Slippers are not inherently aspirational items. They don't track your health metrics, and they rarely contain recycled ocean plastics. Most people don’t refer to them as "performance footwear" unless they're joking - or genuinely struggling to walk down stairs before coffee. Still, there’s a calm kind of luxury in buying something designed solely for puttering around your own home. House of Slippers, a UK-based footwear outlet with a name that doesn't leave much to the imagination, takes this premise and runs with it - albeit gently and in soft-soled comfort.
House of Slippers is not trying to reinvent the wheel, or even redesign it for arch support. The online shop is focused squarely on sourcing and selling slippers for people who have accepted that outdoor shoes do not belong inside - and may, in fact, be overrated altogether. Their digital storefront is beige, moderately informative, and refreshingly free from autoplay videos or intrusive pop-ups. Mercifully, there’s no mention of "rising and grinding." Just a wide range of well-known brands - Barbour, UGG, Skechers, Shepherd of Sweden - available at slightly more palatable prices thanks to the occasional discount code or mid-season sale.
At the time of writing, a decent cross-section of slippers is discounted by around 10–15 percent. For example, Barbour’s ELLIS suede mule slippers for women are marked down to £60 from £69.95. That’s still more than you’d pay for a supermarket fleece slip-on, but presumably less likely to collapse into a felt pancake after a month. These are for people who appreciate a little structure in their instep while watching Netflix or arguing about the kettle.
Shipping costs are refreshingly transparent. Standard delivery via Royal Mail or Evri sets you back £2.99, unless you spend over £30 - in which case, it's free. Express delivery is £3.99 and promises arrival in 1–2 working days, which is handy if your current pair has just lost its sole mid-toast. Returns are available within 30 days, and while the site doesn't go into operatic detail about the process, it reads like something designed by someone who has also experienced the purgatory of returning shoes via email form.
As a shopping experience, House of Slippers is quiet, polite, and moderately deferential - sort of like an overcast Sunday in knitwear. You’re unlikely to be accosted by marketing copy trying to tell you your life will change by buying plush moccasins. The most dramatic language you’ll encounter is the claim of "Over 1.7 million pairs sold," which could just as easily be a line from a very sleepy horror film. Naturally, this claim is impossible to verify without access to their sales ledger, but it's as good a metric as any for slipper-based trustworthiness.
Some categories grumble with overlap - there are 313 "Full Slippers" and 315 "Mule Slippers," which suggests the difference may be more philosophical than practical. And the occasional appearance of the word "luxury" feels slightly misplaced when it’s next to a £19.95 touch-fastened slipper that looks like it wants to be left alone with a crossword.
If you are in the market for slippers - and not in search of euphoric, life-affirming loungewear miracles - House of Slippers is a fine place to land. The site rewards practicality and a tolerance for modest aesthetics. Their sales are real, if not revolutionary. Delivery works, prices are visible, and nobody’s pretending a pair of grey suede mules is the future of personal mobility. Sometimes, that’s all you really need - and probably all you want.
