Men's slippers
Slippers have been in our wardrobe for a very long time. They began to be used in ancient Russia. For the manufacture of the first slippers, a variety of materials were used, ranging from leather to various fabrics. And if we talk about today, then the attitude towards slippers, male or female, is very ambiguous. For example, people from abroad do not understand our habit of changing shoes when entering the house into slippers.
Room slippers in different countries
The attitude to slippers in the world is very different. Russia is similar to Japan in this respect. It is also customary to buy comfortable soft shoes for the house and change shoes immediately upon arrival.
In America and Europe, the opposite is true. There, not only slippers are not greatly revered, but they also walk around the house in the same shoes as on the street. This also allows the environment. The streets there are very clean, while Russia, with its harsh climate, cannot boast of ideal pavements. Constant slush, mud and snow force us to change shoes. That is why slippers in almost every home occupy a very honorable place.
