The slippers could be slippery
“I think they may take so getting used to.”
“Hmmm. Well, they are supposed to be comfortable, so I wouldn’t think about it too much. After all, they are not for running in. You just wear them when inside.”
“Indeed. But they are quite easy to… Ah!”
“Lady Claire!”
“Claire!”
After taking one step, her foot slipped and she leaned backwards. I had to run up and support her, while Ms. Lyra grabbed her from the other side.
“Are you alright, Lady Claire? Please be careful.”
“I’m sorry. And thank you. Are they supposed to slip like that?”
“Uh… No, that would not be very safe… I suppose it’s because they are made of cloth…”
I was relieved that she had not actually fallen and hit her head.
Still, the material of the slippers was not a good match for this floor, which was made of marble.
I should have been more thoughtful about that.
“Sothing must be done about it… I will talk to Mr. Halton later.”
Rubber would be an easy solution, but they did not have any here.
I’m sure there were other options, but it might end up being quite expensive.
“So it is still an idea that is being developed then. Lyra, will you support for a mont?”
“Yes, certainly.”
“Uh, you’re not done?”
“Of course. I still want to get a better idea of how comfortable they are to wear.”
As we had already found one problem, I thought it would be over. But Claire wanted to be a little more thorough with it.
“If you are on the carpet, it doesn’t really… No, it definitely slips a little.”
For so ti after that, Claire walked around in the slippers.
As for the carpet, I suppose it was because there was more friction. Hmm…
Getting an idea, I checked the bottom of my shoes.
“I thought so…”
My shoes were not flat, but had bumps on them. It was not sothing I thought about usually, and so I had forgotten.
“Phew… It is a little tiring. Having to be careful while walking in these.”
“Tiring is the exact opposite of what you should feel. They need a lot of work…”
“But I do like that they are light. Even if they fall off easily…”
After that, she told about what she thought for so ti.
Ms. Lyra also said that she liked how they would be easier to clean compared to shoes.
“I talked to Mr. Halton about making ones where the toes ca out for ventilation.”
“Toes? Oh, that sounds rather embarrassing.”
So she was not enthusiastic about it after all.
Well, maybe they could be like crocs, and just have small holes all around…? But there was no need to decide now, as we had plenty of ti.
“Mr. Takumi, can we try them as well?”
“Of course. Though, I don’t know if it would be good for servants, since you walk around so much in the house. Still, we want as many opinions on them as possible.”
After Claire was finished, Ms. Lyra asked if she could try them on.
Still, I wondered if it would be a good idea. Especially since people like Ms. Gelda were already prone to tripping.
“Yes, I don’t think it would be good for regular wear. But if it is just for testing, I can help with that.”
“In that case, we have a few more that Mr. Halton brought. So please use those.”
“Certainly.”
“As for , I try them on in my room so I get used to wearing them.”
“Yes, thank you.”
