Which indoor shoes should you choose for optimal comfort at home?

Support Technique

Your home is your haven – a space for relaxation and well-being where comfort comes first. And for head-to-toe comfort, choosing the right indoor shoes is essential! Much more than just slippers, they’re true allies for your foot health, body warmth, and cosy moments at home.

From classic cosy slippers to practical and stylish indoor clogs, this complete guide will help you find the perfect pair of indoor shoes – tailored to your needs, your lifestyle, and your desire for comfort at home.

Why is it important to wear indoor shoes?

Slipping on a pair of shoes dedicated to indoor use comes with several key benefits:

  • Enhanced comfort and support: Walking barefoot on hard floors can strain your feet and joints. Comfortable indoor shoes – especially those with an ergonomic sole – provide better cushioning, arch support, and protect you from the cold of tiled floors, helping you relax more easily.
  • Better hygiene: Indoor shoes act as a barrier against dirt and bacteria brought in from outside, helping to keep your home cleaner.
  • Warmth and well-being: Especially in winter, warm slippers – sometimes lined – help maintain a comfortable body temperature and enhance that cosy, cocooning feeling at home.

The different types of indoor shoes

The term "indoor shoes" covers a variety of models with different features:

  • Slippers: Often made from textile materials like felt, polyester or wool, slippers can be closed or semi-open. They focus on softness and warmth – just like our Homely models.
  • Slippers / Mules: Generally softer and lighter, often open at the heel (like mules) for ultra-easy slip-on comfort. Perfect for relaxed, laid-back moments.
  • Indoor clogs: More structured, with a thicker and more durable sole (often made of rubber), they’re suitable for limited indoor/outdoor use – like stepping out onto the terrace, balcony, or a small garden. They offer both comfort and practicality, just like our Stockholm clogs.

How to choose the right indoor shoes? Key criteria to consider

To find the perfect pair, take these factors into account:

  • Size and support: It all starts here! Choose the right size and a width that suits your foot. Indoor shoes should provide good support without feeling too tight or slipping as you walk – for optimal comfort and to prevent falls.
  • Materials: warmth, breathability, comfort

  • For winter: Opt for warm, insulating materials such as polyester felt, wool, or lined interiors.
  • For summer or if your feet tend to get warm easily: Choose breathable materials like cotton.
  • The insole can be made of cork (great for absorption) or soft textile.
  • The outsole is often made of rubber (for grip and durability) or felt (quieter, and suitable for indoor use only).
  • Our Blackfox models are designed to be versatile – perfect for use throughout the seasons, both indoors and for light outdoor wear.

  • Sole type: strictly indoor use or versatile wear?

  • Flexible sole (textile or felt): very comfortable and quiet, but for indoor use only.
  • Rigid sole (rubber): allows for short trips outside (like picking up the mail or watering plants), and provides more protection and durability. This applies to our slippers and clogs.
  • Some soles are ergonomic or orthopaedic, offering better arch support.

  • Ease of care: Always check the care instructions. Our models can be easily cleaned with soapy water and a sponge (do not machine wash).
