What do you need from your slippers?

What do you need from your slippers?

There is something special about finding the perfect pair of slippers, there is nothing quite like sinking your feet into cosy slippers after a hard day on your feet, especially when it’s cold outside.

But what makes the perfect pair of slippers? We all have slightly different needs when it comes to this cherished comfort. As a slipper enthusiast, I’m eager to hear about yours! Here are some valuable insights we've gathered from some of our loyal slipper fans.

“I play lots of sport at the weekend and often come home with cold and wet feet in the winter. I love to put on my sheepskin slippers, grab my hot water bottle and curl up in front of the TV”

"I want slippers I can wear all the time, both indoors and outdoors. I love The Small Home Agnes Sheepskin Boots—they’re so comfortable, they literally bounce underfoot. Perfect for cosy days at home, running errands, or meeting up with friends."

"We have flagstone floors throughout our Sussex barn conversion, which are not only cold underfoot but also uneven, making it easy to stub your toe on the irregular edges. That’s why I wear my Small Home full Sheepskin Moccasins all year round—they’re wonderfully cosy and keep my entire foot and ankle warm."

"It means a lot to me that my slippers are handmade ethically and sustainably, with every stage of the process thoughtfully considered. I love The Small Home’s hand-knitted slippers—they’re not only functional but also a beautiful work of art. They’re the perfect house slippers for the colder months, especially here in Scotland."

“My The Small Home Sheepskin Mules are the envy of all my friends at boarding school, I love that they’re not only really comfy and warm, but they look really cool too!’

"I wear The Small Home Ella Sheepskin Boots and love that they have moulded sheepskin insoles to support the arch of my feet. I also like the hard rubber soles, so I can easily nip out to the garden or bins without damaging them."

"I’ve never been a fan of traditional ‘sloppy’ slippers and always avoided them. That changed when I was gifted a pair of The Small Home Sheepskin Mules. They don’t feel like typical slippers at all, they’re much more refined. I even find myself sometimes wearing them when guests are over, something I never expected!"

Helen, wears Venus Sheepskin Mules

“As a yoga instructor, I need slippers that I can easily slip on and off, and The Small Home Sheepskin Mules are perfect for that. They’re incredibly comfortable and effortless to wear. I have the Bird of Paradise design, which feels especially fitting since it’s also a yoga pose. I love the bright and colourful embroidery!”
