What footwear do you wear indoors?

4 years ago I had a TKR and was asked to bring flat shoes, easy to get on and off, with no fastening, into hospital to wear after surgery. I was unsure what to get until a neighbour suggested boat shoes. I got 2 pairs of an M&S style. They are very comfortable, stay on and (so far!) don’t wear out.

Bare feet...house and garden....

I never have bare feet apart from bedtime, wandering from bedroom to bathroom. Mainly because the cats often bring little presents in, and I would hate to tread on the remains of something squidgy with my bare feet (shudder).

I have old slip on sandals like Birkenstocks, that I wear all summer. In winter it's my Costco real sheepskin slippers, or if REALLY cold, my trusty old Emu sheepskin boots. Reduced in TKMaxx becuase of the colour (lilac).

Lucca sorry!!! I only asked! I missed it! Ok!!!

I have about a dozen pairs of flip-flops that I wear all summer..only the fabric ones though from one particular firm...so comfy!..
I used to wear cheap crocs sometimes but the soles wear and get very slippery and I stopped after one hilarious incident ..
I was rushing from the kitchen, dinner and glass of milk in hand (trying not to miss an interesting programme) when my foot suddenly shot from under me (water from dog's bowl on floor) and I found myself lying flat on my back staring at the ceiling ..my dinner and glass of milk landing side by side about 3ft away, all still intact...well, mashed potato was a bit flat and milk splashed up the door a bit!.. ??? My husband..never one to panic..glanced down over his shoulder at me and said "Oh, that DOES look fun..I must try it sometime!" ?????
Have to add, I think the Angels were looking after me.. I didn't have a mark on me, not an ache or pain anywhere amazingly.. we laughed for a long time though!. ?

These old Moshulus. My big toes go through the ends so I patch them every so often. Last time it was demure floral hexagons but this time my 4 year old granddaughter was with me so she chose this style.

"Are you Compo?"... cried laughing!.. ??????

Can I ask what are sliders? Thanks

Lightweight sketchers with memory foam insoles. I have plantar Fachiitis and my heels get quite painful.

Oh I wish we had a like button!

I haven’t been near another living being for months. I’ll take all the kisses going.

Good question FlyingHandbag. I generally go barefoot but I do own slippers which I sometimes wear when I have visitors. I have horrid feet. I don’t like outdoor shoes inside. X

Wow! Fearless grannies on a thread about flip flops and feet!

The endless wonder of Gransnet -

luckylegs I can completely see where you are coming from,
and utterly support every word you said, I’m not afraid either?

MawB just for you xxxx

Warm slippers in the winter.

Slip on mule slippers in the summer.

I never wear my slippers in the garden. Slip on mules left by the back door for outside pottering.

My sliders are silver, sparkly and feminine. The black one's are sliders though. I wear mine in doors Summer and Winter.

Absolutely nothing. I have some Aldi crocs (pink) by the back door which I am supposed to put on when I go out but I invariably forget and the grass feels so nice underfoot. In fact I am mentally writing a post about my grotty feet. Will try and write it up soon.

Back to the original question house shoes that are gradually falling to bits or bare feet. Definitely not crocs or wellies.
