Russell & Bromley Slippers – Luxury Indoor Footwear
Our Almond Shearling Slipper combines effortless sophistication with year-round comfort. We've crafted this style with genuine sheepskin and a plush shearling lining that naturally regulates temperature — keeping feet cosy in winter and breathable during warmer months.
The almond toe silhouette offers a refined alternative to traditional slipper shapes, while the flexible rubber sole allows you to step outside for quick errands. Handcrafted in our European workshops using techniques refined over decades, these Russell & Bromley slippers represent our commitment to quality that lasts season after season.

Materials & Construction
Every pair of Russell & Bromley slippers is crafted from carefully selected materials that balance luxury with longevity. We source our sheepskin from European tanneries where traditional methods ensure the natural lanolin properties remain intact, providing inherent temperature regulation and antimicrobial benefits.
Our Italian velvet undergoes a special brushing process that creates depth and resilience, while our suede comes from hides chosen for their consistent nap and suppleness. Each slipper is constructed using techniques we’ve refined over our 150-year heritage — from hand-stitched moccasins to precision-cut uppers that eliminate pressure points. The footbeds feature layered cushioning systems that combine memory foam with contoured arch support, creating comfort that improves rather than diminishes over time.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
Our slippers follow UK whole sizing and are designed to fit true to your regular Russell & Bromley size. We recommend selecting your standard shoe size for styles with structured backs, as the footbed will conform to your foot within the first few wears.
For backless mule designs, some customers prefer sizing down by half a size if they’re between sizes, ensuring the slipper stays securely on the foot. If you typically wear a half size, we suggest choosing the larger whole size for shearling-lined styles, as the natural fibres will compress slightly with initial wear while maintaining their insulating properties. The same principle applies to designs with faux fur lining — the materials settle comfortably after a brief break-in period.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care extends the life of your slippers significantly. For suede styles, we recommend using a soft-bristled brush to lift the nap and remove surface dust weekly. Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against moisture and staining.
Shearling requires minimal maintenance — simply shake out the slipper and allow it to air in a well-ventilated space after each wear. Natural sheepskin fibres resist odour and bacteria, so avoid machine washing, which damages the hide and compromises the lanolin content. For velvet varieties, brush gently in the direction of the pile using a specialist velvet brush to maintain the fabric’s lustre and prevent crushing.

Common Questions About Our Slippers
While our slippers are primarily designed for indoor comfort, most styles feature durable rubber soles that allow brief outdoor excursions. You can comfortably step outside to collect post, take bins out, or enjoy your garden without concern.
The soles provide adequate grip on various surfaces including wet paving. However, we recommend reserving them primarily for indoor use to preserve the premium materials and extend the lifespan of your slippers.
Cleaning methods depend on the material composition of your specific style. For suede slippers, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap, working in gentle circular motions.
Shearling-lined styles require minimal intervention — simply air them in a well-ventilated space and avoid water or machine washing. Velvet varieties benefit from brushing with a specialist velvet brush in the direction of the pile. Spot clean any marks immediately with a barely damp cloth, blotting rather than rubbing. We provide detailed care instructions specific to your purchase with every pair.
Yes, our slippers follow standard UK sizing and align with your regular Russell & Bromley shoe size. We recommend ordering your usual size for most styles, particularly those with structured backs.
If you're between sizes and selecting a backless mule design, some customers prefer sizing down to ensure the slipper doesn't slip at the heel. For shearling-lined styles, the natural fibres compress slightly during initial wear, so choosing your true size allows for this natural settling process.

Yes, we offer a dedicated collection of men's slippers alongside our women's range. The designs follow similar principles of quality craftsmanship and premium materials, with silhouettes and sizing tailored specifically for men's feet.
Our men’s footwear section includes moccasins, shearling styles, and suede options in sizes that accommodate a full range of foot dimensions. Many of the material choices and construction techniques carry across both collections, ensuring the same standard of comfort and durability.
With proper care, our slippers easily provide multiple years of regular wear. The exact lifespan depends on frequency of use and care practices, but customers commonly report three to five years from a single pair worn daily.
The quality of materials and construction means they maintain their structure and comfort far longer than mass-market alternatives. Many customers find the footbed becomes even more comfortable over time as it moulds to their individual foot shape, while premium materials like sheepskin and suede develop an attractive patina that adds character with age.
