Questions people ask before they buy
What size should I take? There are no half sizes.
Sizes come in pairs: 5–6, 7–8, 9–10, 11–12. Take the pair your usual size falls in. Between two pairs, take the larger — an open toe forgives a little room, and a toe over the edge is the one thing you will notice. Wide foot or high instep: the larger pair, because the straps do not adjust. The label inside reads the European pair (38-39 for a 7–8): same size, different number. If it still lands wrong, a person swaps it inside thirty days.
Will the fur wear off?
Curly faux fur is polyester pile, and pile flattens where a foot rubs it — the toe band and the footbed first. We do not promise it never sheds. We promise thirty days: if a pair comes apart, it is replaced or refunded in full and we won’t ask you to ship it back.
Do they stay on? Do they slip on tile?
Two straps — one over the toes, one over the instep — hold the foot the way a sandal does. That is the whole point of the second strap: a one-band slipper floats, a two-strap one is held. Underneath, a textured sole that sits low to the ground, so the foot stays flat on the stairs. On a wet floor no slipper is a safe bet — dry feet, dry tile.
Are they too hot? Will my toes be cold?
Open toe, plush around the rest of the foot — so they are warm in a heated house without turning into a furnace. Which also means your toes are out. If your toes are the part of you that gets cold, a closed slipper will serve you better, and we would rather you knew that before it arrives.
How thick is the sole? Is there arch support?
Low to the ground — about 2.5 cm (1 in) at the heel, no rise under the arch — with a sponge midsole. It is a house shoe, not an orthopedic one: no contoured arch, no platform. If you want height or a molded footbed, this is not it.
Are the colors true to the photos? Does the black rub off?
The names are plain: Cream is a warm off-white, the lightest of the four, Coffee a light latte brown, Gray a pearl gray, Black is black — and the pile is the same on all four. If the one that arrives is not the one you saw, tell us and we swap it. If the Black or the Coffee ever shades your bare feet, tell us too — that is what the thirty days are for.
Can I wash them?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry, away from heat. Never the washer, never the dryer, never hot water — heat is what flattens pile, on any fuzzy slipper.
Can I wear them outside?
To the mailbox, the porch, the driveway, the trash cans — yes, that is what a real sole is for. For errands and sidewalks, no: it is a house shoe, and the open toe and the pile will tell you so on the first wet day.
Can I return or exchange them?
Yes — thirty days from the day they land on your doorstep. Wrong size, wrong color, changed your mind: tell us and a person sorts it out. Anything damaged or defective is replaced or refunded in full, and we won’t ask you to ship it back.
