How to Choose the Right Babouches: Your Most Frequently Asked Questions
Do Moroccan babouches fit true to size?
Moroccan babouches (also known as Moroccan slippers) often run slightly smaller than standard European or US sizing. In most cases, we recommend going one size up.
If you’re between sizes, it’s best to choose the larger one for extra comfort — especially if you plan to wear them as indoor slippers.
The leather is naturally soft and flexible, meaning your babouches will gently adapt to the shape of your foot over time.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Yes — naturally.
Leather softens with wear and gradually adapts to the shape of your foot. That’s exactly what makes leather babouches so comfortable for everyday use.
Leather or fabric babouches: do they feel the same?
Yes — and it’s often a surprise.
Even when the outer layer is fabric, the inside remains leather. The result: a soft, breathable, and comfortable feel against your skin.
The real difference comes down to style more than comfort.
Can you wear babouches outdoors?
Our babouches are designed as indoor slippers, made for use at home. They’re soft, lightweight, and extremely comfortable — but not suited for outdoor surfaces.
There are Moroccan slippers with reinforced soles for outdoor use, but at Latitude 31N, we’ve chosen to focus on indoor comfort above all.
Are babouches comfortable for everyday wear?
Yes — that’s exactly their strength.
Lightweight, flexible, and breathable, babouches are a great alternative to traditional slippers. They allow your feet to move freely while still offering immediate comfort.
How do you care for your babouches?
Leather babouches:
avoid contact with water
clean gently with a soft cloth (dry or slightly damp)
let them air dry naturally
Over time, the leather will develop a natural patina — part of what makes each pair so beautiful.
Fabric or velvet babouches:
gently remove dust with a soft brush or dry clothdépoussiérer délicatement avec une brosse douce ou un chiffon sec
avoid rubbing or soaking the material
for small stains, dab lightly without overworking the fabric
Is every pair identical?
No — and that’s exactly what makes them special.
The materials used — whether leather or carefully sourced textiles — can show slight variations. Mobra velvet, for example, features embossed or carved textures with rich tonal nuances, giving each pair a distinctive look. Every pair of babouches has its own character.
How to Choose Your Babouches Size
Option 1: Choose your usual size. If you are between sizes, we recommend going one size up for extra comfort.
Option 2: Measure your foot:
Place your foot flat on a sheet of paper
Mark the tip of your longest toe and the back of your heel
Measure the distance in centimeters (cm) or inches (in)

Why Wear Babouches at Home? A Customer Story from Virginie
“I don’t wear anything else at home anymore.”
They’re comfortable from morning to night, and my feet can breathe even after hours of wear.
They’re incredibly easy to slip on — no thinking required.
I wear them just as easily barefoot or with socks, and they always feel great.Je peux tout aussi bien les porter pieds nus qu’avec des chaussettes et elles restent toujours agréables.
What I especially love is that they’re actually beautiful. I can wear them when I have guests over — they don’t look like typical house slippers.
They’ve become an essential part of my daily routine — both practical and stylish.

Choosing a pair of babouches is often simpler than it seems. Once you’ve found the right size, everything comes down to style, material… and above all, how you want to wear them in your everyday life.
Comfortable, easy to live with, and always a little distinctive, they naturally find their place at home — a lighter, more elegant alternative to traditional house slippers.
And then there’s that small detail that makes all the difference: a pair you slip on without thinking, but still can’t help noticing.
