Living in Europe I came across these beautiful traditional Handmade Leather House Slippers For Men and Women called Kapcie in Polish. These wonderful creations are made with time long traditional methods in the mountains of Poland called Zakopane, a very beautiful Scenic place mountains covered with snow and postcard perfect in every way.

The polish house slippers are hand carved, tanned, and finished to perfection from a single piece of leather. The best part is that these men's and women's mule slippers are handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional methods and only the best materials. These backless slip-on will never be found in a big box store, and I can tell you from personal experience that it is well worth the extra effort to locate the conventional shoe makers from Poland. Once you've experienced the quality, comfort, and elegance of home slippers, I'm sure you'll agree they're worth the extra effort to find.

There are many different types of indoor slippers, but what sets kapcie apart is that they are very light in weight and mostly made from natural sheep and pig skin, which is very thin, smooth, and flexible, making it the ideal leather for making ultra soft, easy to wear house slippers! Any weekly market in Poland will have at least two or three shops selling these delightful Kapcies. Photos of the Krzepice market, known as Rynek in Polish, can be found below.

Aside from their lovely traditional appearance, I adore the fact that the upper part is entirely made of leather and the insole is made of very thin sheep skin with cushion padding, as seen in one of our leather house slippers for women videos. Wearing them feels like your feet are wrapped in a soft, breathable skin, because leather has natural breathing properties, which they essentially are! As a result, your feet sweat less during the summer and are always warm during the cold winter. That is what makes your feet feel so relaxed and comfortable... exactly what we all need after a long and stressful day!

Closed toe Flipflops are preferred by most people because they cover the toes while leaving the back and sides of your feet open, making them very easy to slip into. Those with wider feet may prefer the open toe Kapcie. They have a broader upper and are also easy to slip on.

Hmm...How can we forget about kapcie for Women!

Womens kapcie are joyously colorful and unique in design with a flat or slight heel to suit every ladies choice. Again, womens slippers are offered in closed or open toe. Close toe is mostly preferred by women who are under age of 40 to 60 with a flat heel as these slippers offer a firmer grip for the feet. Soft heeled open toe Slippers can be worn beyond the house.

Kapcie does not mean only Flipflop. Kapcie are also made in shoe designs with some made of Fleece with wool stuffing for winter and others of Sheep Skin with fur on top and the inside made of Soft wool to keep feet warm and comfortable all winter long commonly called Zakopianki kapcie handmade in mountains of Zakopane this women slippers shoes handstitched like mocassin shoes made of soft sheepskin, colorful faux or natural sheepwool fur collar on top, and natural wool inner lining which keep feet warm and cosy. For those who started wearing house slippers all day now due to pendamic reality and work from home culture, these women slippers shoes are durable enough to withstand small outside walk too.

Basically all Polish Kapcie slippers and shoes have one thing in common – Ultra light soles, superb comfort and snuggly warmth!

Leather house slippers benefits :

1)Sweaty feet: Let's face it, when we get tense or nervous, our palms and feet start sweating. Additionally, wearing improper footwear made of synthetic material can be the main reason why your feet sweat because low quality fabric made or plastic slippers do not breathe and tend to increase body heat, which leads to sweaty feet, and because sweat does not absorb or evaporate, your feet start stinking and increase the risk of contracting athlete's foot.

Genuine leather Mens and women house slippers can be alternative to solve this problem because leather is natural material which is porous is nature and also have absorbing property, so if your feet sweat leather slippers will absorb sweat and eventually it will get evaporated due to natural breathing properly of suede and sheepskin leather, your feet will also be dry and odourless.

2)Proper Fit: Home indoor slippers should be comfortable and ideal fit to your feet. Plastic low quality fit tight and wont expand after little wear. Fabric slippers can expand however it will loose its shape and will look ugly after few wear. Leather slippers for men and women will take shape of your feet after two or three time slip into it as leather tends to expand and will hug your feet like a warm soothing blanket.
