The topic of “saving energy” is on everyone’s lips, and it’s not just utility companies offering energy-saving tips—politicians and television presenters are also listing ways to reduce electricity and gas consumption. They talk about using washcloths instead of showers, fluffy draft excluders in front of old doors, lowering roller shutters at the first hint of dusk, and installing new thermostats on radiators.
Even if your home is a few degrees cooler than usual, you don’t have to freeze. The right clothing and—especially—warm footwear are what matter. Cold feet can even lead to a higher risk of catching a cold, as demonstrated by a scientific study from Cardiff University*. So you need good slippers!
There are several things to consider when choosing the right slipper. Two particularly important criteria are that the slipper should be comfortable and soothing. BÄR shoes also offer maximum comfort at home. When it comes to the sole, you can choose between a thin sole that allows a soft, flowing rolling motion and a thick sole with strong cushioning and good insulation against the cold.
Speaking of cold: A good range of slippers should offer a wide variety of materials to suit your individual needs: The natural wool felt in the TOVFEL model provides a balanced foot climate in both summer and winter. The slipper MADY delights with synthetic fur made from textile lining and keeps your feet wonderfully warm. The ELLEN-COZY slipper made of calf suede with woven lambswool lining is the very embodiment of a cozy chalet atmosphere. Most slippers have a footbed made of textile lining, as in the DELI slipper, to make them especially soft and comfortable to wear. Other shoes feature woven lambswool lining or calf leather. The ELLEN-COZY has a woven lambswool lining, while calf leather in the ELLEN shoe also keeps your feet wonderfully warm. Most footbeds are removable, so you can also insert your own insoles, for example. Incidentally, open slippers can also keep your feet warm if they have the right footbed.
