Why choose them?

• Velvet upper with animal print, original and sophisticated even for lounging at home
• Shape inspired by Derby shoes, more structured and elegant than a classic slipper
• Slip-on fit, no laces to tie, practical to put on and take off

The La Maison de l’Espadrille 6060-9 are women's slippers that combine the comfort of a winter slipper with the sophisticated look of a Derby-style shoe.

They share the materials and features of the 6058-9 ballet slippers but have a completely different shape: the upper rises higher on the instep and mirrors the line of a classic Derby, creating a more enveloping and structured shoe.

The upper is made of velvet with an animal print, which adds personality to the model and makes it distinctly different from traditional house footwear.

Despite their shoe-like aesthetic, the construction remains that of a practical slipper: the fit is slip-on, so there is no need to tie or untie the shoe. Just slip your foot in for comfortable, snug footwear, ideal for everyday use.

The interior is lined with soft fur, designed to keep your feet pleasantly warm during the colder season. At the same time, the construction remains breathable, offering pleasant comfort even when worn for long periods.

Underfoot is a soft, removable insole, while the structure is completed by a non-slip rubber sole, which is flexible and designed to offer good grip on floors.

The result is a warm, soft, and original slipper, perfect for those who want the practicality of a slipper but prefer the look of a real shoe on their feet.

Derby style, slipper comfort

The unique feature of the 6060-9 is the contrast between aesthetics and construction.

The shape is inspired by classic Derby shoes, with an upper that is more enveloping than that of a ballet flat or a slide. The animal print velvet makes the model even more original and sophisticated.

The fit, however, remains extremely simple: the slip-on construction allows you to wear them directly without having to deal with laces or fasteners.

You get the look of a real shoe with all the convenience you expect from a house slipper.

Warm, lined, and breathable

The soft fur interior makes the La Maison de l’Espadrille 6060-9 particularly suitable for the coldest months.

The lining wraps around the foot and offers a pleasant sensation of warmth, while the construction maintains good breathability, which is especially important when a slipper is worn for several consecutive hours.

Furthermore, the more closed and enveloping shape compared to a ballet flat contributes to creating a pleasant feeling of protection during winter.

Soft, removable insole

Inside, there is a soft and completely removable insole, designed to make the foot's support more comfortable.

The ability to remove it also makes it easier to care for the shoe and offers greater versatility compared to a slipper with a fixed footbed.

For those who use their own orthotic insole, it is possible to consider inserting it after removing the original one, provided that the shape, thickness, and volume are compatible with the space available in the shoe.

Non-slip rubber sole

The construction is completed by a non-slip rubber sole, which offers a more durable base than the traditional textile bottoms of slippers.

The bottom remains soft and flexible, so as to comfortably accompany the foot's movement during daily activities at home.

The brand: La Maison de l’Espadrille

The history of La Maison de l’Espadrille began in 1960 in the southwest of France, when Monsieur and Madame Arauzo launched a business deeply tied to the tradition of the espadrille.

Today, the company is managed by the new generation of the family and continues to develop shapes, materials, and collections while maintaining a close connection to the traditional savoir-faire that has characterized the brand since its inception.

Alongside its famous espadrilles, the brand has also developed a collection dedicated to slippers and house footwear. For over 25 years, the winter models have been made in collaboration with a specialized Spanish manufacturer, combining the brand's French identity with Made in Spain manufacturing expertise.

At Pli-Pla Calzature Milano, we select the La Maison de l’Espadrille 6060-9 for those who do not want a classic slipper and prefer a more enveloping and sophisticated-looking house shoe.

The Derby shape and animal-print velvet make them look like a real shoe, while the slip-on fit, warm interior, soft removable insole, and flexible sole maintain all the comfort needed for everyday home use.
