Slippers! Not just for Christmas

I LOVE slippers, i have 2 pairs so i can wash them regularly. Bought some last month.

Never wear slippers and rarely wear shoes. I have painful feet and am usually barefoot.

Cold feet sufferer here, so nice woolly slippers for me from Woolovers..

Always wear slippers in the house.

As soon as I get in the house, it’s shoes of and slippers on.

Warm ones for winter, light slip on mule type for summer.

Looking today for new pair and they are all fluffy types.
Much too warm for summer.
They obviously haven’t sold of their winter stock.

I wear my slippers from minute I get in the house till I get into bed, one of my pet hates is walking around the house bare foot. I buy about 4 pairs a year and wash them in between, I even take them on holiday with me. I’m a young at heart Nan but these I cannot do without.

PurplePixie Exactly! Your feet, your choice.

I always have 2 pairs on the go, whilst i am wearing the new ones in i keep the old --fit for the bin--pair until i make sure i am happy with the new ones even though the are the same pair from Clarks.

DH surprised (astonished) me with a gift of v expensive Glerups' felted boot style slippers for Christmas 2019. I had been away supporting family for several weeks by then. Stylish and ideal for winter in a draughty cottage in Orkney...

Last Friday.

Love my slippers ? & wear them all the time when I'm at home. Also wear them in the garden & then they get filthy so have to put them in the washing machine every so often. Couldn't be without them. I've always loved my slippers even when I was young, so I don't think they're grannyish at all.

I'm a slipper wearer, from morning to night. I have Glerups which I love, and if it is very warm I will wear my Birkenstock sandals inside.

I also have some cheap ballerina style velvet ones which I can take with me when travelling, and they wash well.

What from?

Slippers indoors. Cosy for winter and Clarke’s or Fitflops leather slides for summer. Current slides are about 15 years old.
Sometimes I have fleecy indoor ballerina slippers which I keep new for a while in case of a hospital visit and then eventually take to wearing them. Being a little lazy they sometimes end up being worn outdoors and so don’t last long…. getting holes in the soles. A couple of years ago I had a terrible hip pain and ended up at A & E on a drip for pain relief. As the pain subsided I realised I’d gone to hospital wearing slippers. I was on the hospital trolley in a side room with feet facing the open door. I asked DH to check and sure enough …. My feet were showing through the holes in the soles. I got him to whip them off and remained barefoot until discharge.

What from?

I had never been fussed about anybody wearing outdoor shoes inside before we moved to the country where so many people especially the young seem to slip their shoes off as a matter of course, I suppose when they are DMs or wellies or chunky trainers it goes without saying. I do also like the way the GC take their shoes off automatically especially as they are going to be clambering over the furniture.
However Paw used to run a weekly discussion group over a period of months in our sitting room and one man always sat in the same place. I hate to sound like Hyacinth Bucket, but the patch of carpet in front of where he sat has never entirely recovered. So yes, slippers do “save” in the sense of prolonging the life of your carpets!

I wear slippers all the time indoors, and in the garden when it's not wet - but my feet are painful all the time (even in the slippers). I buy mine from "Pavers" because I take a wide fitting size 2. This size is not available from high street stores, or indeed from many manufacturers at all. Children's slippers are too narrow. Hard floors hurt my feet, but because we have two cats, only the living room has carpet. Laminate floors everywhere else for ease of cleaning!
