Nordikas 2630 Men's Felt Mule Slippers Backless House Shoes in Taupe

The Nordikas 2630 are men's felt house slippers, backless, with a soft lining and a flexible rubber sole, made to keep you comfortable and warm at home all day. We carry them at Calzados Vesga because they are one of the brand's most recognisable slippers for their balance of warmth, lightness and durability.

Technical Specifications

The felt slipper, simple and effective

Felt is a classic material in house slippers: it keeps you warm, is light and lets the foot breathe. The 2630 makes use of it in a simple shape, with no laces or buckles and open at the back, so the foot goes in and out without help.

With no heel counter, they slip on and off in a second, which makes them ideal for anyone who goes in and out of the house or wears them first thing in the morning.

They are a practical, long-lasting purchase and a very good gift for fathers, grandfathers and partners.

Design and style: mottled felt and woven trim

The felt has a mottled look, with fibres of several tones that give depth to the taupe colour and avoid a flat finish. The front is closed and rounded, and the whole outline has a woven trim in a brown tone that reinforces the edges and gives a well-kept look.

A small label with the brand logo in blue and yellow identifies the model on the side. The sole has the name moulded in and a slightly curved design that gives stability to the step.

The silhouette is rounded, flat and classic, made to go unnoticed at home and to go with any pyjamas or loungewear.

Materials and finish

The upper is felt, a pressed fabric with a warm feel that holds the heat and does not fray. The perimeter trim is woven and reinforces the edges so the felt does not open with use.

The interior is lined with a soft light-coloured fabric that prevents rubbing against the foot. The insole is cushioned and comfortable for many hours on your feet at home.

The sole is rubber, flexible and light, with a profile that follows your stride and a finish that grips well on tile, parquet and laminate.

Everyday comfort

The key to a slipper's comfort is that it does not squeeze, does not weigh and keeps you warm. This one is light, flexible and generous in fit, with no inner seams to rub. The soft interior gives warmth from the first moment and the cushioned insole improves the tread on hard floors.

With no heel counter, the foot moves freely and heat does not build up at the ankle, which makes it suitable even with the heating on high.

A practical tip: if you plan to wear thick wool socks, try half a size up. Barefoot or with thin socks, your usual size will be right.

When to wear them

It is footwear for being at home: cold mornings, sofa afternoons, family dinners and winter nights. It also works for stepping out onto the terrace or into the hallway, although it is not made for walking outdoors in the rain.

It is a very common choice for gifts, for hospital stays and for travel, and for anyone who works from home and wants to be comfortable all day.

Colours available

Size guide

The model comes in EU 40 to 46 with a standard fit: neither especially small nor especially large. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one, above all if you have a high instep, a wide foot or plan to wear thick socks; a backless slipper should hold the foot without squeezing.

Approximate UK equivalents: EU 40 is about UK 6.5, EU 41 about UK 7, EU 42 about UK 8, EU 43 about UK 9, EU 44 about UK 10, EU 45 about UK 10.5 and EU 46 about UK 11.5. These are indicative only and vary between makers, so refer to the brand's size chart. With no fastening, fit depends on the last: between two sizes, the larger one is usually the more comfortable, because the foot does not slide forward.

Care and maintenance

• Brush the felt with a soft brush to remove dust and fluff.
• If they get stained, clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, without soaking, and let them dry in the air with newspaper inside, away from radiators.
• Do not put them in the washing machine or use abrasive products or solvents, which damage the felt and the bonding.
• Store them in a dry, ventilated place when not in use.

With these basic steps, the slipper keeps the look and feel of the felt for many seasons.

Our verdict at Calzados Vesga

We think it is a very solid buy for anyone who wants light, warm, easy-to-use felt house slippers. Their main strength is that they combine things that rarely come together: warmth, lightness, a flexible sole and a balanced price. Their limit is that of any slipper: they are not made for the street or for rainy days.

Frequently asked questions

What are they made of?

The upper is felt, a warm pressed fabric, with a woven trim and a soft lining.

Do these run small?

No, they follow a standard fit. Order your usual size and go up half a size if you have wide feet or wear thick socks.

Are they comfortable all day?

Yes. They are light, flexible and have a soft interior and a cushioned insole. They are designed for long hours at home.

Can I wear them outdoors?

It is not recommended. They are made for indoors; they cope with stepping out onto the terrace, but felt does not stand up well to rain.

How do I clean them?

With a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild soap, no washing machine or running water. Let them dry in the air, away from radiators.

Are they warm in winter?

Yes. The felt and the soft lining hold the warmth, so they keep you warm without feeling heavy.

What size should I choose with wide feet?

Half a size above your usual. A backless slipper should be roomy across the width of the foot.
