If you are like many homeowners, you face an epic battle nearly every day that threatens to destroy the very fabric of your reality: people that refuse to take off their shoes while walking on the carpet! Maybe you’ve been guilty of stomping around in your shoes yourself, as hardly anybody likes taking off their shoes to walk around in their socks/stocking feet (which is an easy way to get not only your socks dirty, but to give the carpet that lovely ‘feet’ smell!) There’s a great solution out there in department stores and online shops today: slipper socks, the natural progression of footwear that combines the comfort of a slipper with the convenience of wearing socks!
Sure, it’s still an extra step to take off your shoes, and to put on slipper socks (depending on the foot gear you sport every day which may not work with them) but once you begin walking about in them it’s hard to go back to normal socks! The level of comfort and support provided by slipper socks is unrivaled, it’s like wearing mittens on your feet! Having slipper socks on hand will be an easy way to remember to take off your shoes (using the comfort of wearing them as an incentive to remember) while the thick knitted/woven material will prevent even the smelliest feet from passing a musty smell onto your precious carpets.
There are several other uses for slipper socks aside from the pure comfort of wearing them. Armed forces soldiers have long used slipper socks to aid in preventing blisters and other injuries on their feet during arduous physical training (featuring heavy marching, jumping, and running.) Distance runners use slipper socks for the same reasons, especially useful in lieu of having running shoes. Many podiatrists will recommend the use of heated slipper socks for treatment of various foot, ankle and toe afflictions, such as chronic aches due to tight footgear or awkward high heels.
Slipper socks are sturdy enough to wear outdoors, comfortable enough to wear to bed, and as simple to clean as regular socks. Compared to the limitations of real slippers (which can hardly ever be cleaned, especially not through the use of a washing/drying machine), slipper socks outperform it in every way. The socks are decidedly more comfortable, providing insulation for the entire foot, including the heel, ankle and lower leg. Slippers usually never reach past the ankle, and are often easily-worn out after a few months of use. Most slipper socks come equipped with ‘grippers’ on the soles, for good traction against solid floors. Slippers, on the other hand, easily come off of your feet and are prone to ‘sliding’ along solid surfaces. Not to mention the fact that most people wear socks with their slippers, using slipper socks just eliminates an extraneous layer of foot wear. Slipper socks are also a great alternative when you plan on staying inside the house for awhile, and in elderly care are easier for putting on/taking off when assisting someone to get dressed.
