The slipper has long carried a rather homebody image. Well chosen, in leather or suede, it nevertheless becomes an elegant object, worn at home as well as when travelling. Here is what distinguishes a good men's slipper, and how to keep it looking good for years.
What is a men's slipper?
A slipper is a soft, light indoor shoe, worn at home to rest the foot after a day in shoes. With us, it takes its place among our leather goods, alongside our belts and our travel bags: an object designed to last.
Closed slipper, mule, charentaise: what are the differences?
The closed slipper wraps the whole foot, heel included: it is the warmest and most stable form. The mule leaves the heel free and slips on without hands, at the cost of less support. The charentaise, born in the Charente region of France, is traditionally made of felt and wool.
Cinderella's slipper
In the tale published by Charles Perrault in 1697, Cinderella loses a "little glass slipper". In the 19th century, Balzac maintained that this was a transcription error: the slipper would have been made of vair, a squirrel fur. Scholars of the tale today lean towards glass, chosen by Perrault for its touch of the marvellous.
How to choose slippers for men?
A good slipper is chosen on three criteria: a material that lets the foot breathe, a sole that cushions and does not slip, and a shape that holds the foot without squeezing it. Style comes afterwards, according to your indoor outfits.
| Type of slipper | Usual material | Foot support | Season | Main advantage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leather closed slipper | Smooth leather, leather lining | High, heel held | All year round | Durable, easy to care for |
| Suede closed slipper | Suede, leather lining | High, heel held | Autumn, winter | Softness and warmth |
| Charentaise | Felt, wool | Medium | Winter | Very warm |
| Mule | Leather, velvet, wool | Low, heel free | Mid-season | Slips on without hands |
Leather or suede
Smooth leather withstands wear well and is cleaned with a wipe of a cloth; it develops a patina over the years, especially in brown. Suede, velvety, is softer to the touch and warmer to the eye. In both cases, a natural leather lining lets the foot breathe and stays pleasant in every season, whereas a fleece lining quickly becomes too hot.
A sole that cushions and grips
A sole that is too thin tires the foot on a hard floor; a smooth sole slips on waxed parquet or on the stairs. The In Corio comfort of Charles answers both faults: with its thick, non-slip sole, it cushions every step and ensures good support on smooth floors.
The right size
Take your usual shoe size, that of your town shoes. If you are hesitating between two sizes, choose the larger: a slipper is often worn with thick socks in winter.
Why give leather slippers?
Leather slippers make a gift that is at once useful, lasting and personal: they are worn every day, they develop a patina over time and remind the wearer who gave them. With their matching case, they also go travelling.
To choose well, look at the shoes he already wears. If he likes classic outfits, black leather will be a safe choice; if he prefers warm tones, brown leather. As for the men's size guide, his town shoe size is enough, and exchanges remain free in case of error.
Charles concentrates the In Corio spirit, a French house founded in 2018 whose name means "in the leather" in Latin: among the different types of shoe leather, soft Italian suedes, a natural leather lining and a sole designed for comfort. We apply the same standards as to our town shoes, made in the Porto region, and the same fair price, made possible by selling without intermediaries.
How to care for your leather and suede slippers?
Leather slippers are cared for like shoes, only more simply: a little air, a brush and a cream from time to time are enough to keep them looking good.
- Let them air for a few hours after wearing, away from a radiator, which would dry out the leather.
- Dust smooth leather, then nourish it with a colourless nourishing cream every few weeks.
- Brush suede dry, in the direction of the nap, to restore its appearance.
- When travelling, store each slipper in its case to protect the rest of your suitcase.
