Description

Visit the Store Visit the Store About Us RockDove was originally born on a beach. A shoe repair shop that resoled hiking boots for locals in Santa Monica, CA, we began making slippers to comfort their trail-wearied feet. Twenty years later, we're still making footwear for après adventure. Inspired by the bright hues and laidback vibes of our SoCal beachtown, every pair is made to feel like vacation for your feet. Rooted in SoCal’s carefree spirit, RockDove slippers are easy to slip on, machine washable, and versatile for indoor/outdoor wear. Featuring a triple-layer insole for maximum comfort. Synthetic uppers (unless stated otherwise) with either rubber or EVA soles. No animal parts are used. Every design is fit tested prior to production. Being homegrown, we know American sizing. With RockDove, you're not taking risk with foreign brands that just can't get our sizing right. All RockDove slippers are machine washable, so you can spend more time relaxing and less time cleaning. Whether it's dust, stains, or odors, simply throw them in the wash and they'll come out looking as good as new. Most shoe brands don't pay enough attention to slippers. The way they're designed and made hasn't changed in decades. RockDove's mission is to take the world's most neglected shoe and give it a modern makeover. We experiment with innovative fabrics used in performance footwear, and apply design principles from fashion shoemaking. We're always thinking about slippers and how to make them even better. This focus on a single product helps us stick to our core beliefs in business - the 4 C's: The sole-crushing shoes or boots you wear during your daily 9-to-5 can wreak havoc on the 100-plus muscles, ligaments, and tendons in each ankle and foot, causing—ouch!—pain. Coming home to a pair of RockDove's, with their plush memory foam, breathable fabrics, and lightweight soles, feels like heaven for your feet. They're slippers that let your feet move and groove every way they need to. (Just remember to tell your puppy they're not his new chew toy). Many people see slippers and think “they’re just slippers.” And comfort is the only thing that matters, right? We don't think so. Based in the West Coast fashion capital, we're constantly scouting the latest fabrics from LA’s Fashion District and star-inspired trends from Hollywood just 10 miles down Santa Monica Boulevard. From chic silhouettes, vibrant colors, to bold prints that never before found their way onto slippers, we're out to prove that mundane can be beautiful. Throughout 2020, RockDove donated slippers to US and UK healthcare workers and first responders who fought the pandemic on the frontlines. We couldn't imagine what it feels to be in their shoes, so we gave them ours - the best RockDove memory foam slippers to rest their tired feet after a long shift. RockDove was created for five birdwatchers of the Los Angeles Audubon Society in 2002. They were our customers, when we weren't yet a slipper company, but a beachside workshop in Santa Monica, California that resoled hiking boots. For fifteen years we protected the feet of avid adventurers as they trekked punishing terrains across southern California's mountains and deserts. As their local shoe cobbler, when customers had footwear needs, they came to us. And over time they asked for something that was badly missing, not in their time conquering the outdoors but in their lives at home—quality indoor shoes to console their high-mileage, trail-weary feet. So for Christmas that year, we handmade five pairs of slippers for our long time Audubon customers using a low-cut boot last. Shoe brands in southern California, where sunny beaches and flip flops rule, don't pay much attention to slippers. So we had little to build on. However, we did know how to make comfortable, long lasting footwear. Using mattress memory foam, gel insoles, anti-shock cushioning from hiking boots, and more, we designed slippers with the goal of comforting extremely tired feet. Two months later when we sent out a newsletter about our little experiment, customers responded with 350 mail orders. We named our slippers after the most mundane bird we knew, the rock dove (pigeon) often seen strutting the boardwalks of Santa Monica Pier. They’re a memento of where we’re from and what we represent. To this day our legacy of creating footwear as if for the most exhausted, adventure-wearied feet lives on. But adventure isn’t always hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Everyone lives their own version of it, every single day. We make slippers so that anyone who’s on their feet all day—not just passionate outdoorsmen but teachers, chefs, nurses, cashiers, traffic cops, postal workers, and more—can count on switching into the world’s most comfortable slippers once they get home. Our quest to get comfort down to a science pushed us to become one of the earliest adopters of high-density memory foam in slippers. In 2004, we reached out to local sleep experts at the Long Beach Mattress Company to source their memory foam toppers, which we then molded into insoles. But mattress comfort didn't exactly translate to slipper comfort. So we obsessively tweaked the density and firmness ratings of our foams to create that “sweet spot” level: one that offers incredible comfort, yet not so much cushioning that you’ll feel like walking in quicksand. Today, at the heart of each RockDove slipper is a multilayered foam construction—a 40-70D memory foam pressure-mapped to every part of the plantar aspect, a support foam that adds firmness, and an anti-shock EVA layer.
