Dog Slipper Socks For Women, Not For The Dog
Worth saying first, because the phrase covers two different products: Bayshore Ivy goes on your feet. A good share of what sits beside it is grip socks made for a dog to wear on hardwood. These are dog slipper socks for women, a plush sherpa sock with a sculpted puppy sitting on the toe, and they will not fit a dog.
Four colourways carry the same face: Caramel, Mocha, Cocoa and Cream. The wider range of dog slippers for women sits in Pet Wear and Carry.
The Face Is Sculpted, Not Printed Flat
This is the difference you are paying for. Most dog socks carry the animal as a print, an embroidery or a knitted-in pattern, sitting flat against the fabric. Ours is sculpted. The muzzle stands off the toe, the ears sit up, and it reads as an object rather than a picture of one.
That construction costs several times what a flat printed puppy costs, which is why these do not sit at the cheap end of the category. We would rather say so plainly than pretend the two are the same purchase.
Acrylic Sherpa, And How To Look After It
The pile
Soft acrylic plush sherpa, the same pile throughout. Sherpa names a construction, not a fibre, so to be clear: no wool, no cashmere, no shearling. Synthetic pile is what makes a sock this soft, and we would rather name the fibre than let a close-up photograph imply an animal one.
Care
Cold water, gentle, no bleach and no fabric softener, then air dry rather than tumble. Heat is what mats acrylic nap and flattens it for good. That is the fibre talking rather than a care label we can quote you.
One Size, And Exactly What It Fits
One size, cut to take a foot in the 35 to 40 range. Our women's shoe size chart puts 35-36 at a US women's 5 and 39-40 at a US women's 9, so that is the span. A sock stretches where a structured slipper cannot, which is what makes one size workable at all.
Above a US 9 we would not push it. If that is you, the closed Ridgemont Jade slipper is sized in ranges up to 43-44 and is the safer buy.
The Non-Slip Sole, And Where Not To Wear Them
A non-slip grip pattern runs across the sole. It is the first thing most buyers check on a slipper sock, and it is the reason to reach for these rather than ordinary thick socks on a wood floor or a tiled kitchen.
They are specified for indoor wear. Outside, a sock sole picks up everything it touches and a grip pattern wears off fast on concrete, so keep shoes by the door. Cold-floor mornings, the hour before bed, Sundays on the sofa. The wider line is in Cove Companions.
