Slippers and house shoes for men and women: Birkenstock, Crocs

Slippers Birkenstock Zermatt

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.

Slippers: Crocs Classic Cozzzy and Teva ReEmber Terrain

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.

Wool and felt slippers: Gottstein and Subu

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.

Women's slippers: Skechers Cozy and Victoria

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.

Kids' slippers and indoor clogs

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.

How to choose your slippers

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.

Men's slippers: felt, wool or mule

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.

Boot slippers, charentaises and clog slippers

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: special offers, new arrivals and Black Friday

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.

Frequently asked questions about slippers

How to choose the size of your slippers?

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.

How to wash slippers?

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.

Can you go outside in slippers?

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.

Mules or closed slippers?

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.

Which slipper should you gift?

A wool or felt slipper, like the Birkenstock Zermatt, in a neutral colour. It's a Christmas gift that's useful all winter long.
