Rockdove Women's Down Puff Clog Slipper with Sherpa Lining

Inspired by Adventure, Made for the Everyday RockDove was originally born on a beach in Santa Monica, California, as a shoe repair shop that resoled hiking boots for locals. Twenty years later, we're still making footwear for après adventure, inspired by the bright hues and laidback vibes of our SoCal beachtown. Our entire team, from product design to customer support, is firmly rooted in West Hollywood, just 10 miles down Santa Monica Boulevard, where it all started.

An American Company RockDove was created for five birdwatchers of the Los Angeles Audubon Society in 2002. As their local shoe cobbler, we protected the feet of avid adventurers as they trekked punishing terrains across southern California's mountains and deserts. Over time, they asked for something that was badly missing in their lives at home—quality indoor shoes to console their high-mileage, trail-weary feet. So, for Christmas that year, we handmade five pairs of slippers for our long-time Audubon customers using a low-cut boot last.

The Experiment Shoe brands in southern California, where sunny beaches and flip flops rule, don't pay much attention to slippers. However, we did know how to make comfortable, long-lasting footwear. Using mattress memory foam, gel insoles, anti-shock cushioning from hiking boots, and more, we designed slippers with the goal of comforting extremely tired feet. Two months later, when we sent out a newsletter about our little experiment, customers responded with 350 mail orders. We named our slippers after the most mundane bird we knew, the rock dove (pigeon), often seen strutting the boardwalks of Santa Monica Pier.

The Sweet Spot Comfort Level Our quest to get comfort down to a science pushed us to become one of the earliest adopters of high-density memory foam in slippers. In 2004, we reached out to local sleep experts at the Long Beach Mattress Company to source their memory foam toppers, which we then molded into insoles. But mattress comfort didn't exactly translate to slipper comfort, so we obsessively tweaked the density and firmness ratings of our foams to create that "sweet spot" level: one that offers incredible comfort, yet not so much cushioning that you'll feel like walking in quicksand.

Product Details Our slippers feature synthetic uppers (unless stated otherwise) with either rubber or EVA soles. The soles are sturdy and anti-skid, protecting your feet from cabin floors to apartment tiles. The fuzzy sherpa lining keeps your feet toasty warm on cold winter days, while the memory foam cushioning molds to the bottom of your feet and rebounds with every step. With an easy slip-on style and a low back collar to keep your foot in place, these versatile slippers can be worn as everyday house shoes or camping slippers.

Sizing Tip We recommend going up one size for the best fit. This slipper takes a few hours to break in due to the thick lining; if sizing issues persist, please contact our customer service.
