It’s that time of year again.
You may have noticed the nights are drawing in, the temperature is dropping and Christmas adverts are beginning to appear on your television screens.
Whether you’re embracing autumn or mourning hot girl summer, there’s no denying that your wardrobe is going to need a bit of a makeover. While it’s not quite time to take your big winter coat out of hiding, you might want to start paying attention to your feet.
The feet play a vital role in regulating body temperature, and keeping your feet warm helps to redistribute the heat.
Big fluffy socks and slippers are a great way to keep them warm, but for the transitional months, house shoes might just be the answer.
What are house shoes?
They're generally a cross between a slipper and the slider shoe. With the clue being in the name, they're comfy footwear to lounge around the house in. As loads of online retailers like Missguided and ASOS are stocking them, you'll look glam when you answer the door to sign for all your deliveries.
While they’re recommended for indoor use, if you’re brave enough to venture out in them, their soles allow for some level of protection against the ever-changing British weather.
Whether you’re wearing them to bring in your weekly shop or kicking back for some much-needed R&R, our selection of house shoes has got you covered.
