FAQs: Stay Cosy and Comfy All Winter Long
Can you wash slippers in the washing machine?
Some slippers can go in the washing machine, but it depends on the material. Wool or cotton ones may handle a gentle wash, but steer clear with sheepskin or leather - these can shrink or lose their shape. Always follow the care label. Even if they’re machine-safe, air dry only, as heat can damage them. For truly long-lasting slippers, spot clean when you can. Find more cleaning tips here.
How do you keep slippers from smelling over time?
To keep slippers from smelling over time, let them breathe between wears and store them somewhere dry. A sprinkle of baking soda inside overnight works wonders - just shake it out or hoover it in the morning. Natural fibres like wool help too, as they’re breathable and resist odours naturally. Regular cleaning (according to the label) can keep them fresh for the long haul.
Are any cosy slippers safe to wear outdoors?
Yes, some cosy slippers are safe to wear outdoors, provided they’ve got a tough sole. Look for rubber or EVA soles with good grip - ideal for nipping out to the bins or popping to the corner shop. These hard-soled styles are a bit pricier, but they often outlast flimsier indoor pairs, giving better value over time.
What is the best type of slipper for long-lasting warmth and comfort?
The best type of slipper for long-lasting warmth and comfort is made from insulating naturals like wool or sheepskin. These materials keep feet toasty without overheating and naturally fend off smells. Go for designs with sturdy soles and strong stitching if you want them to last. Some even come with warranties or repair options. See how we choose the most durable products.
How do you clean the inside of sheepskin or fluffy slippers?
To clean the inside of sheepskin or fluffy slippers, use a soft brush to loosen dirt, then spot clean with a damp cloth and wool-safe detergent. Don’t soak them - sheepskin’s a bit fussy and doesn’t like getting soggy. Let them dry naturally, stuffed with paper to hold their shape. For more advice, our care and repair guide has you covered.
Do slippers typically stretch out with wear?
Yes, slippers typically stretch out with wear - especially if they’re made from wool, suede or sheepskin. A slight stretch can actually improve the fit, as they mould to your feet. But if they’re loose at the start, they may end up feeling like clown shoes. For a comfy long-term fit, start with snug (not tight) slippers and pick structured styles if you want them to keep their shape.
Which warm slippers are truly buy-it-for-life options?
Warm slippers that are truly buy-it-for-life options use tough materials like felted wool or leather, built with durable soles and strong stitching. Seek out pairs with resolable parts or a solid guarantee - some brands even offer repairs. With the right care, these slippers go the distance without a hitch, making them a sustainable and comfortable choice.
