Slippers are a comfortable alternative to walking around the house barefoot. Having designated house shoes helps keep your feet protected and warm in the winter. They also help provide cushioning for your feet and keep your floors in better condition. Indoor slip-on shoes also come in a variety of styles that you can choose from, including felt slippers, moccasins, and fleece sock slippers. Outbound has a wide selection of these styles in men’s and women’s sizes at Canadian Tire.
Can I wear slippers outside?
If you want to wear slippers outside, make sure you are purchasing slippers designated for the outdoors. House slippers are often not suited for outdoor wear because of their material, and they can become dirty or damaged from mud and debris. It is also important not to wear outdoor shoes inside, as you can track bacteria and dirt around your home.
What's the difference between slippers and moccasins?
Moccasins can come in slipper form with soft soles, or for outdoor wear with hard soles. Moccasins are essentially lightweight shoes made of soft leather, like boat shoes or loafers. They can be fleece-lined, fur-lined, or unlined. Although indoor moccasins can be considered a type of slipper, slippers can also come in a variety of forms, such as a sock-style slipper or a backless slipper.
What should I look for when buying slippers or moccasins?
When looking for house shoes, always make sure they are comfortable fitting and have good soles. If you have hardwood floors or laminate flooring, you might want to purchase slippers or moccasins with thicker soles. You’ll also want to consider the material of the overall shoe, whether it is a structured shoe with a warm and fuzzy interior or a fleece-lined sock that clings onto your feet.
