Birdie: In the 19th century, the term “bird” was the equivalent of “cool” or “excellent” – golf scholars believe this is where the term came from. An Atlantic City, New Jersey, course claims that the term originated there in 1903. The meaning being a score of one under par.

When CEO and co-founder of Birdies footwear, Bianca Gates, set out to create indoor fashion slippers as a side hustle in 2015, she didn't imagine they would evolve into a multimillion-dollar brand.

Customers can currently purchase the slippers, which range from $95 to $140, online and at the new Birdies shop in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood. (The slippers are manufactured in China.) The store is designed to resemble a home, inviting customers to kick off their heels and slip on a pair of slippers.

The birdies are made from authentic hen feathers, giving them a graceful flight across the net and easier play for even the newest “shuttler”. Each tube comes with 5 birdies, just in case a few decide to fly away.

If you tend to wear the same pair of shoes multiple days in a row or are prone to foot moisture, it could be a good idea to wear socks - particularly with any of our shoes that are satin-lined (they can get stinky fast).
