About Marpen: Marpen is a Spanish slipper brand, made in Elche since 1960. They specialise in house slippers with bold prints, licensed football designs and playful patterns, all built on cushioned removable insoles and hard-wearing rubber soles. We stock their ladies’ and men’s full-slipper styles for cosy wear at home.
This is Marpen’s own slipper chart, with foot length in centimetres beside each EU size. If your measurement falls between two sizes, they say to take the larger one, and to go up a size from your outdoor shoes if you want them roomier. Sizes on our site come and go with stock.

A soft antibacterial fabric lining used inside many Marpen slippers to help keep feet comfortable.
A cushioned footbed that lifts out for cleaning or airing between wears.
A flexible natural rubber sole bonded during manufacture for durability and quiet movement around the house.
Marpen sizes in EU and many styles are unisex, but the note on many styles is to choose a full size up from your usual shoe size. We would follow that rather than expecting a snug, true-to-size fit like a leather shoe.
Yes, if you are between sizes or like room for a thick sock. On many styles the note is to go up one size from your normal footwear, and that usually gives a comfortable slip-on fit without the heel catching.
Most Marpen slippers are machine washable on a gentle cold cycle. We would air dry them naturally and avoid tumble drying, which can shrink the upper or affect the glued sole.
They are designed as house slippers, though the vulcanized rubber sole is hard-wearing enough for quick trips to the bin or the garden path. We would not treat them as outdoor shoes for wet pavements or long walks.
The slip-on shape and padded upper are fairly accommodating, but if you have a wider foot we would usually go up a full size rather than squeeze into your usual EU size. The removable insole also gives a little extra room if you take it out.
