Sliders, all year round
Some of the stuff on show makes me wonder if you live in nursing homes.

Not really. I shower every third day whether I need to or not...
The only two pairs of shoes that smell are my mocasin slippers and my birkenstocks. I've no idea why.

I simply cant believe I read this thread, and those Croc's with white socks churn my guts...
Hahahaha exactly my thoughts but sliders and flip flops are even worse.
As stomach churning as wearing shoes with baggy trackie bottoms and a fleece with a wolf on the back, on Blackpool Prom

Top tip
Combine flip flops and socks for that authentic Japanese sniper look.

When I was a lad my family all used moccasins (or moccasin type things) as slippers. You could buy them in M&S etc. I stopped using them when I got my 1st girlfriend as I was frankly too embarrassed to be seen with slippers on.
I've had loads of different pairs of slippers over the years, including some of the poncey/pricey type above, none have come close to the comfort of these cheap ones with a memory foam insole that I got from Amazon:

Someone once told me that the holes in Crocs are intentional... they are there so your dignity can leak outHaha, and look at the colour of my bad boys, I think it's called baby poo.

MnS suede slippers. £27 (£20 in the sales) comfy, last for ages. Job done.

Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Sword fight - one bloke is wearing flip-flops the other is completely blind. There's a lesson here
Well you guys haven't let me down have you
Having a quick read through this morning I see we seem to fall into the following general categories;
- Footware abomination, Crocs, Sliders, Flip flops (ffs) and nothing
- Scandinavian type, felt, wool rubber sole
- Ugg, North-face boot type
- Shoes (!)
- Velvet smoking jacket types
- M&S
....have I missed any?
Boot types will be far too warm for me, but I can see the appeal. I don't frequent gentlemens clubs and don't have a smoking jacket so the velvet type are out. I don't own a shell suit, jogging pants or any white socks so the first category are out too.
So unless we come up with any other options I'll check out some of those Scandi types......the Giesswein look particularly good value with that offer code to.
Thank you all for your input.....I knew I could rely on you.
Giesswein and Haflinger are actually Bavarian/tyrolean types. Only use those and have an excellent arch support. If possible get rubber lined wooden or cork soles rather than plastic linked.

I have worn these for years https://www.samuel-windsor.co.uk/men...EaAjMnEALw_wcB
Great for in the house and the garden. Reasonably durable (the soles eventually split in my experience).
Precisely. But why stop at slippers?
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Thanks. Just bought a pair using that code.Giesswein FTW
Beautifully made - pure wool are cool in summer, warm in winter.

They're ok if you're a woman, cross dresser or on holiday in Benidorm.
Wearing flip flops, crocs or sliders is as big a sin as having a mullet or pony tail when you were bald on top was, in the 80's.

Which of your categories do the mahabis fall into?
What a bizarre outlook. Wearing flip flops outside with jeans or something is a no no in my books but around the house??

Good point.....I would probably put them in a category of their own. The Secrid of the slipper world I suspect. I do like the look of them but at £79 a pair.....to much.
Similar to the 'Scandinavian' ones.
I stand corrected......maybe I should have used a more Euro/Mountain type description. I do need to explore them more though as I suspect that is what I'm going to try. Thanks

These from Amazon. £17, toasty, with memory foam inners and indoor/outdoor soles. Why pay more?
I pay more to avoid synthetics in slippers
My grandmother wore a pair like those.
There is wisdom in your family then!
I wear through the wool ones too quickly.
100%!!
Sorry, you’ve lost me.

I have some wool felt slippers from Mongolia that I'm wearing in the colder months, and they've not worn through in 4 or 5 years. The leather sole did, but sewing on another was easy enough. No brand though, so can't suggest them unfortunately!
We'll have have to agree to differ then
I've got about 12 Barbours which you may find strange.

Washing?!
For those with wool-lined slippers, how do you clean them every few weeks? Can't go in the washing machine, I'd imagine.
Thanks! :)
Why would I find it strange? I have one myself!We'll have have to agree to differ then

Well I've now placed an order for some of the GIESSWEIN ones with 25% off.
Thank you all for taking part in my amusing and enlightening little thread.....you haven't let me down!
Some truly great suggestions (I did like the Mahabi's but too expensive for slippers IMHO) and some truly hideous......what an eclectic bunch we are.
Have a lovely weekend.
Wow, and a green Heuer 510.502 to match the hat band too.Sorry, you’ve lost me.
Impressive
To add to my dignity shedding Crocs I have a pair of green clogs with wooden soles incoming. Pics to follow.Well you guys haven't let me down have you

To be honest, the feathers don't normally live in that hat - they were given to me by a park ranger in Tanzania a couple of years back. The hat itself only gets worn every 3 or 4 years...

From reading this thread I’ve realised that I’m happy with my dozens of pairs of hotel slippers that I’ve acquired.
However, what I really need is a red velvet smoking jacket to wear around the house. That would go down well on Zoom.
Slippers......... one word Sorel
They are the best for all round use and as a PSA, they are currently half price.

George at Asda man myself.
I replace like for like when the rubber sole disengages from the main body and I end up falling over.

If you're a size 9!
This has led me to the conclusion that my wool was synthetic - doh!
I definitely don’t get slippers at all. I really can’t bear socks that much either.

The best thing that happened in this thread for Crocs boy was the sudden appearance of red trousers.
