Has anyone any recommendations for a pair of slippers with plenty of toe room but which don't slip off at the heel please?
(Ditto trainers or walking boots)
I have to wear orthotics for plantar fasciitis so need something I can close tightly, if that makes sense.
My current pair which I got in market about 10 years ago just about do the job but are a bit too "pointy" in the toe and the velcro's not really in the right place to do them up tightly enough to not slip off when I am walking around the house, which is especially worrying on the stairs.
I'm fine in the warmer weather wearing "anatomically correct" flip flops but I need something I can wear my thick socks in and put on/take off in a hurry.
Thanks ...

I bought Sketchers to wear round the house as I have Plantar Fascilitis, i cannot wear them as they do not give me support, so I wasted my money. In the summer I wear Birkenstocks, in winter I suffer as haven't found a slipper that supports.

Me too!
Well, whichever of us finds the Holy Grail of slippers first will have to let the other know!

I've said this before on GN - don't have slippers - have a comfortable pair of shoes which you keep as "house shoes". I have mobility issues and i was given this advice by both a chiropodist and a physiotherapist. (My "go to" shoes are Hotter, and I have pretty gold pair for in the house.)

I wear Sketchers indoor and out, practical and comfortable with no risk of causing falls.
