What size should I take for slippers?

The Charentaise, the quintessential traditional slipper typical of the Charentes region, is an undisputed symbol of French craftsmanship. The fruit of a rich history, it's making a comeback, to the delight of our chilly feet. The comfort of Charentaise slippers lies above all in the quality of the materials used and the traditional construction of the model, but also in choosing the right size. Follow our tips for choosing the right size and fully enjoy (and for a long time!) your favorite winter slippers.

Why is the size of charentaises important?

Slippers that are too small will compress your foot and be uncomfortable, while slippers that are too big may slip and not provide good support. Choosing the right size is therefore essential for:

• Optimal comfort: your feet can relax and warm up freely.

• Increased durability: Properly sized slippers will wear more evenly and last longer.

• A natural gait: your feet will move naturally in your slippers, without being restricted.

What size for slippers?

If you're looking for the quality French manufacturing of JULES & JENN charentaises, but you're unsure about the size before ordering, simply refer to our charentaises size guide. Our model fits true to size, so it's recommended to take your usual shoe size, but this guide will tell you whether it's better to take the size up or down in case you're between two sizes. Also note that our charentaises have a rather wide fit that will adapt to all foot shapes.

Fitted Charentaises: the secret to lasting comfort

It is completely normal to feel a slight tightening sensation during the first few wears. Indeed, wool felt, a natural and noble material, requires a little time to adapt. As wool is a living material, it will gradually relax to perfectly fit the shape of your foot. This initial tightening sensation is therefore a sign of quality and will disappear quickly.

Some additional tips:

• Choose natural materials: Charentaise slippers made from felt and wool, as traditionally done, are particularly appreciated for their ability to adapt to the shape of the foot. This is true of our entire range, and among them, original colors like our traditional gray-pink charentaise slippers are a hit!

• Choose a suitable lining: opt for a lining made of real wool (not synthetic) for optimal warmth in winter.

• Put on your slippers barefoot: for maximum comfort, it is recommended to wear your slippers barefoot.

All that's left is to adopt this legendary French shoe model, to treat yourself to for winter evenings or to slip under the Christmas tree for your loved ones!
