Now is the perfect time to review your supplier for Velcro-fastening slippers, ideal for hospital patients and those supported in the community. As these slippers are not listed in the NHS Supply Chain catalogue, we are here to help by providing them in both small and large quantities. Many hospitals are transitioning away from slipper socks to more supportive and durable options—exactly where our hard sole slippers excel.

If your falls service team is planning a falls awareness day or a series of events, we can assist by offering a carefully selected range of slippers proven to make a difference. Our products are chosen for their durability, slip resistance, availability, and affordability, ensuring they stay within your budget. Many of our slippers are perfect for seniors, featuring easy-to-use Velcro (hook-and-loop) adjustable straps that simplify putting them on or taking them off. Simply get in touch with us to discuss your requirements or access further information about our slippers tailored for falls prevention projects. If you're seeking a solution to procurement challenges, partnering with us is likely to resolve them. We’ve successfully supported many public health teams and Age UK slipper exchange programs with these products, making our expertise a valuable resource for your event.

Regions implementing slipper swap schemes have reported falls reduction rates of up to 80%. This simple yet effective idea involves replacing worn-out slippers with new, supportive, adjustable, and safe options featuring Velcro straps and hard soles. One health authority, along with their clinical nurse advisor, noted a significant drop in falls rates in the months following the introduction of these slippers compared to prior months. For just a small investment, hospital trusts can save money while giving patients confidence in their footwear.

The importance of footwear designed to prevent falls within the home is now widely recognized. We offer a comprehensive range of slippers and house shoes specifically crafted to meet these needs. For instance, some of our products feature a supportive back counter to enhance stability, alongside durable soles suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Many slippers in our collection also come equipped with adjustable Velcro straps, allowing for easy access and optimal customization—particularly helpful for individuals with swollen feet. Since feet tend to swell throughout the day, these adjustable straps ensure a comfortable and accommodating fit at all times.

The slippers we stock are carefully selected for their wider and deeper fit, offering more room than typically available in retail stores. Their uppers are flexible yet firm, minimizing the risk of toe abrasions while providing comfort. Made from soft fabric, these slippers are well-suited for individuals with swollen feet or bunions, ensuring a gentle and accommodating fit.

Regions that have introduced slipper swap schemes have reported a remarkable reduction in falls—up to 80%. The concept is simple: replace old, worn-out slippers with new, supportive, and safer options featuring adjustable Velcro or hook-and-loop fastening straps. One health authority noted a significant drop in fall rates in the months following the provision of these slippers compared to the months prior. For a modest investment, public health departments can save money while providing patients with safe and reliable footwear that enhances their confidence when walking.

We find that the Slipper range we offer is very popular with public health professionals in the community care sector and the experts at Age Uk along with NHS procurement departments. We choose styles suitable for the elderly  or those being served by falls projects in community development schemes. These velcro slippers are stylish, comfortable, wide fitting and offer good stability to the wearer. They are produced with a rubber sole offering less chance of the wearer slipping due to inferior sole material. It is an established fact that many slippers used by the elderly are ill fitting and well worn, so these wide fit slippers with velcro straps are an ideal solution at a sensible price. There are of course many factors causing falls within the home, but good house shoes or slippers are certainly a first step in preventing accidents in the home, especially for the elderly.
