Warm hand-knit indoor slipper socks made in Peru with stitched suede leather soles. Soft, flexible, and designed for cold floors, travel, studio warm-ups, and relaxed house wear.
Hand-Knit Peruvian Slipper Socks with Suede Soles
These Peruvian slipper socks combine a soft hand-knit upper with a flexible stitched suede leather sole for indoor comfort. They are made for warmth without the bulk of a structured house shoe, with a tall slipper-sock silhouette that works for home, travel, cabins, hotel rooms, dance warm-ups, yoga studios, and quiet indoor use.
The design was refined by Chavi Guerra Verastegui, who first encountered a similar slipper-sock style from Guatemala but found the original versions too itchy and not suited to the colors or feel she wanted for dancers. She selected softer fibers and had the socks made in Peru for ballet dancers at The Jillana School in Taos Ski Valley.

Why These Slipper Socks Are Different
Many house slippers are structured, bulky, or made with hard soles. These are soft indoor slipper socks with a flexible textile upper and suede leather sole. The result is closer to a warm sock with added underfoot protection than to a conventional house shoe.

Adapted by Chavi Guerra Verastegui for ballet dancers at The Jillana School in Taos Ski Valley.

Made with softer fibers after earlier versions felt too itchy for the intended use.
Stitched suede soles

Size Guide
Choose your size based on your regular US shoe size and the suede sole length below. Because these are hand-knit, fit may vary slightly by foot shape, knit density, and individual pair. The knit upper has natural give, but it should not be treated as a guaranteed stretch fit.

Fit Notes
These slipper socks are soft and flexible, but they are not compression socks and are not intended to fit like structured shoes. For the best result, choose the size closest to your regular shoe size and compare it to the suede sole length.
If you are between sizes, choose based on how you prefer the fit. Size down for a closer slipper-sock feel, or size up if you prefer more room or plan to wear them over thin socks.
