Men's and women's slippers include closed-back slippers, mule slippers, felt or wool slippers, and slippers with outdoor soles.
A rigid, non-slip sole allows you to step out to get the mail; a wool slipper Gottstein or felt Birkenstock Zermatt keeps your feet warm at home.
The slippers Birkenstock Zermatt lead the selection, in classic or Felt, felt version: an indoor slipper from the brand with a cork footbed, to be gifted or kept.
The Crocs Classic Cozzzy slippers and Teva ReEmber Terrain slippers, from the American brand born in Arizona, are worn at home as well as for a few steps outside: the outdoor slipper avoids changing shoes to take out the rubbish.
The Gottstein Cheyenne slippers, the wool slippers Gottstein and Subu Originals F-Line complete the warm slipper, to be worn barefoot or with thin socks.
For women, the Skechers Cozy Campfire Team Toasty and Cozy Escape slippers and the Victoria Gong Fu slippers, from the Spanish brand, focus on indoor comfort: the women's slipper is chosen to be soft and light.
The kids' slippers include soft baby slippers, and the clogs Birkenstock Boston or Crocs Classic also serve as slippers: the indoor clog slips on in one easy move.
For indoor use only, a soft sole in felt or fabric is enough; for stepping outside for a few minutes, a rubber sole is needed. The closed slipper keeps the warmth, the mule slips on without using hands: the mule slipper is suitable for heated rooms.
For men, the closed felt slipper or the wool mule is worn with loungewear; slippers with an outdoor sole are good for those who go outside often. The men's slipper is chosen to be plain, in grey, brown or navy blue. It's also an easy gift: the size is enough, and a felt or wool model in a neutral colour is liked by everyone. For cold feet, a closed and lined slipper is worn with thick socks; for warm feet, an open felt mule allows breathability. A slipper needs replacing when the sole flattens and no longer supports the foot. A felt slipper is brushed rather than washed.
The boot slippers, high and lined, keep feet and ankles warm in a cool house. The charentaise, a traditional slipper with a felt sole, is worn by the fire while reading. Clog slippers, open at the back and often lined, can be slipped on without hands, and felt or wool slippers allow the foot to breathe better than fake fur.
Cheap slippers can be found in the shoe special offers, and the new shoe arrivals show the models for the cold season. At the end of November, the Black Friday shoes lowers the prices of Birkenstock slippers, just before Christmas. Fast shipping and best price guaranteed.
Your usual shoe size: a slipper that’s too big can cause trips on the stairs. Wool models or those with thick lining compress with wear and should be taken fitted at the start, for a just size.
Depending on the material: by hand in warm water for wool and felt, in the machine in a mesh bag for fabric if the label allows it. Air dry, away from radiators which can distort the soles.
With a rigid rubber sole, yes, for a few steps outside. A soft sole in fabric or felt is for indoors, or it risks wearing out and getting damp.
The mule slips on without hands, the closed slipper keeps warmth better and holds the foot in the stairs. In winter, the closed slipper wins.
A wool or felt slipper, like the Birkenstock Zermatt, in a neutral colour. It's a Christmas gift that's useful all winter long.
