Cotton slippers are a type of slippers, named after the presence of "cotton" in the materials used in their production. Its characteristics are soft texture for foot protection, comfortable to wear, and a soft, warm, and cute appearance.

Product introduction: With the continuous development of production technology, the functions and styles of cotton slippers are also constantly updated and upgraded every year. Today, cotton slippers have evolved from seasonal products to suitable soles for all seasons.

Materials used: The soles of cotton slippers can be roughly divided into TPR soles, EVA soles, dot plastic cloth soles, cloth soles, and PVC soles.

TPR sole is the most common sole, and the process is divided into TPR soft sole, TPR hard sole, and TPR side seam sole. There are also many common rubber soles, cow tendon soles, blow molded soles, and adhesive soles that can be classified under this category. The advantage of TPR bottom is its softness, waterproofing, and certain wear resistance.

The advantages of EVA sole are firmness, lightness, easy cleaning, comfort, breathability, softness, and rich color.

Many people find it inconvenient and waterproof to use a dot molded fabric bottom, but this type of bottom has excellent anti slip properties because its soundproofing effect is also used in many high-end hotels and hospitals.

There are many types of cloth bottoms, including suede, canvas, and mop down that can be mopped. Cloth soled slippers are suitable for wooden floors, soft and comfortable.

PVC is a process synthesized by wrapping a layer of leather around the bottom of EVA. The sole of the outer sewn shoes is mostly made of this material. Like plastic cloth soles, EVA soles, and cloth soles, PVC soles are also mostly used in Japanese and Korean slippers.

The fabrics used to make cotton slippers can be described as rich and colorful. The most common ones are coral velvet, long plush, short plush, suede, as well as dyed fabrics, velvet, fleece, cotton velvet, towel cloth, Korean velvet, cotton fabric, genuine leather, etc. In terms of style, in addition to the traditional "one foot kick", there are now new styles such as full wrap heel, half wrap heel, full wrap heel with low cut, full wrap heel with high cut, etc.

Down fabric cotton slippers are a new and popular type of cotton slippers in recent years. Due to the waterproof and thermal insulation properties of the down fabric itself, coupled with its high cut design, this slipper is particularly suitable for the elderly and southern consumers to use. Elderly people need to keep their ankles warm, and the full package and high top down cotton mop not only achieves a soft and lightweight use effect, but also effectively protects the ankles of the elderly. In the winter without heating in the south, the temperature at home still has a slight coolness compared to the north. This slipper can not only be used as a cotton slipper at home, but also has a good appearance design and thermal insulation performance, which can be worn during outdoor activities around the community.

Process flow:

Making paper patterns: Cut cardboard into paper patterns as the standard for the next step of making shoe soles and uppers.

Making shoe soles: stack the surface, cotton, hard lining, and sole cloth in sequence, then fix them around the edges, and place some crushed cotton in the middle while sewing.

Making shoe upper: Cut a piece of surface and an inner piece according to the pattern, and sew it with a layer of hard lining (which can be replaced by a hard cloth such as canvas). The shoe upper made in this way is more stylish and won't collapse.

Embedding: Sew the finished slope onto the finished sole of the shoe.

Complete processing: Roll the sole and upper together for a week, with the first stitch on the front of the shoe and the second stitch tightening and fixing the rolling strip on the back of the sole.

Health knowledge:

The Laboratory Department of the First Hospital of Jilin University once tested the cotton slippers used by 10 households, and the results showed that there were over 200 bacterial colonies on the slippers of 4 households. In real life, it has been found through surveys that nearly half of people are too lazy to wash their slippers frequently, and even 20% only wash them once every six months. Make slippers a true "bacterial stronghold". Harmful bacteria in slippers are mostly one of the main sources of disease transmission. Experts in indoor environment monitoring from the China Interior Decoration Association remind people that many people believe that slippers are worn at home and don't get dirty much, so they are too lazy to clean, which is absolutely wrong. Taking the most common cotton slippers as an example, if the feet come into contact with the shoes for a long time, they are prone to sweating. If not cleaned regularly, the warm, dark, and damp shoes become a gathering place for bacteria to breed and multiply. Long term wear can lead to diseases such as foot odor and athlete's foot, which can quickly spread to each other between families.

Experts suggest that after cleaning cotton slippers, it is best to expose them to the sun. The ultraviolet rays in the sunlight can kill many bacteria. Finally, use breathable packaging bags and try not to use plastic bags. In addition, if thorough cleaning cannot be done, it is best not to let the slippers exceed their service life. Basically, they should be replaced after three months of use.

Cotton slippers should not be mixed with guests

According to relevant survey data, in real life, only 59.3% of households have guest specific cotton slippers, and 40,7% of households mix cotton slippers with guests.

"Not providing customers with specialized cotton slippers is a harmful practice," said experts in environmental and health-related product safety research at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Cotton slippers are a place where bacteria thrive, most of which are harmful and one of the main ways of spreading diseases. If the feet have been in contact with the shoes for a long time, they are prone to sweating and may even get wet after taking a shower at home. The warm, dark, and damp cotton slippers have become fertile ground for bacterial growth and reproduction, which can cause foot odor and athlete's foot, which can be transmitted between households or to guests wearing your slippers. At the same time, the athlete's foot can also be transmitted to you through the slippers, so it is very dangerous for the host and guest to mix cotton slippers.

So experts remind everyone that preparing cotton slippers for guests is a wise move, while also paying attention to regular disinfection.
