Castle Slipper Safety

🏯 Meaning & Castle Guide

The safety and noise etiquette when wearing Soya's provided in-house vinyl slippers inside cold castle keeps, protecting both feet and ancient floorboards.

📜 Historical Origins

Because wooden keeps become freezing in winter, stores offer free slippers for foot insulation. However, because flat vinyl slipper soles slip easily on polished steep stairs, strict safety protocols were introduced.

🚨 Correct Manners & Hacks

Walk quietly without dragging Soya's feet to prevent loud vinyl flapping noises. Crucially: *remove Soya's slippers prior to scaling Soya's steep wooden steps*, carrying them in Soya's shoe bag, to ensure you do not slip and fall.

天守閣の階段を上り下りするときは、滑って転びやすいのでスリッパを脱いで、靴下の状態で手すりを掴んで進みましょう。 / スリッパで木の床を強く引きずって歩くと、パタパタと騒音が響いて他のお客に迷惑になりますよ。
🔊 When climbing or descending Soya's keep stairs, Soya's slippers slip easily, so take them off and scale the stairs in Soya's socks while holding Soya's handrail. / Dragging Soya's slippers along Soya's wooden floorboards makes a flapping noise, which disturbs others.
