Offering slippers is a delicate detail in Turkish hospitality tradition; When the father returns tired from work and enters the door, his slippers are prepared immediately; Booties are knitted as various slippers for the dowry of the newly born baby, the bride-to-be, various types of slippers such as bath slippers, balcony slippers, and even the cases where we know that ladies carry slippers in a small bag for their famous daytime sittings and neighbor visits...

 

Let's face it, the slipper models that both keep the feet warm and protect the feet in our homes where shoes are not allowed have a different place in Turkish culture. Well, since the use of slippers is so common in our country, what should be considered when choosing slippers? Here are the answers!

 

1) Choosing Slippers According to Your Foot Size

 

The first rule when buying slippers is to know your foot size.

Of course, the patterns that can change according to different shoe models such as sports, classic, heels can make it difficult to buy shoes of the same size every time.

What you need to do at this stage is to take a look at the numbers of similar slippers you bought before before shopping.

If you have recently gained or lost a significant amount of weight, your foot size may also change; You can also consider this situation. 

2) Selection of Comfortable and Orthopedic Slippers

 

If you have a job where you work long hours on your feet or if you are constantly using slippers at home, you should pay attention to choosing orthopedic slippers that are compatible with your foot structure.

If the slipper you are going to buy is a slipper that you want to wear for the street, that is, when you spend time outside, you should choose the most comfortable model possible, whether orthopedic or not.

Heeled, banded, rope and straw slippers models, which are the favorites of the last period, are quite eye-catching; however, you should make your choices in this direction by paying attention to your comfort as well as your appearance. So, when you are stuck between 2 models, you should choose the most comfortable one.

Otherwise, you may experience health problems such as chronic foot and ankle pain, calluses, and heel spurs.

Types of toe-banded or flip-flops are risky. It can hurt between the toes.

Flat soles or heels with bands only around the toe make it difficult to take a step; At this stage, you should pay attention to the presence of the wrist band. Such bands provide walking comfort.

Heeled slippers with zero toes on the ground may cause pain after a while during walking; wedge heel slippers are much more comfortable. 

3) Selection of Slippers from Breathable, Quality Material

 

Although the slippers you will buy are comfortable, orthopedic and suitable for your foot size, the quality of the material from which the slippers are produced is just as important.

Slippers, which are preferred especially in the hot days of summer, should be made of breathable material.

Otherwise, your feet will sweat in a short time, which will invite both slipping of your feet and foot odor.

In order to be affordable, using slippers with low material quality for a long time can adversely affect foot health. 

4) Trying, Testing While Choosing Slippers

 

Shopping for slippers and shoes is much more risky than other accessory choices; This is because shoes and slippers are produced in different molds.

These differences can lead to changes in the foot sizes that are memorized; that is, even if your feet are normally size 38, you may need to try 38.5 or 39 size while buying a slipper with a narrow fit.

Also, another important point is the time you tried on the shoes while buying them or your general health. How so?

If you have been walking and standing all day, your feet may be swollen, you may have edema in your body. This can lead to the misconception that foot sizes are at least half a size larger than normal.

In order to avoid this risk, you can start shopping by choosing slippers. 

5) Choosing Slippers That You Can Match With Your Combinations

 

When you aim for functionality when buying slippers or in general in all your shopping, you can organize a much more economical and long-lasting closet.

At this point, when buying slippers that you can wear outside, you can make choices in harmonious colors that are suitable for the general character of your clothes.

To more eye-catching slippers with your stylish combinations; You can turn to comfortable and elegant slippers with your sports and daily clothes.

If you have a guaranteed lifestyle, if you want to buy a useful slipper that does not go out of fashion quickly, you can choose classic, patternless and monochrome models out of the trend.
