The soft armor of a war you've already won by going home.

means A soft, lightweight shoe worn indoors, especially around the house, designed for comfort and warmth rather than going outside.

from A plain compound of "bedroom" and "slipper." The "slipper" half is the older and more telling piece: it comes from the verb "slip," because the shoe is one you simply slip your foot into — no laces, no struggle. The word "slipper" for such footwear dates back to the late Middle Ages. Pairing it with "bedroom" is a more modern domestic specification, marking it as the shoe meant for the soft, private spaces of a home rather than the street.
