Slippers! Not just for Christmas

I bought two pairs just before last Christmas. One pair for me and a pair for DD.

This time of year I go barefoot.

Clearly no grandchildren’s Lego pieces lurking on your carpets!

I wear thong sandals all year round. I do have a pair of sheepskin slippers but it has to be really really cold before I wear them.
I remember the pain of those Lego pieces MawBe

I wear Birkenstocks around the house so they're my slippers.

I always buy slippers with rubber soles so I can wear them to hang the washing out etc without changing shoes. I usually don’t wear outdoor shoes indoors to protect the carpet.

My present slippers have dog eared ribbon bows from our puppy’s sharp teeth. After much searching I managed to find a pretty pair of pink mules with an indented unchewable pattern - only cost a fiver from everything£5 so if she chews them not too worried, and I have a respectable pair to visit dd with now we are allowed.

I have a pair bought for me for Christmas but I only wear if it’s really cold I’m usually barefoot or wear flip flops in the house can’t remember when I last bought any.

I wear moccasin type slippers when it’s chilly as they’re robust enough to wear out to the bin etc, they go in the washing machine when necessary, last pair bought about 2 years ago. Flip flops or barefoot when it’s warm, no dogs or Lego!

No there isn’t Maw.
My son in law is responsible for the only Lego piece in my house which he added to my bathroom beach display and then waited for me to notice and say something ?

No slippers here. I wear canvas shoes, flip flops or go barefoot if it’s very warm.

I have mule type slippers for wearing around the house but, now that I look at them, they look pretty shabby. I don't like to be barefoot because there are always bits of Lego, game counters and various bits of amputated doll's anatomy lurking from the GC and they hurt like hell when you step on them. Trying to find nice looking, non frumpy slippers is like looking for hen's teeth.

Last week Maw from Totes. They are ballet style and elasticated around the foot. I now have 3 pairs in different colours.
I’ve got “back door shoes” and I can slip them on over the ballet slippers if I need to pop outside quickly ?

Guilty pleasure - Crocs! They do a slimmer version which fits the bill perfectly (for me!)

I have cold feet so almost always wear slippers, usually of the real sheepskin variety. The last pairs I bought were in Feb this year. I’ve found it’s the best time to buy. Less choice but much cheaper than before Christmas. These were moccasin type, solid bases, sheepskin and cosy, about £8.00 per pair on Amazon.

Always wear slippers in winter always feel that they are part of being warm and toasty. Always have 2 or 3 pairs on stand by. Flip flops in the summer months.

I'm quite hot in slippers. I did buy a new pair about a year ago but like sodapop it needs to be cold to wear them.

I wear summer sandals rather than slippers , mine are in the washing machine just now , after reading Maws post ??‍?

I've been wearing my sheepskin slippers for most of the past year and a bit, unless I've been out of the house, of course. My alternative has been a pair of M&S slip-on trainers which are also very comfy and, most importantly, non-slip. I've 'discovered' my crocs, hiding under my wardrobe, and given them a good wash, so that gives me another alternative. I need width and comfort to accommodate my burgeoning bunion.

I have some light-ish ones from Joules that aren’t granny-ish - they were a present from a dd.

When it’s cold I wear my sheepskin house boots from Celtic Sheepskin - I really love them. On my 2nd pair now. You can also wear them out of doors but the sole is lighter than that of their outdoor boots.
Plus they are made in Cornwall from local materials - not in China with skins from who knows where. And you can wash them in the machine.

In weather like this though (it’s hot here at the mo) I will usually wear flip flops at home.

I've never had a pair of slippers but do wear crocs around the house and garden. I have 2 pairs so when one pair is in the washing machine I still have a pair to wear.

I like my slippers and wear them year round. I buy sketchers keepsakes with outdoor soles so that I can walk out on our gravel to the bins and the washing line.
I also have some Furoshiki shoes for when the weather is hot. I dont like wearing shoes or sandals in the house.

Have soft slip on sneakers for indoors, ballet slippers after shower, bare feet for hot days, garden shoes by back door. Fussy not, ?

I wear flip flops in the summer. In winter I like my feet to be warm and cosy I usually get some slippers in TKMaxx or M&S. if it’s really cold in winter I have some Ugg style slipper boots that DH bought me one Christmas many moons ago.

I've just moved into a bungalow with cold tiles in the bathroom and kitchen, you've reminded me to buy some.

I always said when getting home “can’t think until I’ve got my slippers on”. The local market used to sell cheap “Flossies” for about £10. Used to use these for Summer as nice and cool but can’t get them now and Amazon is quoting expensive ones.
