Chosen by features such as durability, slip resistance, availability and a reasonable price to keep you within budget. Some slippers in the range are suitable for seniors, they are easy to put on and off because of the Velcro/hook and loop adjustable straps.

The need for footwear within the home that helps with preventing falls is now well established. We provide a large number of slippers/house shoes that have been designed with these needs in mind. For example some will have a supportive back counter to increase stability, while also having a hard wearing sole suitable for indoor or outdoor wear. Often these slippers will have adjustable Velcro straps, designed for easy access and maximum adjustment, really helpful for a swollen foot. Knowing that feet will often swell during the day the adjustable straps will help to accomodate this.
Many of the slippers we have chosen to keep in stock are wider and deeper than usually found in shops. The uppers are flexible yet firm so less likely to cause abrasions to the toes.

They are produced with a rubber sole offering less chance of the wearer slipping due to inferior sole material.
