You may have wondered at some point or other, why should you get men’s slippers in size 16. Well, the first and most obvious reason for you to do so would be because you have size 16 feet, or perhaps a size or two up or down, depending on the kind of fit you like in your slippers. That much doesn’t really need to be said, but we said it, and now we can dispense with the ceremony and get into the meat of this article.

Slippers, regardless of their size, are a great buy and a great investment. Even if you don’t appreciate the luxurious comfort and warmth they can offer your feet, especially through the colder months, surely you can get behind some of these following points.

First, slippers will protect you against one of the most insidious misfortunes that can befall a person: wet socks. If you have never experienced wet socks, then you are truly blessed. If you hope to never experience wet socks, get a pair of slippers. If you are indifferent, then we can’t help you.

That aside, slippers actually come with a lot of benefits on top of the fact that they can protect you against wet socks. First off, nocturnal falls and stubbed toes are largely attributable to a lack of protection for the feet which can easily be solved with a pair of slippers. If you get a nice pair of slippers, you will automatically be at a lower risk of slipping and falling on tile or on wood, or anywhere in the middle of the night for that matter.

Slippers will also keep your feet warm, which may be able to help prevent you from catching illnesses. They will also cover your feet, which will help protect you from contracting viruses, bacteria and fungi through the skin on your feet. That can and does happen, and slippers can help protect against it.

Right there we have shared a number of reasons that you should pick up a pair of men’s slippers in size 16 (if your shoe size is size 16, of course) but these reasons really aren’t size-specific. If you can get behind fewer wet socks, fewer nighttime slips and spills and a lower risk of getting sick, then we can say we’ve done the job and the mission is accomplished.

That’s on our end. On your end, you still need a pair of slippers, but where can you go if you wear a men’s size 16 when most outlets don’t sell anything beyond a 12, and then only rarely? What you can do is take a virtual trip to XLfeet.com, where you will find the collection to end all collections of footwear in men’s extended sizes.
