How do I choose warm, comfortable slippers?

For warmth and comfort, plush and faux-fur slippers with a soft lining keep feet cosy, while a cushioned sole adds comfort on hard floors. Closed or mule styles trap more heat than open ones. For a cold home, choose a plush lined slipper; for easy on-and-off, a mule style is convenient.

What's the difference between mule slippers and full slippers?

Mule slippers are backless and easy to slip on and off, ideal for quick wear around the house. Full or closed-back slippers cover the whole foot for more warmth and a secure fit. Choose mules for convenience and airflow, or full slippers for maximum warmth and a snug feel on cold days.

How should slippers fit?

Slippers should feel snug and cosy without being tight, with enough room to be comfortable but not so loose they slip off, especially in mule styles. If between sizes, the smaller size usually stays on better. Plush slippers may feel firmer at first and soften with wear, moulding to your feet over time.

Do these slippers have non-slip soles for hard floors?

Slippers vary, so check the sole: a textured or rubberised sole gives better grip on tiles and wooden floors, reducing the risk of slipping. Plush slippers with a soft sole are cosier but can be slippery on hard floors. If you have hard floors or stairs, choose a style with a gripped, sturdier sole.

Are these slippers warm enough for a cold house?

Plush and faux-fur lined slippers are warm and cosy for a cold home, especially closed styles that cover the whole foot. Pairing them with warm socks adds extra heat on very cold days. For an unheated home in winter, choose a fully lined, closed slipper rather than an open or lightweight one.

How do I wash plush or faux-fur slippers?

Check the care label, as many plush slippers can be gently hand-washed or spot-cleaned rather than machine-washed, which can flatten the fur and affect the sole. Let them air-dry fully away from direct heat before wearing again. Washing gently and drying naturally helps keep them soft and in shape.

Should I choose open or closed slippers?

Closed slippers cover the whole foot for maximum warmth, best for cold weather, while open or mule styles are airier and easy to slip on, better for milder days or if your feet get too warm. For year-round use, many people keep a cosy closed pair for winter and a lighter open pair for warmer months.

How can I make my slippers last longer?

Wear slippers only indoors to protect the soles from outdoor wear and dirt, keep them dry, and air them out between wears. Spot-cleaning marks quickly and following the care label help keep them fresh. Rotating between two pairs, if you have them, lets each recover its cushioning and last longer.

Can I return slippers if they don't fit?

Yes, PEP accepts returns and exchanges of unworn footwear in line with its current returns policy, so try slippers on indoors on a clean surface and keep any packaging — check the latest conditions and time frame in-store or online. Keep your proof of purchase and return them unworn if the fit isn't right.
