The hidden problem with ordinary slippers
Ordinary slippers can fail you twice: at the heel and at the sole. And these are the two most common causes of falls at home.
Your slipper slips on the floor
Smooth soles can lose traction on household floors.

Bought a pair for my dad because bending down to put his shoes on has become difficult for him. These have made such a difference. The opening is large enough that he can get his foot in without fighting with the shoe, and once fastened they stay securely on his feet. He actually asked me to order him another pair.

I was getting tired of struggling with slippers every morning. These open up so wide that I can simply slide my foot in and close the strap. No bending and pulling like with my old shoes. They also feel much more secure around my heel, especially when I’m walking on our kitchen and bathroom floors.

I bought these for my 78-year-old mother after she nearly slipped in her old backless slippers. She was skeptical at first, but now she wears them every day. She can open them herself, slide her feet straight in and adjust the fit without struggling. I especially like that her heel is actually enclosed instead of hanging out the back.

At 71, I’ve become much more careful about what I wear around the house because I don’t want loose slippers under my feet. These feel completely different. They’re warm and comfortable, but what I appreciate most is the combination of the closed heel and grippy sole. They feel like proper shoes while still being as easy to wear as slippers.

My biggest concern with slippers has always been feeling unsteady in them. Most pairs I’ve owned were loose at the back and would move around when I walked. These stay on my feet properly and the soles have a really good grip. I feel much more confident walking around the house now.

How do I choose the right size?
Choose your normal shoe size. If you're between two sizes, or your feet tend to swell in the evening, go one size up. The adjustable strap lets you fine-tune the fit, so your pair feels snug but never tight.
What makes GroundStep™ different from regular slippers?
Most slippers are made for lounging on the couch. GroundStep™ is made for walking around your home. It has a closed heel that keeps your foot in place, a wide opening that's easy to step into, and a grip sole that holds on smooth and wet floors.
Why is GroundStep™ designed for nighttime bathroom trips?
The walk to the bathroom at night is when many people feel least steady. You're half asleep, it's dark, and you're often in socks or loose slippers. GroundStep™ is made for exactly that moment: easy to slide into, a heel that stays on, and a sole that grips bathroom tiles.
Can I put them on easily when I’m half asleep?
Yes. Fasten the strap once to your fit, then keep your pair by the bed. At night, the wide opening lets your feet slide right in, so you don't have to search, bend or fiddle in the dark.
Can I wear GroundStep™ around the house during the day too?
Absolutely. From your morning coffee to cooking dinner, GroundStep™ keeps your feet warm and steady on every floor in your home. It's made for indoor use, so for longer walks outside, we recommend regular outdoor shoes.
Are GroundStep™ a good gift for my mom or dad?
Yes, many people buy GroundStep™ for a parent who lives alone. It's a simple way to help them feel steadier at home, especially at night. Check their current shoe size before ordering. If the size isn't right, you can return or exchange them within 30 days.
