When I’m at home, I’m someone who doesn’t like walking around the house bare-footed. I just don’t like the thought of my feet getting dirty. So when I’m doing chores etc, you will either see me wearing a pair of socks or, in the winter, wearing slippers. However, wearing socks in the Summer is sometimes not viable – especially when it’s a corking 40 degrees inside the house, even if I have the fan on full blast.
I wanted to buy a pair of slider-type shoes that are perfect for when you’re just lazing around the house. Then I came across Bjorgk on Instagram. Bjorgk is a Scandinavian company that sells slides and socks. Their claim to fame is that their slides will have you feeling like you’re walking on a cloud. So, I decided to buy a pair and see if the hype surrounding them is worth it.
So, what are my thoughts on the Bjorgk slides?
Let’s start with –
Comfort
This is the biggest factor that needs to be discussed first. Is their ‘walking on a cloud’ statement true? I got to be honest – they are extremely comfortable to wear! I feel like my feet have that support from the slide and they have a lovely cushion to them. One thing I like about these Bjogk slides is that they are non-slip, something I have worried about when purchasing slides in the past. They are also extremely lightweight, so it doesn’t feel like you’re dragging them around.
Sizing
One little (and I mean little) issue I had when these arrived was the size of them. Even though I bought my normal size (3.5-4.5 as stated on the website), they were slightly big for my feet. However, they are still comfortable and are easy to walk in despite that.
Quality & Durability
These slides are all-terrain footwear, and I have to say, they are extremely durable. I’ve even worn them outside and they are showing no signs of wear and tear. Another good thing about these Bjorgk slides is that they are machine washable, which is great if you wear them a lot (like I do!).
Price
The price of the slides is currently £19.99. I won’t lie, you can probably get a cheaper alternative elsewhere. However, if you’re someone who gets foot and joint pain, or suffers from bunions or plantar fasciitis, these may be the ones for you! Even if you want to experience extreme comfort, then these are worth the money! But you do get a huge variety of colours, as you can see, I opted for the light grey ones.
So, would I recommend the Bjorgk slides?
Apart from the sizing issue, these slides get a 10/10 for comfort and durability! They are the comfiest sliders I have bought in years, and they’re perfect for me to wear around the house. One thing I love about these is that they are very flexible and durable, so I hope that means they’ll last for years!
