I usually wear M&S mules with memory foam support but they dont last, we have a lot of stairs, and I'm 70 now!!

Mahabis are your friend - lots of styles/colours but very comfortable and the last for ages mahabis.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm63pzeC_5AIVC7TtCh2viA5LEAAYASAAEgJFPfD_BwE

Bare feet most of the time but when I feel the need for warmth I wear slipper socks (with grippers on the sole)

I am wearing an old pair of Moshulu slip on sandals as slippers/ indoor shoes, at the moment.
Earlier in the hot weather, I just went barefoot, lovely feeling on tiled floors. [bliss emoticon]
Sheepskin slippers would be too hot for me, although I like the look of them.
As I threw away my beautifully comfortable, soft leather house shoes, when they wore out, I will have to find another pair, soon.

Yes, Moshulu slippers are bright and hard wearing. I have narrow feet so the style with an elastic strap over the top stop them slipping off.

I like m&s moccasin ones and they last.

Bare feet in warmer weather, suede loafer style in cooler weather and knitted look boot slippers when it’s really cold.
Nothing that will slip off ( so no mules.)

I have loafers like these

but my current slippers are gold which is rapidly wearing off. I bought them in a sale two years ago and am going to need a new pair soon.

This afternoon I ordered some new slippers. I've been wearing Sketchers Bob's slippers but they are wearing out and have holes in the inside now. I ordered these

seacliff I wear mine all the time! It’s chilly up northgrin

seacliff Sat 07-Sept-19 20:19:18

Oh nice Jane. I too have some indoor sheepskin boots for when it's really cold.

Sorry photo didn’t appear first time & then when I posted again, it had confusedblush

I like these sheepskin mules from Costco. I love the real sheepskin on my bare feet, so warm. They also have a good tough sole, so ok for popping outside in. They are not as flat as some of my slippers, and I feel secure when walking in them. www.costco.co.uk/c/Kirkland-Signature-Womens-Shearling-Slipper-in-Chestnut-Size-4/p/243465C

My slippers

janeainsworth Sat 07-Sept-19 20:16:47

dragonfly yours sound the same as mine

Squiffy Sat 07-Sept-19 20:13:58

Pavers for us! Non slip soles, various styles - and reasonably priced!

Jane10 Sat 07-Sept-19 20:13:52

M&S fake Uggs for me in winter and slip on fatties in the summer.

Sara65 Sat 07-Sept-19 20:02:47

Bare feet, or flip flops, haven’t owned slippers since childhood

dragonfly46 Sat 07-Sept-19 19:59:57

I have Sheepskin slippers with hard soles which I can hang the washing out in! My DH gave me them for Christmas a couple of years ago. They are so warm and comfortable. I think they came from JL.

kittylester Sat 07-Sept-19 19:25:43

I've had some Moshulu ones for ages but have never found them that comfy. I'd better get them out again.

Nico97 Sat 07-Sept-19 19:18:57

Bare feet for me too for running around the house. I can't abide having hot feet, which is probably why they stick out from under the duvet all night too grin

Nortsat46 Sat 07-Sept-19 19:18:08

I second Gaunt47, in suggesting Moshulu. Hard wearing, good rubber soles and lots of colours and patterns. I buy a new pair every year. My current ones are navy blue with coloured spots and a cats face with sticky up (velvet lined) ears! This might sound bonkers but I love them.

Moshulu also has lots of styles which don't involve cats faces ...
P.S. I am not on commission ??

Maggiemaybe Sat 07-Sept-19 19:06:50

I never wear slippers. It’s bare feet all the way here, though I do need socks for warmth when the cold weather comes. They’ve made an appearance already this year. sad

GrannyGravy13 Sat 07-Sept-19 19:06:47

Ugg slippers are pricey but extremely comfortable and long lasting.

cornergran Sat 07-Sept-19 19:03:56

I wear Flyflot mule type sandals with a small wedge heel as flat ones make my knee hurt, poor old soul that I am. Good support and excellent price from an Outlet, very comfortable.

A couple of years back I stubbed my little toe, it got wrapped around the ottoman and ended up at right angles to my foot. It hurt a great deal, I hopped around a lot and said some very nasty words. I always wore slippers but that morning I hadn’t had time to put them on before disaster struck. Anyway, since that time I simply cannot wear slippers, a bit back to front but that is how it is. I have two brand new pairs waiting in the wardrobe for when (or if) I feel the need. Sorry, that was a very long winded way of saying have you tried going around the house in bare feet Kitty.
