Slipper checklist you should know 🧦
❄️ Winter often means cosy slippers but wearing the right ones can do more than warm your toes, keeping feet and joints a little happier 🦶🏻
Here are some things to look for:
✅ A heel cup (not mules). Having a closed back helps keep your foot in place. We don’t always have perfect gait walking round the house, but let’s keep the shuffling to a minimum, a heel cup helps prevent this and gives extra stability.
✅ A non-slip sole can help prevent trips, slips and falls
✅ Some structure or arch support can help if this is something you find helpful in your regular day to day shoes and with certain foot conditions. If you can’t find a specific orthotic pair you can always pop an orthotic in a regular pair as I have here.
✅ Cushioning - soft but supportive padding absorbs some of the impact of walking on hard floors
Remember if you need specific advice you can always ask your local podiatrist. 👍🏻
Good slippers are more than just fluffy but can really help with all those indoor everyday steps! 👣
