Essentially, a slipper is a loose, comfortable<br />
indoor shoe to be worn at<br />
<strong>home</strong>. It has found its way – in all<br />
manner of colours and styles – into<br />
<strong>home</strong>s all over the world, including<br />
beautiful Switzerland, where it warms<br />
the feet during the cold winters.<br />
The slipper’s conqu<strong>est</strong> of the sitting<br />
room in many European countries<br />
created a new species of man – the<br />
“henpecked husband”, or doormat<br />
on which his wife metaphorically<br />
wipes her slippers. He has little to say<br />
in his own four walls.
