Pomponed

It was soft, but sudden – Ms Goodwin’s approach having been muted by luxurious and pomponed carpet slippers.

Sophie stomped over to the bed, wearing an ugly pink pomponed hat, hands pinioned grimly to her waist.

I idly watched the feet passing by, trying to guess their owners’ sex and age. It was not difficult. The gaping shoes of old men held together by twine; the dainty sandals of girls, the toes curling inwards from the cold; the pomponed booties of children, their bright colors dimmed by dirt.
