Details
Lightweight, breathable comfort with an easy fully opening fit.
Eleanor’s Essence is designed for swollen, wide or sensitive feet that need more room and flexibility than standard slippers can provide.
The slipper opens fully at the front and heel, making it easy to put on and take off. Simply open the Velcro straps, place your foot directly onto the sole, then fasten the slipper around your foot, no need to slide or squeeze your foot through a narrow opening.
The adjustable front and heel Velcro straps can be loosened or tightened independently, helping you find a comfortable fit and allowing for changes in swelling throughout the day.
The lightweight mesh upper encourages airflow, making Eleanor’s Essence especially comfortable in warmer weather. A soft memory foam insole provides cushioning underfoot, while the flexible rubber outsole offers everyday grip for indoor and light outdoor use.
A practical choice for mild to moderate swelling, wide feet, high insteps, or anyone looking for a lighter, breathable adaptive slipper.
