WHY SLIPPERS ARE BEST VS. ALL THE REST

Comfort. Coziness. Easy on the feet. There are plenty of reasons why slippers are better than the rest when it comes to footwear for the home. True, many slippers are good for some outdoor use, but our focus is on their many benefits for home use.

1. SLIPPERS KEEP YOU HEALTHY

Many experts agree that having cold feet increases your chances of catching colds or the flu. For some reason, chilly feet decrease your body’s ability to fight off illnesses and disease. Moreover, slippers protect against foot infections, unlike walking around your house in your bare feet.

2. WEAR SLIPPERS, KEEP YOUR HOUSE CLEAN

Most of us would cringe if we understood the number of bacteria, dirt, grime, and other nasty stuff that we drag into the house from the soles of your shoes. So, take your shoes off at the door and put on your slippers instead. You and your house will be better for it.

3. SLIPPERS PREVENT ACCIDENTS

Slip-sliding around your wood, linoleum, or tile floors is an accident waiting to happen when you’re wearing socks. Most slippers – at least the best ones – have slip-resistant soles that serve you well when you’re rushing to answer the door or to tend to a boiling-over pot on your stove.

4. COMFORT MEANS PRODUCTIVITY

It’s tough to tend to household tasks when your feet are freezing. Studies show that productive workers are relaxed workers, and nothing quite illustrates “relaxed” than a nice pair of warm, comfortable slippers.

5. SLIPPERS ARE LIFESAVERS FOR YOUR SOCKS

Tired of always having to buy new socks when your current ones develop holes in them? Well, wearing your socks around the home adds wear and tear, but slippers will give both your socks and your feet a break.
