3Ilse Jacobsen Tulip Slip-on Sneakers : Perfect for Problem Toes
Was I hiding under a rock this summer? These adorable Ilse Jacobsen Tulip slip-ons have over 200 customer reviews at Nordstrom, mostly five star…and I’m just now noticing them? How about you? Have you seen these? Do you have a pair? If not, let’s find out why they’re featured here on the leading blog for comfortable shoes.
Process of elimination: if you need enhanced arch support, read no further–these are not your shoes. If what your feet crave is a pillowy insole with soft non-irritating uppers, read on.
The perforated uppers are made of recycled microfiber and glide smoothly over bunions and hammertoes. Ali, a Zappos customer raves about her new comfortable shoes:
“Ladies with bunions and arthritic big toes, relief is finally here! I have found it more and more difficult to fit into fashionable shoes comfortably, and these shoes were the answer to my prayers!”
The leather-lined removable insole sits atop a thick rubber outsole. This combo provides a “walking on clouds” type experience. Some customers use the Tulip as a travel shoe since it’s lightweight, packs easily, is breathable and provides superior cushioning and traction. Plus, I’ve read that they’re washable too!
A word in sizing: most customers find the Tulip to run small. We recommend ordering up a size. If the shoe still feels a bit tight, realize it will stretch with wear.

Find the Ilse Jacobsen Tulip in a wide array of colors, euro sizes 36-42 for $78.95 from Zappos, Nordstrom, Amazon.
I have 4 pair of these shoes & I took out the insert & put in my Superfeet which gives me the support I need. I have worn them all summer & hate to see winter come. My black ones have stretched to much so I will order a new pair. Really like these shoes!
Are these Ilse Jacobsen shoes machine washable?
I don’t believe they are. I’ve never washed mine. You can use a damp cloth to clean the uppers, but I wouldn’t put them through the washer 🙂
