What makes the best slipper?

Let’s have a look…

When you get into your house / flat / apartment / shed / or wherever you reside what’s the first thing you do? This of course is after the dog has come bounding towards you all excited that you are home. So after the licks and love from the canine and saying your hello’s my first thing to do is to take off my shoes and change immediately into my cosy sheepskin slippers.

This of course brings me immediate comfort and an unconscious knowledge that I’m home.

So I think we have the first item on the list.

1. Owning a pair of slippers preferably sheepskin.

Did you know that sheepskin actually moulds to your feet? Unlike faux fur it also helps your feet to breathe. So have we found another good point of what makes the best slipper.

2. A slipper should mould to your feet.

And yes we have another… My feet are always hot, so when I take off my shoes I need them to breathe.

3. A slipper should keep your feet at the right temperature and let them breathe.

I personally spend more time in my sheepskin slippers than any other footwear. So they must be machine washable.

4. A slipper must be machine washable.

I find that one tends to get rather close to the possessions they use the most. How terrible would it be for something you love only to last a week or so. I know I’ve bought clothes from certain (no name mentioned) budget department shops worn it once, bung it in the wash only to find the damn thing ruined and never to be worn again.

5. A good slipper must last.
