substantially fills said space, attaching the toe portions of said outsole and vamp to the toe portion of said sock, and turning the slipper inside out to its right side.
