A premium room shoe from the Lana collection.
Woven on slow Japanese looms, the luxurious Lana collection has a soft, cashmere-like weave that feels like a plush blanket on the skin. An essential part of every Japanese home, room shoes evoke the sweet relief of coming home after a long day. This luxurious version reinvents the standard room shoe style with washable 100% cotton fibers and a durable suede-like sole. As functional as they are beautiful, the Lana room shoes keep your feet warm and comfortable during those moments of everyday luxury.
Lana's cozy fabrics also available in Bath Towels here.

Room shoes are designed for maximum comfort and are very forgiving when it comes to sizing, but it is important that your foot is not larger than the footbed. To ensure a proper fit, put on the type of socks you plan to wear with your room shoes and measure the length of your foot (in centimeters) while standing. Compare this measurement with the Japanese sizing in the chart below - which is also measured in centimeters - to determine the appropriate size. If you fall between sizes, round up, and if you have particularly wide feet, consider moving up one size.
Care:
These shoes feature a soft sole and are intended to only be worn indoors. Machine wash with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry low.
Kontex products are woven at gentle speeds on an old fashioned weaving machine in Imabari, where towel-making has been the regional speciality for over 200 years. This slow weaving process brings out the natural softness of the yarn, making the towels extremely soft, yet durable enough for everyday use. Kontex towels are highly absorbent, lightweight, fast-drying and environmentally friendly.

Kontex
Since 1934, Kontex has been crafting high-quality towels in Imabari, Japan. The secret to Kontex’s softness is in the manufacturing process. Each Towel is made from fine, garment quality thread that’s loosely twisted for the highest level of softness. Such threads would break on modern weaving machines, thus Kontex towels are gently woven on traditional, low-speed machines to maintain the integrity of the thread and achieve a level of softness that modern machines cannot produce.
Because towels contact the skin, we find it imperative that no substances which could affect the body remain on the surface of the towel. Kontex products are carefully washed with large quantities of fresh spring water from the melted snow of Mt. Ishizuchi, ensuring every thread is free from impurities.
