There are a great many types of women's shoes, but when you need to choose a truly comfortable pair, slippers come to mind, and stylish and fashionable slippers are slip-ons. They are a cross between sneakers and ballet shoes, combining the best qualities of these types of shoes.
Initially, like most models of modern shoes, slip-ons were created for men, namely, skaters. The American Paul Van Doren came up with them in the seventies of the last century. Today, slip-ons are firmly fixed in the women's wardrobe; they are comfortable, practical and versatile in combination. One of the most popular models are white. Despite the fact that there are not so many shades of white as, for example, gray, the lineup of white slip-ons pleases with its variety.
Fashion models
For everyday wear, white slippers on a thin sole are quite popular. They are comfortable and weightless, legs in such a pair will not get tired even after hours of walking.
It is not at all necessary that such slip-ons will be boring and dull, resourceful designers delight lovers of comfortable slip-ons with a variety of finishes, in addition to the traditional decor, it can even be sewn faces of funny little animals. Summer white slip-on models are quite attractive in lace design.
Platform lovers, as well as those who want to add a couple of centimeters of growth, will surely appreciate white slip-ons with thick soles (flat or grooved).
At first, it may seem that they look somewhat bulky on the female leg, but the white color levels this effect, and a pair of white slip-ons on a high, sometimes even tractor, platform can look very elegant.
Especially if the couple is decorated with prints (peas, stripes, cage, chess, zebra, stars, inscriptions), rhinestones, stones, beads, rivets, spikes, chains, bows, pompons, appliqués, leather inserts or edging.
Overstuffed to the ankle, slip-ons are suitable for wearing not only in summer, but also in early autumn and late spring. They are often decorated with double-sided original zippers. Warm models on fur are also quite relevant in mild weather.
Despite the fact that the laces on traditional slip-ons are usually absent, designers have recently been trying to supplement their usual models, however, unlike a sneaker, these laces perform an exclusively decorative function. Moreover, the laces on white slip-ons can be of a completely different, contrasting color.
Material
The most common are white textile slip-ons. It can be cotton, linen (canvas, canvas), velvet. Such shoes are hygienic, their feet do not sweat, but they are afraid of dampness and dirt, this is especially true for white. But in dry weather, a pair of snow-white or cream slip-ons made of fabric or lace will look quite stylish and organic.
Slipons made of white leather and suede are equally popular. They are more practical than fabric, as leather and suede products are easier to clean, especially if they are pre-treated with a special water and dirt-repellent composition.
Designers offer very interesting leather models of white slip-ons - with perforation, embossed and noble finish.
The most unusual material for the production of white slip-ons is fur, in particular rabbit or pony fur. And faux fur (and not necessarily white) is used for the interior decoration of slip-ons.
How to wash?
White slip-ons, like any bright thing, get dirty too quickly. Moreover, over time, they may lose their pristine whiteness and become yellowish, grayish or even brownish brown. How to wash white slip-ons so that they become new again?
You can wash them both manually and in the washing machine:
- To begin with, severe contaminants are cleaned with a shoe brush. Pay special attention to the sole.
- For manual washing, the powder must be previously dissolved, if it is a common detergent without bleach, then a little oxygen (chlorine-free) bleach can be added.
- Wipes with prints and decor should be washed with a liquid and only by hand. Soak textile shoes for more than two hours is not worth it. It is advisable not to soak leather slip-ons at all.
If you don’t have any special laundry detergents on hand, it doesn’t matter - soda, lemon juice, white toothpaste / powder or even shavings of ordinary laundry soap will come in handy. The selected ingredients are applied to pre-moistened slippers with an old toothbrush, and after about a couple of hours they are thoroughly washed off under running warm water.
If your washing machine has the function of gentle washing without spinning, then you can take a chance and wash the white fabric slip on it. But first, make sure that the sole does not seek to part with the textile upper, otherwise, you will have to carry the shoes after washing for repair.
A powder or liquid product should be selected with a whitening effect, and for the best result it will not hurt to use the pre-soak mode.
You can’t use a hairdryer to dry white slip-ons, you don’t need to put them on a battery, but leaving it to dry in the sun will not hurt - the dose of ultraviolet light will provide your bright pair with additional whitening.
To preserve the shape, you can put crumpled sheets of light paper inside, but not newspapers, since they can leave prints on wet textiles.
