Slippers


A slipper or houseshoe is a semi-closed type of indoor/outdoor shoe, consisting of a sole held to the wearer's foot by a strap running over (or between) the toes or instep. Slippers are soft and lightweight compared to other types of footwear. They are mostly made of soft or comforting materials that allow a certain level of comfort for the wearer. This can range from faux fur to leather.



There is also a sizing issue, as novelty slippers do not usually come in individual sizes, merely a sizing guide. This can cause issues when trying to find a pair that fit properly. Also, the sheer size of the slippers can cause issues when walking. Most styles of slipper offer too little or no support for the tender arch of the human foot. This is essential to children, whose young feet are still developing. The lack of support can allow the foot to roll inwards during walking, which can cause many health issues.
