I am Room Shoes. I’m made with a special kind of fiber, a mix of paper and plants. Although some may say I’m too softhearted, I think I turned out pretty well!
Last year we moved into a turn of the century brownstone and although the original wood floors have character, they also give splinters. I’ve been in the market for comfortable shoe-like slippers for the home ever since and no matter how many wonderful pairs I find, the Sasawashi Room Shoes remain my go-tos. They are the perfect mix of comfy fit and durable construction. The top cap is flexible and soft while the sole is a lot sturdier and can hold up to everyday wear. I also like how innovative the material is with the addition of Kumazasa fibers that keep the insoles feeling fresh. It’s like walking on a tatami mat!
