Our Charentaises are entirely made in La Rochefoucauld-En-Angoumois, in Charente, the historic birthplace of our famous slipper.

Each product description provides you with the information you need to choose your size.

The Charentaise is worn tightly during the first fitting then after a few hours, the interior wool will settle and the upper material will relax slightly (the foot will have made its place and you will benefit from the incomparable comfort of the Charentaise).< /p>

If you take a size larger, you will be more comfortable when trying on then after a few hours, the interior wool will settle and the Charentaise may be too big for you and you risk losing it.

If, however, after this test, it is still not suitable, you can return the pair to us (please consult the terms and conditions in the ‘Product returns’ section)

Our felt soles are made in the South-West of France, at the last wool manufacturer.

They are mainly composed of wool, cotton and recycled fibers, and a plasticized layer in an anti-slip version.

There are 2 qualities of felt sole for our charentaises:

  • The genuine and authentic 5-chain felt sole. This is par excellence the authentic and ancestral felt sole of our legendary slipper made in sewn-turned. It once allowed valets to move from room to room in castles, without making noise while polishing the parquet floors.

It is thanks to this sole, which allows you to move around discreetly, that the charentaise has earned its name of ‘Silent’.

This entirely felt sole is pleasant for moving around in an apartment.

Be careful, however, it is only intended for indoor use and can also be slippery but remains the “favorite” of purists.

 

  • The non-slip felt soleor also called "crepe comfort". It is simply the same felt sole on which a thin non-slip layer is molded. Today, this quality is all the more appreciated by our customers, which is why you will find more items designed on this sole on our site.

This coating gives it a reassuring side due to its better grip on the ground and a more material visual.

In addition, this light skate will allow you to go out on your terrace.

 

In both cases, you will benefit from the same comfort thanks to the sewn-returned assembly.

Little tip: the charentaises whose reference contains the letter F (e.g.: CAHORS F Beige) are made with felt sole, while the letter P (e.g. CALMONT P Marine) indicates the non-slip felt sole.
