After a long day at work, what could be better than unwinding in front of the TV, sipping herbal tea, and spending time with your family? But let’s not forget — our feet need a break too, after a day spent in stiff, structured shoes. Slipping into a pair of slippers isn’t just practical and comfortable — it also comes with plenty of benefits.

Socks may be small, but they can make a big difference in your daily comfort. From staying warm in winter to keeping cool in summer, or adding a subtle touch of style — the fabric you choose matters. Wool, cotton, bamboo, silk, or linen: each material brings its own benefits depending on the season and your needs. In this article, we guide you through everything you need to know to pick the perfect pair — whether for men or women, sporty or stylish, classic or eco-conscious.

Why is wool so warm? Its curly fibers trap air, creating a natural barrier against the cold. The result: soft, breathable warmth—even in the heart of winter.

To keep our feet warm, we tend to opt for comfortable slippers. However, sometimes our slippers cause feet to sweat which can be uncomfortable, transmit bad odors and even encourage the development of bacteria. So, which slipper to choose so as not to sweat and stay pleasant and comfortable at home? Whatever the season, sweaty feet are always unpleasant. When you sweat, the sweat remains trapped in the shoes and causes all sorts of inconveniences for the wearer.

Among the many essentials on your shopping list, one item stands out: slippers. And not just any slippers — the right pair will ensure both comfort and support throughout the day.

From charentaise-style to ballerina or sock-style slippers, there are many types to choose from. But for babies taking their very first steps, it's especially important to opt for slippers that offer excellent foot support. At this key stage of development, their little feet need structure, flexibility, and comfort to move safely and freely.

When we're looking to relax at home, it's common to slip on a pair of slippers or slippers to keep our feet warm and comfortable. Although these two terms are often used to describe the same pair of shoes, they are actually different.

Although espadrilles are known for their durability, they still require proper care. Unlike other types of shoes, cleaning them demands special attention. Each part of the espadrille should be cleaned separately, and it's crucial to avoid machine washing or soaking them in water, as this can shrink the rope sole and compromise its flexibility. So, how should you clean your espadrilles?

Originally from the Basque Country, espadrilles are lightweight canvas shoes with a braided rope sole, combining comfort and effortless style. A staple in men’s fashion, they suit every look — from relaxed vacation outfits to refined citywear, and even laid-back bohemian styles. Whatever your vibe, espadrilles are the perfect finishing touch.
