Solz House Shoes in a Warm Climate
When we first started selling House Shoe slippers we were pleasantly surprised by the number of orders coming from the warmer states of Australia. This trend was mirrored as we started to get orders from all over the world.
Over time Ive been able to get feedback from House Shoe wearers in hotter climates and this is why they love there House Shoes.
- A lot of homes in hot climates have slate or tiled floors and many people like to have something on there feet for comfort when walking around the house. Cotton House Shoes are perfect for this.
- Air conditioning is common in hot climates so wearing Solz House Shoes keeps them comfortable.
- People who live in warmer areas also don't like to bring dirt and dust in from outside - taking off there shoes at the door and putting on Solz slippers helps to keep there house clean.

How Green are House Shoes?
When designing House Shoe slippers it was important to me to take into account Green issues.
Having natural "waste not want not" tendencies it was easy for me to apply Green Design principles to the design of House Shoes.
Along with the materials used in making House Shoes I also considered the life of the product, I didn't want to create a throw away product, but something that has the quality to last.
Cotton is perfect as a lightweight durable material for such a product - many of us have our favourite sweater or T-shirt made from good quality cotton that we love to wear. House S hoes are the same, the longer you have them the softer the cotton becomes the more the association with comfort and House Shoes is made.
The soles of the shoes are an interesting Green story - I was able to source foam that is perfect for the lightweight soles (durable and washable). Designated as industrial waste we are able to divert it from the waste stream and make good use of it. Seriously know one would ever notice the difference.
