About Us
Slouchers were created by best friends and husband and wife team Faye & Steve who have worked in online retail since 2002. Our experience spans many areas from manufacturing and retail to e-commerce, apps and more.
Comfort was always key to them as they spent many more hours working when home (anyone that works from home knows how true that is).
Steve usually wore trainers or walked around in leather flip flops. Faye would buy him slippers every Christmas as a filler and he never wore a single pair. Faye would go through standard slippers almost monthly and they never quite ticked all the boxes. Slippers that were mules were often far too slack to go up and down stairs in. Full slippers never did quite fit properly, often stiff and even scratchy in some cases. The soft-sole ones had the disadvantage of wearing thin under sole and getting holes, and became baggy after a week or two, nor can you pop out in the garden without them becoming saturated. They all just lacked that thing that made them your new best friend!
Talking of best friends... we all have that friend that cannot find their size. This is especially true in the case of ladies with larger feet or men with smaller feet. So Slouchers also don't have a definite size marker for ladies and gents. The design suits both men and women and a lady size 10 can wear Slouchers in the same way that a man size 6 can.
At this time we only go up to size 12 men's but do intend to increase sizes and expand colours - with that in mind, do let us know what you want... want size 11 pink? - tell us! We want to know this.
Many people literally live in slippers or their chosen house shoes these days and feet are very important. Yes, we can buy slippers much cheaper a few times a year, but that just doesn't seem sensible unless you have a favourite that you keep buying, but through our research we found that wasn't the case at all. Most people spent 40-50% more in a year than the cost of one pair of Slouchers that will last you longer. Our Slouchers have been trialled by young, middle aged, old, athletes, males, females etc and the feedback we got was amazing. Not one person did not love the style, comfort and other benefits of Slouchers.
So, Faye and Steve thought there was a solution but, for them, it definitely did not come in a synthetic baggy or lack-lustre style run of the mill slipper. This is true for many. As a society we want to look good opening the front door to the delivery man or when a friend calls for a cuppa. We want comfort inside and out and style. We want class, elegance, convenience and we want mules and slippers at different times. They have to look good in a dress or with your jeans on. We want to wear them in the garden. We also want a good natural material that has longevity and we want something that we actually want to wear. We want a lot now and we want to tick as many boxes as possible.
