Sourcing EVA Pillowslides Slippers for PUFFIE Brand

After discussions with the factory and communicating the details with the client, the team met to discuss and analyze the situation and identified several difficulties that needed to be addressed.

1. The difficulty in handling EVA materials

Problem: The EVA slipper material has an odor.

Solution: A new environmentally friendly EVA foaming material was used and the finished products should be ventilated for about 2 hours.

2. The difficulty in the deformation of EVA Pillowslides slippers

Problem: EVA Pillowslides slippers will deform and shrink under strong sunlight.

Solution: The physical shape and molecular structure inside will change and plastic polymers break down under the sun’s high-energy rays causing damage to the plastic. So the slippers should avoid long term exposure to sunlight and be kept in a cool, ventilated place after washing.

3.Slippers burr problem

Problem: EVA Pillowslides slippers have burrs during production release.

Solution: Repair mold wear, increase manual inspection process, increase repair and deburring process

4. The difficulty of treating blackened slipper soles

Problem: The soles of the shoes will turn a little yellow and black with time and human weight pressure.

Solution: EVA Pillowslides slippers will not turn black. These slippers are designed with a one-injection molding, i.e., a solid sole, which is lightweight, environmentally friendly and less prone to cracking over time. And dust and water will not enter the material inside, so it will not turn black.

5. The difficulty of handling slipper sizes

Problem: For those who usually wear size 37 shoes, what size is the right size for slippers?

Solution: For average foot sizes, we recommend going 1 size up from the usual size, i.e., size 38. For those with thin feet, size 37 is the normal choice.

6.The difficulty of non-slip treatment of slipper soles

Problem: Slippers that are worn for a long time will have their textures smoothed out and will not be slip-resistant.

Solution: The textured sole of the slippers is designed to be slip resistant. These textures are designed to increase the friction and prevent the slippers from becoming too slippery, thus increasing the non-slip effect.
