JyabJyab Soft Waffle Slippers* are super lightweight slippers with a soft insole that can be easily washed and wrung out by hand or hung out to dry. They are also machine washable. The insole and sole have stitching to prevent wrinkling, so they return to their original shape easily. The waffle fabric—often used for towels and sheets—is soft to the touch. Combined with cotton, the slippers are gentle on the skin so can be worn like super comfortable socks. In addition to being very light, the slippers are foldable, making them perfect for flights and hotels. The brand name tag is attached to the heel so the slippers dry easily, and the soft polyester suede-like fabric used for the sole eliminates that flip-flop sound when walking. The slippers are made by Okumura, which has been in business for 120 years making slippers that preserve and convey the unique Japanese culture of taking off shoes and putting on slippers when entering the home. When left for guests, the washable slippers offer a warm welcome that embodies Japanese omotenashi spirit.
*Jabu jabu (can be written jyab jyab in English) is a Japanese expression meaning to slosh around in water.
