Felt Over Slippers: Floor Protection for the Home, Guests, Businesses and Care Facilities
Welcome to our felt over slipper category. If you are looking for an uncomplicated way to protect floors from dirt and scratches, you have come to the right place. Our over slippers are designed as shoe covers: simply slip them over street shoes or work shoes and walk cleanly through living or business areas, without having to take your shoes off.
Whether as museum slippers, castle slippers, over slippers for work shoes or for guests at home: at Pantoffelmann you will find single pairs as well as practical sets (for example 5-pair sets), depending on the model and your needs.
Versatile in use: museums, trades, visitors and everyday life
Over slippers are particularly popular when sensitive floors need protecting, for example from small stones in the sole tread that would otherwise cause scratches. That is exactly what our felt shoe covers are made for: they reduce the dirt carried in and help protect floor coverings in living and business areas.
Over slippers are also practical in the trades: anyone who has to enter indoor rooms quickly in work shoes (depending on the model, also with steel toe caps) can simply wear the covers over them, saving time and protecting the floor. Which places of use are particularly worthwhile is explained in our guide over slippers in use.
Material and comfort: felt or boiled wool, slip-on and easy care
Many models are made of felt or boiled wool and are designed as slip-ons, so they are quick to put on and take off. Felt is considered robust, absorbent and breathable, which makes it suitable for different seasons, for example with wet shoes in winter or over open shoes in summer.
Please note: material details can vary depending on the article (for example boiled wool or felt, and for some models felt is also listed as 100 percent polyester). Always refer to the respective product description.
Care note (depending on the model): for some articles, for example, a gentle hand wash below 30 degrees with a brush is specified.
The right sole: felt sole, rubber sole or ABS dots
Depending on where they are used, the sole is decisive. In this category you will find different versions depending on the model:
- Felt sole: quiet, gliding and gentle on floors, ideal for sensitive floors.
- Rubber sole or anti-slip rubber sole: more sure-footed, robust and practical when more grip is needed.
- Felt sole with or without ABS dots: depending on the model, optionally with additional slip resistance thanks to ABS dots.
This way you can choose over slippers to suit the floor (for example wood and laminate or tiles) and the use (visitors, trades, museum).
Sizes and sets: up to size 46 or XXL 47 to 50 (depending on the model)
For over slippers to really fit over the shoe, size plays a major role:
- For some models, the covers are described as fitting up to size 46 with average width and average instep.
- Other articles offer a size selection such as M (36 to 40), L (41 to 46) and XXL (47 to 50).
- Depending on the product, there are also sets (for example 5-pair sets), practical for visitors, businesses or facilities.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about over slippers
Which size should I choose, especially for work shoes?
For normal street shoes, follow the size information of the article. For bulkier shoes such as work shoes, models that are explicitly designed for work shoes or are generously cut make sense. Depending on the product, there are versions up to size 46 or also XXL 47 to 50.
Are the shoe covers washable?
That depends on the model. For some articles, for example, a gentle hand wash below 30 degrees with a brush is specified. Please always follow the care instructions on the respective product.
What is the difference between felt sole, rubber sole and ABS dots?
The felt sole is very quiet, gliding and gentle on floors. The rubber sole offers more sure-footedness and robustness and is often described as an anti-slip sole. ABS dots provide additional slip resistance depending on the model.
Are there separate over slippers for women and men?
Many models are designed as unisex, what matters is choosing the right size.
Do I have to take off my street shoes with over slippers?
No, that is exactly what over slippers are for. They are worn as shoe covers over street or work shoes so that you can walk cleanly through living or business areas without taking off your actual shoes.
For which places are over slippers particularly useful?
Over slippers are suitable for the home and guests as well as for museums, castles, trades and businesses. They are particularly useful wherever sensitive floors need protecting from dirt, small stones in the sole tread and scratches.
Are over slippers only available as single pairs or also as sets?
Both. In this category you will find single pairs as well as practical sets, for example 5-pair sets. This is particularly useful for visitor areas, businesses or households with frequent guests.
