Waffle Slippers

A basic open-toe terry slipper with a non-woven sole (China, 500-unit run) lands around $1–2; a closed-toe waffle or terry slipper with an EVA foam sole runs $2.50–4.50, driven by the extra material and sole construction.

Closed-toe for durability, warmth, and multi-use hotel programs; open-toe for spa and pedicure settings where toe access matters, and for lower per-unit cost on single-use amenity programs.

Typically 500–1,000 pairs per size and material combination, since the upper fabric and sole are both ordered in bulk rolls or sheets that need a minimum run to be cost-effective.

Waffle is lighter and more breathable, suited to warm-climate resorts and spas; terry is plusher and warmer, suited to cooler-climate hotels where guests want more coverage and cushioning.

EVA foam is the standard choice for cushioning and slip resistance in wet environments; non-woven fabric soles are cheaper but offer less grip and are typically reserved for single-use, dry-environment amenity programs.

Amenity-program slippers are usually specified for single or short-stay use, which allows thinner, cheaper materials; resort or spa slippers meant for repeated multi-day use need sturdier soles and uppers, which raises the per-unit cost.

Textile-upper slippers generally fall under HS 6405 (footwear with uppers of other materials) or HS 6404 depending on sole material. Confirm per SKU, since sole composition affects the classification.
