Hotel slippers come in different materials.
1. TPR soles.
TPR is a thermoplastic rubber material. TPR soles can be made using various processes, including soft soles, hard soles, side-seam soles, rubber soles, tendon soles, blown-molded soles, and bonded soles. TPR-soled slippers are soft, waterproof, and wear-resistant.
2. EVA sole.
Made from a copolymer of ethylene (E) and vinyl acetate (VA), this material may seem unfamiliar to many, but frequent business travelers are familiar with it. Hotel slippers are generally made with this sole. EVA soles are durable, lightweight, and easy to clean.
3. Dot-molded fabric sole.
Dot-molded fabric is not very popular in China because many find it inconvenient and non-waterproof. However, its excellent anti-slip properties and quietness make it used in many high-end hotels and hospitals. It is soft, lightweight, and non-slip.
4. Cloth sole.
Cloth-soled slippers are suitable for wooden floors, are soft, comfortable, easy to clean, and can often be thrown directly into the washing machine.
5. PVC.
This is a process where an EVA sole is covered with a layer of leather and then synthesized. This material is also mainly used for sewing soles. Budget hotels usually use EVA soles, while mid-range and high-end hotels will choose TPR, PVC, and fabrics as soles for slippers according to their needs.
