5 Reasons This Fuzzy Slipper Is the One You’d Answer the Door In

Summary:
Most of us believe a slipper is something you hide when the doorbell rings.

So it slaps off on the stairs, cooks your feet within the hour, and you end up barefoot on cold tile.

If you’ve ever kicked off your slippers halfway through a movie, you’re not alone.

A fuzzy two-strap slipper from Corfou — The New York Slipper — is changing that. Five reasons.

  1. The New York Slipper in Coffee, side view, both straps holding the foot mid-step

    It holds like a sandal

    The usual slipper has one band over your toes and nothing over the middle. So your foot slides, your heel lifts, and it slaps off on the stairs.

    This one has a second strap over the instep, the way a sandal does. The foot has nowhere to go.

    Couch, stairs, front door. Still on.

  2. The New York Slipper in Coffee, front view, toes out

    The open toe is the point

    A closed slipper in a house heated to 70 is a furnace by the end of the hour. So it comes off, and you’re back to bare feet.

    This one is plush around the foot and open at the toe. Warm where you get cold, open where you get hot.

    Warm through April. Never a furnace.

  3. The New York Slipper in Black on the doormat, shoes off at the door

    Answer the door. Get the mail.

    The doorbell, the mailbox, the trash cans, the dog. The moments a slipper usually makes you change shoes, or hide your feet.

    This one has a real sole underneath, textured and low to the ground, so the porch and the driveway are fine. It’s a house shoe, not a shoe.

    The doorbell rings and you just open it.

  4. The New York Slipper in Coffee, side view, the low textured sole

    Sandal outside, slipper inside

    Curly faux fur on the straps, plush lining under the foot. A sponge midsole, and a textured, rubber-like sole that sits low to the ground.

    Just over ten ounces a pair. Spot clean with a damp cloth, air dry, never the dryer.

    Four colors: Cream, Coffee, Gray, Black.
