Shoppers are raving about Simba's Rok Slippers, with one reviewer calling them the 'best pair so far' for their 'off the chart' comfort — and another saying they're 'like walking on a cloud'.
Father's Day Gift Idea
It's no secret that dads can often be tricky to buy for, and with Father's Day just around the corner, the hunt for the ideal gift to show our appreciation for the father figures in our lives is well and truly under way. For those fed up of hearing 'I don't need anything,' a practical present can often be the best approach.
Now, men have been singing the praises of a particular pair of slippers online, lauding their 'top notch workmanship' and 'off the chart' comfort. The design in question is Simba's Rok Slippers, which come in stylish beige and grey colourways.
Priced at £89 each, the slippers are certainly an investment, but we like that they're arguably not going to be something Dad would typically treat himself to, making them the perfect Father's Day gift. For those wondering why the item warrants its price tag, the stylish slip-on design features a special reflexology-inspired sole which boasts a whopping nine pressure points to massage the feet during wear, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Durability and Versatility
Dads who often go through slippers quickly may also find their interest piqued by the Merino wool and leather material which has been designed to offer optimum durability and comfort. Not only that, but for the fathers prone to tinkering around in the garden, the shoes can be worn both inside and outdoors, offering a pretty decent cost-per-wear.
If Dad isn't in the market for a new pair of slippers, then shoppers may also wish to consider Simba's Unisex Soft Muslin Robe which is available in four wearable shades at £139 each. Crafted to last, it's made from an airy cotton muslin that softens with every wash. Ideal for treating Dad to a little bit of luxury, he could also match Mum giving them a posh spa hotel vibe from the comfort of their own home.
Alternative Options
Elsewhere on the high street, those on a budget may wish to opt for M&S £26 Mule Slippers with Freshfeet™. Available in UK sizes 6-12, they feature a bumper toe and a soft faux fur lining, plus a clever Freshfeet™ technology that fights the bacteria that can cause pesky odours.
Over at Amazon, and the LongBay Men's Wool-Like Felt Slippers are on sale in a size 9, cut from £35.99 to £21.84 in a limited-time deal that gives buyers 39% off. They've been designed with a removable high-density foam insole that delivers custom-fit support and retains shape with usage.
Customer Reviews
Men have left high praise in the reviews of the Rok Slippers on the Simba website. Having amassed an overall rating of 4.7 out of five stars from 91 reviews, shoppers say their width is 'just right', and the comfort level is five out of five, though Simba does suggest they come up small in general, urging shoppers between sizes to size up.
David said: "Great slippers - workmanship top notch, very comfortable."
Another reviewer, Danielle rated them as a gift, commenting: "Grandad loves them. Bought them for our grandad who needed some new slippers. He said it’s like walking on a cloud and he cannot take them off."
Meanwhile, Emmanuel said: "Best pair so far… brilliant. I will rate it 10/10. Compared to those over priced ones, the comfort with this pair is off the chart. Brilliant product by all standards."
Another reviewer named Andrew said: "These have been a game changer. Standing all day. The ROK sleepers have given me extra comfort for my whole foot, from my heels to my toes. Fantastic."
It is worth noting that while Stuart awarded the slippers a five star review, he did highlight a minor issue with the material, commenting: "Excellent slippers. I wouldn’t normally buy footwear online without trying but these came highly recommend and didn’t disappoint. The fit guide is good and they are very comfortable. The raised reflexology massage areas seem to add to the comfort. My only negative point would be that the pale suede does stain easily, so be careful!"
Despite this, Muhammad raved: "Amazing slippers - really comfy! Wonderful for wearing around the house. They refresh tired feet effectively. I look forward to coming home after a long day at work and putting them on to do their thing."
Meanwhile, Alan's review was short and sweet, writing: "Comfort and joy. Probably the most comfortable slippers I have ever worn."
Anothony felt the slippers - which come in UK shoe sizes 7-12 - were too nice to confine to the house, writing: "Too good to just wear them indoors! I have worn several different shoes in this 'clog/mule' style. I can genuinely say that these are by far the most comfortable. The sole is so comfortable and supportive. They're a true fit and size - from when you first put them on you'll never want to take them off! The good quality, is shown in the perfect fit, the sole, and the soft leather. They're very smart so I wear them inside and out. They certainly live up to the hype."
