Why RockDove

Dedication to Our Craft

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 also spend all of our time on making slippers and nothing else. This focus on a single product helps us stick to our core beliefs in business. These include:

Innovation: we experiment with fabrics typically used in performance footwear Design: we apply design principles from fashion apparel Ethical Manufacturing: fair wages and no animal skins used Consistent Sizing: every product is fit-tested to standard US shoe sizes

We’re dedicated to making just slippers, because even the most mundane things can make a big impact on people’s lives.

Easy Entry Heel Loop

Our slippers are designed with your convenience in mind. The heel loop ensures a hassle-free experience when slipping them on, providing both a functional and stylish element to the footwear. It’s not just about wearing a pair of slippers, it’s about the ease with which you can transition from one moment to the next, and our heel loop aids in that seamless process.

Dual Elastic Gores

Experience a snug and tailored fit with our slippers, thanks to the dual elastic gores. These adaptable features stretch and conform to the unique shape of your feet, ensuring optimal comfort and a secure grip. Whether you’re stepping in or out, the elasticity ensures your slippers move with you, without feeling restrictive. It’s our commitment to combine functionality with comfort, making every step a pleasure.

Quilted Upper

Immerse your feet in the plush warmth of our slippers, designed with a quilted puffy upper reminiscent of a cozy winter jacket. Filled with synthetic down, these slippers trap heat effectively, ensuring your feet stay toasty even on chillier days. The quilted design not only amplifies warmth but also adds a touch of style to your at-home ensemble.

Durable Rubber Outsole

Crafted with a durable rubber outsole, these slippers are designed for versatility. Whether you’re lounging indoors or stepping outside for a quick errand, they provide the stability and protection you need. The robust construction ensures they stand up to daily wear, while the traction grip makes them suitable for a variety of surfaces, even during camping trips. Experience the perfect blend of indoor comfort and outdoor readiness with these all-terrain slippers.

Our Story

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.

The Experiment

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.

Inspired by Adventure, Made for the Everyday

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.

The Sweet Spot Comfort Level

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.
