Dear customers and friends, hello! As a manufacturer that has been focusing on slippers for many years, today we will not talk about orders or prices, but will share some interesting little knowledge about slippers with you~ After all, although slippers are small, they have a lot of knowledge!
What is the “ancestor” of slippers?
Slippers have a history of thousands of years! The first slippers originated in ancient Egypt. At the time, the noble people would wear sandals, woven from papyrus, which can be considered as the “ancestors” of slippers nowadays~ In Asia, there are also the Japan’s “straw sandals” (ぞうり) and China “wooden clogs” are the classic styles of slippers too!
Why are there holes in bathroom slippers?
It Is Not As Simple As “BREATH”. Our common EVA bathroom slippers all have small hole on the uppers.
Drainage and slip resistant: While bathing, water will flow away through the holes, bottom water accumulation, prevent slippage.
Lightweight and quick-drying: The hole design makes the slippers lighter, and it is easier to dry the slippers after getting wet.
(So, that’s what the holes in bathroom slippers are: “safety helpers”!)
The slipper culture between the different countries is so different!
Brazil: National shoes are flip-flops and some people even wear them to weddings!
Japan: Americans will be asked to remove their shoes upon entering a home — changing into slippers, as well — and there are even guest slippers and toilet slippers.
Nordic: In winter, the indoor heating is sufficient, and plush slippers are a must-have at home~
(It seems that slippers are not only shoes, but also a lifestyle!)
4. Can slippers also be "environmentally friendly"? Of course!
Many brands now launch slippers made of recyclable materials, such as:
EVA foam: recyclable, lightweight and durable.
Natural rubber: environmentally friendly and degradable, more comfortable to the feet.
Recycled materials: Recycle plastic bottles and waste materials to reduce pollution.
(Wearing a pair of environmentally friendly slippers is equivalent to throwing away one less plastic bag for the earth)
5. What is the "best life" of slippers?
Generally speaking, the "golden use period" of a pair of slippers is 6 months to 1 year, but if the following situations occur, it is time to change:
✅ The sole is worn flat (the anti-slip performance decreases, and it is easy to fall)
✅ The upper is broken (be careful of tripping!)
✅ Stubborn odor (bacteria breed, affecting health)
(So, don't wait until the slippers are "retired" before you are willing to change them!)
Easter egg: cold knowledge about slippers
The most expensive slippers in the world: the "rich slippers" inlaid with diamonds, priced at up to 180,000 US dollars! (But our slippers are more cost-effective, don't worry~)
Astronauts also wear slippers in the space station! It's just a special anti-floating style~
"Flip-flops" is called Flip-flops in English, because they make a "flip-flop" sound when walking!
