Different Types of Slippers

Keep your feet toasty warm even on the coldest mornings by selecting the best slippers for your personal preferences. Most slippers slide on and off easily and allow feet to rest after wearing confining daily footwear. Some people wear slippers whenever indoors to protect bare feet from injury, minimize shoe wear, and keep floors clean.

Choosing a Style
Classic styles include mules, moccasins, scuff, clogs, and hand knit or crocheted slippers.

• Mules and scuffs slip on easily and are often open-toed. Mules may have higher heels than other slippers.
• Clogs and moccasins resemble their outdoor counterparts. Look for wool or fleece lining for added warmth.
• Bunny slippers have been joined by other creatures, including cows, pigs, bears, dogs, cats and ladybugs, as well as other character favorites.
• Boot styles may take longer to put on, but stay put, providing more protection.
• Slipper socks and flip-flop styles have increased in popularity, offering bright colors and prints.

Most slipper styles are available for a variety of ages. Childrens slippers are often colorful with playful animals or cartoon characters. Choose slip-resistant soles to prevent falls.

Slippers made from wool, suede, velour, fleece or down offer superior warmth. Leather slippers are more durable and useful in quick outdoor jaunts, while terry cloth slippers are popular for use after bathing or swimming. Select slippers that will provide you with the most relaxation.
