PARTY FEET

BECAUSE of its relatively short shelf life, most campaign-season politico-wear tends toward the down-market (“Babies for Obama” onesies, Clinton belt buckles, McCain zip-front hoodies). But this month, Stubbs & Wootton, the Palm Beach purveyor of upscale slippers, took the race-for-the-White-House wardrobe a step in the luxe direction with a presidential-looking version of its classic black velvet slip-on. Available in men’s ($395) and women’s ($350) at Stubbsandwootton.com, the tuxedo-worthy footwear is embroidered with a silhouette of either the Republican elephant or Democrat donkey in gold metallic thread (or split the ticket with one of each). And because they aren’t senator specific, you’ll be able to toe the party line right up to the general election in November, confident that there’s at least one shoe-in candidate who can support you.
