Slipper and method for manufacturing slipper

A method for manufacturing a slipper, the method comprising steps of:

• stitching a vamp and an insole together;
• and
• stitching the vamp and an outsole together, wherein:
• (a) the outsole includes a heel region, an instep region, a toe region, and a perimeter extending around the heel, instep and toe regions, the outsole comprising:
• (i) an outsole bottom;
• (ii) a supporting sole structure extending from at least a portion of the outsole bottom in at least one of the heel, instep and toe regions to provide elevation and including cells within the supporting sole structure for reducing weight;
• (iii) a sidewall provided around the outsole perimeter, the sidewall including a lip having a height sufficient for stitching a vamp thereto, the lip extending along the perimeter of the outsole;
• and
• (iv) the outsole comprises a molded polymeric material;
• (b) the insole comprises a foam layer and fabric layer, the fabric layer covering the foam layer to provide a sock for contacting a wearer's foot, the insole being constructed for fitting within the sidewall of the outsole;
• (c) the vamp has a vamp perimeter constructed and arranged for attachment to the outsole lip extending along the perimeter of the outsole, wherein:
• (i) the vamp and the sock are sewn together along the vamp perimeter;
• (ii) the vamp and the outsole are sewn together along the outsole lip extending along the perimeter of the outsole;
• and
• (iii) the vamp is constructed to provide the slipper with an open toe construction.
