Finally a camp slipper that doesn't fall off your foot. The closed back makes all the difference. Warm and comfortable.
Slippers – Fleece-Lined Closed-Back House Shoes for Camping

Shoe underneath.
Closed-back camp slippers with a channel-quilted upper, a plush fleece lining and a patterned rubber grip sole. Warm the second your boots come off, and they stay on your feet when you step out of the tent.
“I've already got slippers in the caravan.”
So has everyone. And they stay in the caravan, because one step onto gravel or wet grass and an open back slides right off your heel. That's why the clogs live by the door too, and why you end up packing two pairs to do one job. These are the one pair: a fully enclosed heel so they stay on outside, a plush fleece lining so your feet are warm the moment the boots come off, and a patterned rubber sole with enough tread for the step, the gravel and the grass.
Six reasons to switch to a closed-back pair
Boots off. Feet warm. Still outside.
The channel-quilted upper and plush fleece lining warm cold feet from the first step: no break-in, no waiting for the chill to leave. The best ten minutes of the day start when the boots come off, and these are what you put on next.
They stay on when you step out
A fully enclosed heel, not the open back of an indoor slipper. Nothing to kick back on between the tent floor, the gravel and the caravan step, and no losing one in the dark.
One pair, not two
Slipper indoors, shoe outdoors, same pair. The slippers you pack for the tent and the shoes you keep by the door become one thing that lives in a rucksack lid or a caravan locker, trip after trip.
Grip for the ground around camp
A patterned rubber sole with enough tread depth for gravel, damp wood decking and grass. Built for the in-between bit: tent to fire pit, caravan step to picnic bench.
Warm feet before bed, not after
Cold feet at nine are why you're awake at two, and a sleeping bag struggles to warm feet that go in cold. A couple of hours in these in the awning and you get into the bag already warm.
Sizes that don't stop at 10
Unisex sizing from UK 6.5 to UK 12, in five sizes. That covers the sizes most slipper ranges stop offering at 10 or 11.

Love your slippers at home? Keep them. These are the pair that can leave the caravan.
Cold feet at nine. Awake at two.
Campers say it again and again, and the fix is rarely inside the sleeping bag. Feet that go in cold tend to stay cold. Feet that go in warm stay warm. The hours before bed are the ones that decide it.
I was snug as a bug apart from my feet which have only just thawed… I have tried wearing socks but no good.
I find if my feet are cold before getting in the bag, they just don't warm up, so I change my socks and get them warm before snugglying down.

What makes it a camp shoe, not a slipper?
Every pair in the awning fails one of two tests: it's warm but can't leave the van, or it can leave the van but your feet are cold. This one is built to pass both, and it comes down to three parts:
- Enclosed heel A ripstop collar panel wraps the ankle and heel and fully encloses the back of the foot, so the slipper moves with you instead of off you. Nothing to step out of on gravel, grass or a wet caravan step.
- Channel-quilted upper, plush fleece lining Horizontal quilted channels across the toe box and body, the same technique used in insulated jackets, hold the heat in place. The fleece lining makes them warm from the first step.
- Patterned rubber outsole Enough tread depth for gravel, damp wood decking and grass without slipping, where a soft indoor sole slides.
No laces, no straps: slip on in a second, slip off the same way. And they're camp shoes, not waterproof boots, made for the short walk to the washblock, not for puddles. That's what the wellies by the door are for.

Good questions
Are they waterproof?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. They're camp shoes for the short walks around the pitch: the tent floor, gravel, decking, damp grass. They're not made for puddles or standing in the rain. That's what the wellies by the door are for.
Will they actually stay on outside?
Yes. That's the whole point of the closed-back build. The collar panel wraps fully around the ankle and heel, so unlike an open-backed slipper or a mule there's nothing to step out of when you go down the caravan step or across the grass in the dark.
What size should I order?
They come in five unisex sizes: UK 6.5, 7.5-8, 8.5-9, 10-10.5 and 11.5-12. Pick the one that includes your usual UK size. If yours falls between two listed sizes, take the bigger one: a camp slipper works best with a little room.
I'm a UK 12. Do they really go that big?
Yes. The top size covers UK 11.5 to 12, the sizes most slipper ranges stop offering at 10 or 11. Big feet are the size the category forgets, and that's why this one exists.
Do I wear socks with them?
Up to you. The plush fleece lining is there so bare feet are warm from the first step. If you like socks for the walk to bed, go for it, and if you plan on thick socks and sit between sizes, take the bigger size.
How far can I walk in them?
The pitch, the washblock, the car, the shop on site. They're camp shoes, not walking shoes: the patterned rubber sole is built for gravel, decking and grass, not for the hill behind the campsite. Boots for the day, these for the evening.
Won't they be too hot in warmer weather?
On a warm evening they're a warm pair of shoes, and you might not want them until the sun drops. They earn their keep the moment the temperature does: the cool evenings and early mornings when bare feet in clogs stop being fun.
Can I wear them at home too?
Yes. The same closed heel and grippy sole that work on a campsite work on a cold kitchen floor and the trip to the bins. They just happen to be built for the campsite as well.
How do I clean them?
Hand wash only. Knock the worst off the sole, wash the upper by hand with a little mild soap and let them air dry. Skip the washing machine and the tumble dryer.
What if they're not for me?
Send them back: start a return within 30 days of delivery. If the fit's the issue, check the sizes above first. Between two sizes, or planning on thick socks, the bigger size is usually the fix.
