kapcie

Kapcie are indoor footwear worn at home for warmth, comfort, and foot protection. They are designed for indoor use, with soft uppers and flexible, non-slip soles that are gentle on floors and quiet to wear. Styles range from closed-back slippers to backless moccasin-like designs, often with padding or faux fur lining.

Materials vary: wool, felt, fleece, cotton, and synthetic textiles are common, while soles are fabric or rubber for grip. Some models are lightweight for warm weather; others are lined with fleece or shearling for winter. Orthopedic or arch-support variants are available.

Usage: kapcie are typically worn indoors, and many households remove outdoor footwear at the entrance to protect floors and reduce dirt. Families may provide separate footwear for guests or for children and elderly people who need easier, more secure options.

Care: cotton and fleece kapcie are usually machine washable; leather or suede require special cleaning. Air-drying is recommended. Replace kapcie when soles wear thin or uppers become damaged. Kapcie function as the domestic equivalent of slippers in many cultures, adapted to local materials and preferences.
