I need to find a pair of microwavable slippers for Dan, his feet are bothering him. I'm looking for the kind filled with buckwheat or something similar, that you can heat up in the microwave. I found a pair that was reasonably priced but they have this one-size-fits-all up to size 10, and Dan is size 10, I wonder if they would be roomy enough. Anyway, if you guys have any ideas, let me know. Thanks.
Wow - never even heard of these !!! Will keep a look out....

They are usually found where those microwavable neck wraps are sold.
I haven't heard of them either. They sound really neat though. If I see any online I'll let you know. Good Luck!
I found something that will work in the meantime. A friend found some "Hottie" booties, and just went ahead and bought them for me so I could give them to Dan. Will be giving them to him tonight, he's hurting. I think the soles are filled with buckwheat. You put them in the microwave for one minute and they get nice and toasty. Will let you know how it goes.
Dan does not have Diabetes does he??? if he does just make sure they are not too hot for his feet, do not want feet problems if Diabetic.

Dan is not diabetic...........yet. He has an appointment tomorrow for his pain, and will see his regular doctor soon. We think its his cyatic nerve acting up again. The slippers we got yesterday didn't work, too small.
Found some go up to a size 12 for men you can check them out at www.footsmart.com in tha catalog in front of me says microwaveable slippers you can walk in has the buck wheat seeds you were talking about.

Wonder if some of the bigger Health Centers might have these, like GNC? Mom had those buckwheat neckwraps. It really helped cut the pain.
