elf shoes

Curly-toed slippers

Elf shoes are footwear with long, pointed toes that curve upward, often with bells at the tips.

The style evokes the elves of Christmas folklore and fairy tales: The costume came with a green tunic and elf shoes.

Real-world versions appear in holiday costumes, children's dress-up, and occasionally as whimsical fashion statements.
