Men's house slippers: closed, warm and for hotels, from sellers
What do you need slippers for?
Slippers for a polished floor, for a cold floor and for a hotel room are three different jobs. At home in a cold winter you need warm closed ones, in summer open and light ones, and for guests or a hotel, disposable or budget ones that you do not mind replacing.
First decide how much they will be worn. If you step out onto the balcony or into the yard in them, you need a firm rubber sole, because soft textile is spoiled by damp.
Material and sole
- Sheepskin or shearling: the warmest, they hold heat well and keep the feet from sweating, but cost more and need dry storage;
- Felt (woollen): warm and inexpensive, they breathe, good for a cold floor;
- Terry and plush: light, soft, for summer and warm homes;
- Leather: holds its shape, suits an office or a porch;
- Boot-style slippers: cover the ankle, for a very cold floor.
Check the sole: a soft foam one wears out fast, and a firm rubber one lasts longer. A non-slip sole is especially needed on tiles and laminate.
Sheepskin slippers are best kept in a dry place and not dried on a heater. If you have a dog or cat at home, leather or smooth-material ones are handier, as hair is easier to remove from them.
What to put in your request

How to compare offers
Ask whether it is natural sheepskin or artificial fur: they look similar, but differ in care and warmth. Check the insole length, because slippers often have their own size range. For an order for a hotel or office, ask about the bulk price and the minimum batch.
On BlaBlaPrice sellers reply to your request in the chat. They can see where they stand among the others, so they compete for your purchase on price, delivery and guarantees. The best-value offer is shown first, with reviews of the seller next to it. See how it works on the “How it works” page.
Common mistakes
People buy the cheapest ultralight ones, and the sole wears through in a season. They do not check the size, and the slippers sit loose on the heel or squeeze the toes. They wash sheepskin in hot water by mistake, and it shrinks.
To go with the home set, you can add sandals and slides for summer or loafers and slip-ons for going out.
