I wonder if widerfitshoes. co.uk would have something to suit. They do a wide range of shoes and slippers that are supportive and have Velcro fastenings. I wear their trainers all the time and find them very comfortable.

Googling the Ice Angel slippers you can buy them on Skechers own website and you can get 20% off if you sign up to the newsletters. You can also buy them on the Charles Clinkard website.

I gave up on slippers and have a pair of shoes which I've designated as "house shoes". Much better for anyone with mobility issues, IMO. (They are a nice colour and are both comfortable & supportive.)

That is exactly what Haflinger's do. They give perfect support to the feet. As I said, expensive, but worth the money. We spend more time in the footwear we wear indoors than any other.

I often wear my Skechers in the house and I believe they also make slippers.

They do.
Lovely slippers called Ice Angel, so comfortable and supportive, you can buy on Amazon.

P.S. My "house shoes" are a Hotter style with velcro fastening.

I wear Haflinger's in the house. Many styles. Great arch support. But they are expensive.

Try Hotter they aren't cheap but some styles open wide and have velcro strap which can be adjusted to fit your feet. They are very comfortable.

Have a look on the Fit flops website. I suffered from plantar fascists and walking with these was like walking on air.

I have arthritis in right knee and hip. I want some slippers or similar that I can wear as at home most of day. I have been recommended hip replacement hopefully not too long a wait, then knee at some point.
I have slip-on slippers as can’t get down to fasten! They are not very supportive.
Am doing exercises with Versus Arthritis site and physio from time to time. I have Sketchers slip-on trainers but need a shoe horn for the back.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
