Slippy Slippers of Seven-League

I had these slippers, my mom used these slippers, then my brother used these slippers. We didn't feel so connected with them so we decided not to wore them.
For a long they were in a dark basement, used as a playground for small rodents and cellarbugs.

Then a miracle happened for them. Grandpa found them and thought they had great capabilities in satisfing his needs. He has done a lot of repairing and needlework on them. And now when he walks with them he appears to fly, as Alladin did with a carpet. So smoothly he moves.
Unfortunately grandpa's left foot isn't functioning as it should because it is tired and old. And when moving fast, grandpa tended to lose a slipper. To prevent it he sewed a rubberband to hold the Slippy Slipper firmly on his leg.

Now he can fly again.
