Do you wear slippers or shoes ins ide or bare feet? We have always worn s li ppers.They are so much warmer than sh oes or bare feet.

Bare feet in summer and socks or slippers in winter, usually slippers down stairs and socks up stairs as I balance better without slippers.

House shoes inside, bedroom slippers only for the bedroom/bathroom.

I wear flat open toe and back slippers. I always take them with me when I go visiting.
Never shoes indoors and I don't like to walk about barefooted.

Indoors, flip flops in summer, my sheepskin house boots when it’s cold. No actual slippers.

bare feet mostly, sheepskin slippers if it is very cold

Slippers or socks. My feet are always cold

I hate wearing shoes. In the summer, I cause much amusement going to and from the bins for example in bare feet.
My feet get very cold in winter so have to give in and wear slippers/shoes.
Naturally, I always have proper footwear when going out.

Crocs. I take them to other peoples houses, too. I have outdoor and indoor ones and it’s easy to slip them on and off. I don’t know how I survived before I discovered them.

Slippers of some sort, always. I might meet a spider I need to stamp on! 👀👀👀

Bare feet mainly.
I dont remember when I even started doing so.
I do take a break sometimes when I keep bashing my toes.

Slippers indoors. My feet get cold very quickly which can lead to cramp, so I need to keep them warm. I wear socks as well once the temp dips (like today). I’m also worried I’ll step onto something sharp such as a small piece of grit that’s sneaked in unnoticed on outdoor footwear, so like to keep my feet covered.

Bare feet in the summer and felt slipper in the winter, usually with thick socks .

BlueBelle Sun 29-Sept-24 17:46:31

I have crocs with removable lining

I always have something on my feet, but I suffered during covid with slippers all the time. So I wear indoor trainers if I’m in all day, or change into slippers when I come back home.
I really walk round in bare feet, but what I wear indoors are for indoors only.

Grandma70s Sun 29-Sept-24 17:41:08

I’m looking for some really nice cushioned socks to wear instead of slippers.

FlexibleFriend Sun 29-Sept-24 17:37:35

Bare feet whatever the weather my house is warm .

ginny Sun 29-Sept-24 17:31:12

Bare feet in warm weather.
Progressive to socks and then slippers as well in cold weather.
Never flip flops, too uncomfortable and dangerous.

Ladyleftfieldlover Sun 29-Sept-24 17:27:00

Slippers. Never bare feet. We have two cats and I don’t really want to tread in something they’ve brought in (they left a rat in the kitchen last week) or brought up!

floor sox winter bare foot other seasons

@Delia22 I love idle curiosity it makes for a fun thread.
I get really cold feet too, when I pop a hot water bottle in bed I always put it near my feet, the rest of me is usually warm.

Please don’t think I’m being rude - I’m not, I’m just interested - why do you want to know?

Just idle curiosity! Both of our daughters go barefoot or socks! My feet are too cold for either!

MissInterpreted Sun 29-Sept-24 15:20:20

As I said on the other slipper thread, I practically live in mine. Shoes off as soon as I get in, slippers on! My cosy furry boot ones most of the year, but I do have croc-type ones which I will wear if it's really warm.

Grandmadinosaur Sun 29-Sept-24 15:19:51

Flip flops in summer, slippers in winter.

Mollygo Sun 29-Sept-24 15:14:13

Crocs in Summer, Slippers in winter (now!)
I watched a video clip a while back of people cutting the soles out of their shoes so they could go barefoot but still look as if they had shoes on. I wondered why.
Well it was on Tik-tok but they must have well maintained pavements and no dog poo where they lived.

Slippers - I love my slippers!
