Coddies, the renowned footwear brand known for its imaginative and unique shoe designs, has unveiled its latest creation: the Feathers McGraw Slippers. These slippers have been introduced to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the beloved Nick Park film “Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers.”
Designed as a homage to the cunning penguin character Feathers McGraw, these slippers are officially licensed merchandise from Aardman, the studio behind Wallace & Gromit. Staying true to Coddies’ distinctive style, each pair of slippers faithfully replicates the character’s iconic red rubber glove disguise.
“Marking the 30th anniversary of the iconic “Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers,” Coddies is excited to bring a dash of nostalgia and a whole lot of fun to everyday footwear,” said Jack Bennet, the founder of Coddies.
“Having Aardman’s approval ensures that these slippers remain faithful to the spirit of the original character, making them an official piece of Wallace & Gromit memorabilia.”
Coddies‘ new slippers feature the brand’s trademark premium comfort, with memory-foam soles that guarantee a comfortable and enjoyable walking experience. These slippers are now available and promise to not only keep your feet warm but also add a touch of mischief to your every step.
Jess Houston, Senior Product Development Manager at Aardman, expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, “It’s been great to work with a fun, fashion forward company like Coddies. They’ve done a brilliant job in producing these cosy slippers, we hope they put a smile on the faces of Wallace & Gromit fans this Autumn.”

As the Coddies range grows into more weird and wonderful ideas as does its base of loyal customers around the globe, helping the brand to fulfill their goal of producing footwear that makes people smile.
