Slippers are light footwear that are easy to put on and off and are intended to be worn indoors, particularly at home. They provide comfort and protection for the feet when walking indoors. A slipper is a kind of indoor shoe that slips easily on and off your foot. You may prefer to walk around barefoot unless it’s really cold, in which case you wear slippers.Flip-flop type slippers are the best as they are easy to slip on and also provide good support and comfort to the feet. You can also buy slippers designed for acupressure comfort. Many slippers that come with medical soles are also good options. However, footwear goes far beyond the apperance that a shoe has on the foot. Bad footwear can cause injuries or have long term effects on our posture so investing in a quality pair will be beneficial in the long run. Consider your feet as the base of a building, if the foundation is off the rest of the building is off

Types of slippers include:

• Open-heel slippers – usually made with a fabric upper layer that encloses the top of the foot and the toes, but leaves the heel open. These are often distributed in expensive hotels, included with the cost of the room.
• Closed slippers – slippers with a heel guard that prevents the foot from sliding out.
• Slipper boots – slippers meant to look like boots. Often favored by women, they are typically furry boots with a fleece or soft lining, and a soft rubber sole. Modeled after sheepskin boots, they may be worn outside.
• Sandal slippers – cushioned sandals with soft rubber or fabric soles, similar to Birkenstock’s cushioned sandals.
• Evening slipper-  also known as the “Prince Albert” slipper in reference to Albert, Prince Consort. It is made of velvet with leather soles and features a grosgrain bow or the wearer’s initials embroidered in gold.
