Slipper Reviews and Buying Guide:We've all heard of the famous glass slipper that Cinderella wore or the ruby red slippers that Dorothy had on during the Wizard of Oz, but away from fantasy and back to reality for a moment. Slippers come in a variety of styles for comfortable wear around the house, bedroom, or even outdoors. Booties are boot-like slippers usually worn by babies or small toddlers. Moccasins are made from deerskin or soft leather and originated from the Native Americans. Scuffs are slippers that have no fitting around the heel and are often referred to as "open back slipper". Sheepskin slippers are very popular and usually have a wool muff that rolls down or up. Outdoor slippers often have hard soles and need to be weather treated for protection. Unlike regular shoes, slippers only come in 5 sizes (small, medium, large, extra large, and xxtra large) so make sure you check with the brands sizing chart for a direct translation to your shoe size. Slippers are meant to fit rather loose (floppy), so don't think you are going to buy the perfect fit slipper. Slippers are made from sheepskin, cotton, suede or leather. Keep in mind that people with sweaty feet will have a hard time with sheepskin slippers (take it from me).
Ballet Slippers:Nothing like having your daughter in a ballet class and seeing her in the beautiful tutu and ballet slippers. Ballet slippers are available in white, pink or black and cost from $10-$30. We suggest buying online from Discountdance.com with daily sales on all their inventory of ballet slippers. They carry Capezio, Bloch, Sansha, Dance Now, Grishko, and Leo's. The most popular are S1C by Sansha Original Canvas Ballet Slipper ($12.20), 205C by Capezio Child's Daisy Ballet Slipper ($12.30), S0203L by Bloch Split Sole Ballet Slipper ($20.90), CG2002 by Capezio Adult Professional Ballet Slipper ($20.99), S0277L by Bloch "Pump" Split-Sole Canvas Ballet Slipper ($13.90), DN960G by Dance Now Child's Leather Ballet Slipper ($9.30), 075 by Leo's "Airabesque" Canvas Ballet Slipper ($12.40), WCP by Grishko "Ultimate" Ballet Slipper ($13.30). Dancewearsolutions.com is another great Internet ballet shoe/slipper store with ballet slippers made from canvas and leather. Their top seller is the PG1010 by Balera Split-Sole Leather Ballet Slipper ($14.50). .
SheepSkin Slippers:Sheepskin slippers have always been popular, especially amongst women who like the warmth they provide. The new Womens High Top Deluxe Sheepskin Slippers ($129.99) - 10 inch high cuff keep more than your feet warm even on the freezing days. They are handmade from sheepskin and provide the ultimate comfort for both men and women. Both are made by Sundance. Other popular sheepskin slippers are the Old Friend Loafer Moccasins ($44.99), Old Friend Womens Scuff ($39.99) - huge color selection, Staheekum Scuff Slippers ($39.99), Old Friend Womens Clog ($39.99), and the Pakuna Sheepskin/Deerskin Slippers ($49.99). The cutest pair of sheepskin slippers we saw were the Old Friend Kids Loafer ($29.99) available in kids sizes and great at staying on your childrens feet. For an excellent selection, try shopping online at Sheepskin.com.
Man Slipper:Mens slippers are much better than they used to be than when I was growing up. I remember my Dad in the same old pair each year, seems like the selection was very limited. Now, men can select from different styles, colors, and materials - much like women have over the last few decades. The best selling mens slippers are the Radio Tyme Slip On Slippers by L.B. Evans ($39.98) - snug fit yet still comfortable, Klondike Slip On Slippers by L.B. Evans ($39.99) - my personal favorite, Aristocrat Opera Slippers by L.B. Evans ($54.98), Old Friend Bootee ($44.99), Minnetonka Double Bottom Soft Sole Moccasin ($59.99) - wear them anywhere, NothinZ Mens Breeze ($26.98) - not my style, but very comfortable and modern looking, Old Friend Terry Cloth Moccasins ($39.99) - probably the most popular style on the market for men. Hush Puppies makes some great mens slippers as well with their Admiral Slippers ($59.99) - oiltanned leather, Tyler Slippers ($59.99) - durable suede, great indoors or out, Mens college Clogs ($49.97), Cody Slippers ($59.99) and Dustin Slippers ($59.99) - easy to slipon and openback gives you plenty of circulation. .
