You spend the day out of the house and, after a long day, just want to relax. Your DVR queue is filled with your favorite shows to watch, you have a bottle of wine and the delivery person just rang the doorbell with your take out. Life is good. Slippers are a smart choice to wear with your comfortable home clothes for the nights you just want to drool in front of the television. They're so perfectly cozy and warm.
Yet, what happens when your corpse-like evening
on the couch is interrupted by things like the dog crying to go out, the
garbage needing to be brought to the curb (and it's raining) or that
quick run to the corner store for milk? Sure, most of these quick
interruptions could be done in your slippers, but do you really want to
wear them outside?
Between the outdoor grime, inclement weather,
not to mention the fact that slippers were not built for leaving the
house, a better solution would probably be smart, unless you want to
change back into your shoes again before leaving. Wouldn't it be great
if you had a pair of slippers that could instantly turn into shoes and
vice versa? Talk about particularly helpful when you get the red light
from your friend who won't let you into their home until you remove your
shoes...and you have terrible socks on.
Mahabis
has reinvented slippers and they're pretty cool. Most slippers can't
be worn outside, but Mahabis detachable soles make your slippers
outside-ready in seconds, and their collapsible heels make your slippers
even easier to slip on.
To make the slippers outside-ready in a snap, you
simply slip the front of the slipper into the curved edge of the soles
and clip the fastener at the heel. The company merges innovation with
premium comfort and ease. Their modular slipper includes four unique
design features: a lightweight and breathable upper (lined with 100%
wool), a neoprene collapsible heel, a detachable durable high-end
thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) sole, and a cushioned sports style
in-sock.
The clipped on soles may not work in a typhoon,
or being ankle deep in water, but they are certainly a smart solution
for quick, or even extended, trips outdoors, and they're certainly
better than wearing slippers for these quick jaunts. Plus, you show
your "shoes-off in my home" friend that your don't need to remove your
shoes, you just need to detach your soles to gain entrance.
The
Mahabis approach to design, manufacturing and lifestyle is infused with
Scandinavian minimalism. They’ve stripped back over-complicated designs,
focused on clean lines, function and form. Similar to Dyson,
a company that put a modern spin on vacuum cleaners, Mahabis believes
the most mundane products can impact our daily well-being. The company
is driven by the belief that by improving these small everyday
experiences, we can better the whole. The company is based out of
London, England and, while the company is quintessentially British, it
carries the weight of global heritage. Mahabis slippers, that have a
very Scandinavian look, are made in Portugal using Italian made soles.
Not in Europe? Don't worry, the company ships all over the world.Currently the shoes aren't sold in stores, but you can order them online here. And be sure to check out the different colorful soles you can add to your Mahabis slippers to change them up.
Looking for a smart gift, an easy way to go from comfort to function in a pinch or just think the concept is cool? Check out Mahabis slippers and never get frustrated again when a perfectly relaxing evening is interrupted by having to lace up your sneakers to take the dog out again.
