Do people buy more sheepskin slippers in a recession? Sure seems that way here at Old Friend Footwear!
Any time the economy goes down, our sheepskin slippers sales go up. Women’s slippers, men’s slippers, extra-wide slippers…all our arch support slippers get more popular during recessions.
We suspect it’s a combination of staying home and wanting comfort. If your budget shrinks and dinners at the fancy gourmet restaurant are no longer an option, then those strappy, patent leather high heels are no longer necessary. But a pair of comfy sheepskin slippers is suddenly much more so.
The term “staycations” is now popular, meaning people are staying home for fun rather than going out of town on vacation. Whether this means renting movies and popping popcorn, or taking up a new hobby like scrapbooking, warm, cozy feet are required to truly enjoy being home.
For some people, the sheepskin slippers are so comfortable—and durable—that they wear them all over all the time. Plus our arch support slippers are built for all-purpose wear, and all-terrain walking, with tight stitching and thick soles. These sheepskin slippers work as shoes for people wanting to be friendly to their feet too, as shoes for flat feet, shoes for heel spurs and shoes for plantar fasciitis.
Are you staying home more? Are your tootsies aching for some warm, cozy comfort and some sturdy arch support? Then Old Friend Footwear might be just the way for you to weather this recession! Check out our arch support sheepskin slippers at http://www.oldfriendfootwear.com/sheepskinslippers.php.
