Slippers for elderly people are so important in ensuring they still enjoy their comfort and freedom without sacrificing on stability. The older we get, the more we rely on comfort for our feet, to see us through the whole day. There are numerous factors that you should consider when choosing your next pair of slippers for the elderly. Our guide is on hand to make the process easier, so you can provide yourself or a loved one a comfortable pair of slippers that are both warm and supportive. They even make great gifts for grandparents too!
THE IMPORTANCE OF NON-SLIP SOLES
One of the most important factors when buying slippers for elderly people is to check the soles of the slippers. Rubber sole slippers are a great choice as they provide a supportive grip that is vital for this age category. A supportive shoe allows this age group to feel comfortable throughout the day, knowing their slippers won’t restrict them doing any activities. A good style to choose is a slipper with non-slip soles and a backing for the heel. Slip-on slippers may be easy for this generation to apply but they can slide out right underneath us. Choosing a closed toe slipper which fits snug to your foot is always a great option.
You also need to check the condition of the soles regularly once bought, to ensure the grip is still sufficient on your slippers for the elderly. All of our slippers are made using natural rubber sole. This means the soles of our slippers for elderly are designed to provide excellent grip against slippery surfaces. It’s not just slippers for elderly that boast these soles! Our men’s slippers, women’s slippers and kids’ slippersall feature non-slip soles. Ensuring your whole family can relax and feel secure in their house shoes all day long.
WARM SUPPORT SLIPPERS
Warm slippers are vital for anyone during the cooler weather but more so for an elderly person.You want to feel well supported all while keeping your feet cosy. Our slippers with arch support allow just that. They help to align the foot and ankle in the right position to avoid any discomfort. Something many people don’t even realise is that they could have flat feet which means they lack a natural arch. In supportive slippers, the arch of your foot is supported with a foam insole which helps to stabilise your foot as you walk. This feature can be very beneficial in slippers for the elderly as mobility is often something that can be compromised.
The material of slippers for the elderly can also be a deciding factor. Our slippers are all made using soft virgin wool. Virgin wool hosts a range of benefits including being an antibacterial material. This means bacteria finds it hard to cling onto the fibre and multiply. Keeping the inside of your slippers for the elderly cleaner and more hygienic. Other benefits that this wool can provide are:
Breathability
Moisture wicking
Durable
Temperature regulating
Choosing a slipper made of virgin wool will keep your feet warm and cosy during the cooler evenings but cool and dry during the summer. Perfect for when you want to relax in the garden and admire the flowers with your morning coffee.
