5 Great Reasons to Wear Slippers

If you are wondering why you should wear slippers at home, read these 5 simple reasons.

1 – Slippers really reduce the risk of catching a cold or flu

It’s no longer just an old wives’ tale: experts warn that cold feet can actually increase your risk of catching a cold or flu . Dr Ron Eccles, director of Cardiff University’s Common Cold Centre, has been studying the issue for over 25 years and explains that when your feet are cold, it changes the way your body is able to fight off illness.

“Cooling your feet causes the blood vessels in your nose to constrict. The vessels constrict, it’s a protective reflex action that slows down the loss of heat from your body, to try to keep you warm,” he explains. “Your skin turns white, the inside of your nose and throat turns white and blood flow to your nose is reduced. The white blood cells that fight infection are in the blood, so there are fewer white blood cells to fight the virus.”

The cold also slows the movement of the tiny hairs in your nose that filter out germs, which can also increase your risk of developing cold-weather illnesses.

Here, cozy slippers will keep your feet warm and relaxed, just like your vessels!

2 – Slippers keep your house clean

The soles of the shoes you wear outside are dirtier than a toilet seat. They contain feces, vomit, dirt, grime, and millions of bacteria that have a 90% chance of transferring to your home's floor if you don't take your shoes off before you enter. It's not very glamorous, but to avoid getting grime on your floors, make sure to take your shoes off before entering the house and only wear slippers inside.

3 – Wearing slippers can make you more productive

Numerous studies have shown that relaxed workers are more productive.

When you're cold, your body tenses up, so there's nothing more relaxing than a good pair of warm, fluffy slippers . Slip your feet into a pair of fluffy slippers and you can telework in peace.

Now all you have to do is organize your tax documents, update your resume, balance your checkbook, or start that novel you've always wanted to write.

4 – Slippers extend the life of your socks

Socks wear out much faster if you wear them around the house and walk around on the floor with them. Plus, we know how hard it is to keep your sock supply afloat, especially when you find yourself with an orphan sock all too often. You know, that mystery of the sock that disappears for no reason…

Give your wallet a break by wearing slippers with or without socks when you're indoors.

5 – Slippers can prevent household accidents

Wood, tile, and linoleum floors can be slippery, especially if you're wearing socks. Most slippers have a non-slip sole, like the PET felt at Caussün, which can significantly reduce the number of trips and falls that seem to happen when you're rushing to answer the phone, open the door, get out of the shower, and do a multitude of other things around the house.
