But these slippers look quite simple and boring against the background of newfangled models of shoes for the home. But since they are found most often in home textile stores, clothing and footwear for the home, they are most often taken, although there are many other interesting models on the market.
2. Animal Slippers... They are very fond of young couples, especially those with small children. These slippers are combined with soft toys that both children and adults like very much, and also look very cute and beautiful.

Did you know that not only the length of the foot is important, but also its width, as well as anatomical features. First of all, look at how the slippers sit on the foot, if the foot protrudes, and also if they press in the side. It happens that everything seems to be fine, and after wearing on the leg, unpleasant sensations appear in the foot, in order to avoid this unpleasant moment - look for models with soft inserts inside, and avoid slippers with hard leather or even plastic inserts.
2. Material
Household slippers are made from materials such as:
- Leather;
- Foam;
- Suede;
Suede and leather- this is the most common material, while the air circulates well inside, regardless of whether the model is closed or open.
Foam, the main advantage will be ease and ease of care, they can be washed fluently in a typewriter.
An important factor is the finishing material, which, I repeat, should be soft and comfortable, without causing irritation. A good option is also cotton or terrycloth trim.
3. Fashion
Although slippers are also home shoes, they also obey the trend of fashion. It is much more pleasant to wear comfortable and fashionable slippers that will appeal to you. This year is very popular polka dots and retro style - in other words "grandma's style". Also popular are slippers-socks without a hard shell, in which it is pleasant to walk and even sleep on cold nights.
4. Outsole
To begin with, let's decide on the type of sole, which are divided into rubber, foam and plastic soles. The foam is remarkable for its spring-like effect, which provides walking comfort and convenience. It is very useful to wear slippers with foam soles for people suffering from joint problems. The rubber outsole has the longest durability and good flexibility. The plastic is hard and can break, but such a sole takes place if there is pain when the foot is bent.
5. Purpose
First, people do not always take sneakers personally for themselves, so if you want to make a gift, then in order not to miscalculate, it is better to choose classic monochromatic models. Second, even house slippers serve different purposes - it can be a reception of guests, a meeting of a loved one, or everyday wear. They, too, must be taken into account.
Our beloved men, at times, even more than we - tired women, prefer soft, cozy and comfortable shoes. Which, oddly enough, are undoubtedly slippers, they have a long history and come from Eastern culture. If earlier they were a means of imprisoning the slaves of the Sultan's harems. Now they free us not only from heavy shoes, lifeless sneakers and cold slaps, but also from all worries. The comfort of home warmth is transferred to the most pleasant shoes in the world - slippers. But we are faced with a difficult task, how to choose the right shoes, which should be not only beautiful and practical, but, first of all, comfortable and harmless to our health.
A few practical tips for choosing a cozy gift for your beloved man, for his strong male legs, eager to take a break from the hustle and bustle of work and training.
Remember the choice of shoes, like your favorite handbag or trinket, should be fun and light. For example, you can use a healthy lifestyle, where there is a choice and it is possible to take into account all the criteria that are considered basic when choosing a quality product.
Never take shoes one size larger or smaller, be sure to try to select the correct size, or your foot muscles will suffer.
Choose a neutral color, do not choose black, it is alarming and annoying. For a man, slightly gray, emerald, bluish, blue, brown, rotten cherry, cocoa, all bedding are more suitable. But never take too bright, or dark, they depress and alert, excite.
Color sneakers should soothe, looking at the slippers, think about what color would soothe you.
Cost of slippers, can also tell a lot about them. Since ancient times, they were made from expensive materials, as before it was a luxury item and an indicator of wealth. When choosing slippers, look not only at their color and material, but also at their price, it will really tell you how much material was spent on their manufacture, and how strange the manufacturer is.
Material plays one of the dominant roles in the choice, since in our time the number of unnatural fabrics is growing every day, the production of natural fabrics falls due to the cheapness of "chemistry", but you choose natural and high quality or cheap and harmful.
But we also do not forget about the individuality of each, we have not only sparkling talents, but also some features of our skin. Men suffering from heavy sweating will only suffer if, instead of the desired rest and comfort, he receives a nightmare smell and uncomfortable torture. In this case, based on the health characteristics of a loved one, it is worth choosing natural types of fabrics in sewing slippers.
Insole must be made of natural material, as it is most closely in contact with the skin.
The tradition of wearing slippers, which dates back to the time of Peter I, has successfully survived to this day. The idea of keeping the home clean, symbolically changing street shoes for cozy slippers turned out to be very useful. She helped to maintain a special home atmosphere and healthy habits. However, what are the best slippers for the home and what to look for when choosing these shoes?
What are home shoes?
What kind of slippers are there? Variety! All indoor shoes can be divided into two large groups - these are light slippers for the warm season and warm options for winter. This division is especially important if sneakers are used to wear in a private house, where it is more difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature regime than in a typical city apartment.
Another classification involves dividing home shoes into more elegant models for receiving guests, simple and comfortable options for everyday wear and practical, moisture-resistant shoes for the bathroom.
Which slippers are better to wear at home is a private matter for everyone, but in either case, the main requirements when choosing a suitable model are durability, strength, comfort and aesthetic appearance. It depends on how comfortable and safe your feet will be and whether you can fully relax after a busy day at work.
Choosing good shoes
When choosing truly high-quality and comfortable home shoes, you should follow a few simple rules:
- Pay attention to the material from which the model you like is made of. If you are looking for light, summer slippers, you should give preference to slippers made of silk, cotton, velvet, tapestry, corduroy, denim or velor. They should be as open as possible to ensure optimal ventilation of the foot. However, the lack of backs and good fixation of the foot in this type of shoe with constant wear is not a very positive moment. For winter, it is better to choose a closed model made of wool, sheepskin, fleece, thick felt on a thick sole.
- If possible, it is worth buying slippers for the house made from natural materials. They are more hygroscopic. Especially if your feet are prone to sweating.
- Slippers should not emit a strong chemical odor, the sole should be light, even (with the exception of special home orthopedic shoes), all internal seams should be flat. It is best if the insole is cotton or leather.
- If your home has laminated or linoleum floors, you should not choose slippers with smooth soles, this is not safe, since the slip coefficient of such shoes is very high.
The main thing is practicality?
There are moments that entirely depend on the tastes and preferences of the buyer. One of them is the choice of the color of home shoes. Here, your imagination is limited only by the capabilities of manufacturers. Darker shades are more practical and less branded, but light-colored slippers are more elegant, although they require more careful maintenance. In addition, when buying "ceremonial" slippers that are worn for the arrival of guests, it is worth remembering that feathers, beads, decorative elements made of sequins and satin ribbons do not imply frequent washings. It is best if the decor is firmly sewn on. Not glued. These slippers will last much longer if not used as everyday indoor shoes.
At home, you want to fully relax and unwind. Therefore, the choice of footwear for the home should be given special attention. The following guidelines will help you find a comfortable model for home wear.

They combine all the advantages of natural and artificial models;
