BZees Charlie Slip-On Shoe | Lightweight Comfort & Machine Washable
Our BZees Charlie slip-on is engineered for women who refuse to choose between style and all-day comfort. The stretch knit upper hugs your foot without binding, while our signature Air Infused™ outsole keeps each step cloud-light — the Charlie weighs just ounces per shoe.
The Charlie’s stretch knit upper wraps your foot in a soft, breathable layer that moves with you instead of against you. We chose this fabric because it eliminates pressure points — no stiff seams digging into your toes or rubbing at the heel.
Air Infused™ outsole technology
What makes Air Infused™ different
We inject thousands of tiny air bubbles directly into the rubber compound during manufacturing. The result is an outsole that compresses and rebounds with every step, absorbing shock without adding weight.
Traditional rubber outsoles can make a shoe feel heavy and stiff. Our Air Infused™ construction cuts the weight in half while maintaining traction and durability. You’ll notice the difference the moment you pick up the Charlie — it feels impossibly light for a fully functional walking shoe.
Machine washable care instructions
How to wash BZees Charlie shoes
Remove the insoles and place both shoes in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase. Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent — no bleach or fabric softener. Air dry away from direct heat; never put the Charlie in the dryer, as high heat can warp the Air Infused™ outsole.
The stretch knit fabric dries quickly, usually within a few hours in a well-ventilated room. Once dry, reinsert the insoles and the shoes are ready to wear. We designed the Charlie to handle repeated washing without losing shape or cushioning — many customers wash theirs monthly and report the shoes still look new after years of wear. For routine maintenance between washes, details on keeping your shoes fresh can be found in our complete care guide.

Questions about the BZees Charlie slip-on
Yes, the stretch knit fabric is soft enough to wear barefoot without chafing. Many customers wear the Charlie sockless during warm weather. The breathable knit helps prevent moisture buildup, and the shoes are fully machine washable when they need a refresh.
The Charlie weighs approximately 5 ounces per shoe in a women’s size 7, making it one of our lightest slip-ons. The Air Infused™ outsole technology reduces weight by up to 50% compared to traditional rubber soles, so you get full cushioning without the bulk.
The Charlie features a cushioned memory foam insole that molds to your arch, providing personalized support for various foot types. Many customers with plantar fasciitis report relief when wearing the Charlie for extended periods. The flexible Air Infused™ outsole absorbs shock with each step, reducing strain on your heels and arches.
The knit fabric is designed to return to its original shape after stretching. The gored elastic side panels maintain their tension even after repeated wear and washing. We recommend air drying your Charlie shoes away from direct heat to preserve the fabric’s elasticity — never put them in a hot dryer.
Yes, the insoles are removable and replaceable. The Charlie accommodates standard slip-on insoles or custom orthotics up to about 4mm thick. Remove the original memory foam insole before inserting a replacement to maintain proper fit and cushioning.
The Air Infused™ rubber outsole is slip-resistant and features a tread pattern designed for grip on smooth and slightly wet surfaces. While the Charlie is not a waterproof shoe, the outsole provides reliable traction for everyday walking conditions including light rain and tile floors.
The stretch knit fabric dries faster than canvas or leather, usually within 3 to 5 hours in a well-ventilated room. Place your shoes near a fan or open window to speed up drying. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the Air Infused™ outsole or fade the fabric color.
