Padders Slippers in Ireland
Padders have been making footwear in Rothwell, Northamptonshire, since Thomas Groocock founded the company in 1914, and their "feelgoodfeet" philosophy has guided the brand since its launch in 1982. At The Shoe Horn in Skerries, Co. Dublin, we stock their ladies' slippers, and they're the ones we recommend first to anyone who needs a slipper that genuinely fits rather than one that simply looks cosy. Every pair is made on an EE fitting with a memory foam footbed, and many have touch-close straps so the slipper can be opened right up to go on and then adjusted to the foot. We offer free delivery on orders over €69 anywhere in Ireland, and free returns within 30 days on every order.
Why do we love Padders slippers?
We love Padders because they take slippers seriously. Plenty of slippers are made to look soft on the shelf; Padders are made to be worn all evening, every evening, by people who need them to fit properly. The adjustable straps, the extra width and the cushioned footbed add up to a slipper that stays comfortable whether your feet are at their best in the morning or a little swollen by the end of the day. They're also one of the few slipper brands customers come back to us to replace like for like.
What fitting are Padders slippers?
Every Padders slipper we stock is made on an EE fitting, which in the UK width system is a wider fitting than the standard D, for feet that need that extra bit of room. Styles such as the Hush, Camilla, Enfold and Hug add touch-close straps across the front, and the Enfold has a heel strap as well, so you can adjust the fit on the day rather than relying on the width alone. Our size guide explains the different fittings, and you'll find everything we stock in H and EE in our wide fit footwear (H & EE) section.
Are Padders slippers true to size?
Padders generally run true to size in length, so your usual size is the right place to start. Warm-lined styles such as the Hush and Repose can feel a little snug on the first wearing, and that's usually right — the lining and memory foam settle to your foot within a few days. If you're between sizes or unsure about a particular style, give us a call on 01 8490847 and we'll advise, and with free returns within 30 days there's no risk in trying a pair at home.
Which Padders slippers are the warmest?
The Hush and Repose are the ones to choose for the colder months. The Hush has a soft faux-fur lining and a touch-close strap, while the Repose is a closed slipper with a cosy textile lining that wraps the whole foot. Both sit on the same memory foam footbed as the rest of the range, so you aren't trading comfort for warmth.
Buying Padders slippers as a gift?
Slippers are one of the few gifts where the size really matters, and Padders are a forgiving choice: the EE fitting and adjustable straps cover a lot of feet. If you'd rather leave the choice to them, our gift voucher works across the whole shop, and returns are free within 30 days if you've guessed wrong.
