Slippers

Slippers every time

I wear slippers when I visit at daughters house , they are kept there, which I change into after taking my shoes off. I have slippers at home ( both are M&S flat mules don’t like closed in slippers as make my feet too hot!) but only wear them half the time. I walk around in socks or bare feet mostly. Always bare feet in the summer.

Davida1968 it was a thread asking for advice about styles of slipper not my point in my OP and in addition it carries a “zombie” warning ie of being over a year old.

I prefer to have bare/socked feet, but on wood floors that can be very cold, so I DO have a pair of slippers. But I'm always forgetting where I've taken them off. So half the time I don't wear them because they're lost.

MawB, I am like you in that I cannot think in slippers. I work from home and can’t wear them for that! ? They make me feel slow and idle so not good if I need to be bright and engaged!

They are always super-lovely ones though, most recent pairs have been made by Shepherd, and I do wear them in the evening if I’m gawping at the TV or if I’m maybe sitting reading. I’ve also been known to take them to my daughter’s house if it’s chilly or I’m likely to be there some time.

I too have a pair of “indoor shoes” some leather ballerina-type virtually flat summer shoes which I can (thank goodness) think in without any problems!

No, Davida1968 it was over a year ago.

Should that be houseshoes and housecoat ??

Indoors bare feet or fit-flops.

My mum and paternal grandmother only ever wore dainty slip-on slippers with heel and bit of fluff across the toes.?
They both had a new pair every Christmas.
Always in a different colour.

My father always referred to slippers as house shoes and a dressing gown as a house coat

I have the same houseboots witzend. I haven`t worn them yet, my feet are still too warm, in fact I have kicked my slippers off. I do like them on when I wake up, cosy

Didn't we have a very similar post last month?

Another slipper lover...

I have a pair of Glerups, a Danish brand. They are boiled wool tops with suede soles. So comfy and not too hot. Most Canadians take off shoes at the door, it would be very rare to find someone wearing shoes indoors.

In summer I have a pair of Birkenstock sandals that rarely leave my feet. I bought them specifically for indoors, but may need another pair!

I wear Nordika leather slippers in the house. That have very good non-slip soles.

I always wear slippers in the house; shoes always come off at the door. I keep a pair of slippers at DD’s and when I visit anyone else I take a pair of light slip on shoes that are kept solely for indoors. I hate sitting in my socks!

Really loopy? Deep joy! They last even longer! They’re the first pair of slip on slippers I’ve had that I can wear to run (metaphorically speaking) up and down the stairs in without them falling off.

Oops NfkDumpling ! Need to clean my glasses ?
They even go through the washing machine too!

I alwYs put my slippers on as soon as I get home. DH needs to wear good supportive shoes as he is diabetic, which I understand, but I find it really annoying that he comes straight in and does not change as it transports dirt into the bathroom, on the stair carpet etc,

Slippers indoors always.
It`s something I was bought up to do the whole family wears them.
It`s sort of a tradition I suppose.

Late at night, feet up, watching TV, in PJs after a soaky bath, I love to put on those thick Heat Holder socks with non-slip soles.

Two things I do as soon as I get in from work.

In the porch, I change out of shoes and into my comfy slippers, and then upstairs to change into my "slobby trousers" (soft jogging bottoms)

Then I'm set for the evening.

I never wear shoes in the house. That doesn't seem right somehow, but I couldn't actually put my finger on why!

Another thing for the `not allowed to do` thread, when young, we were only to wear our slippers in the bedrooms, shoes when dressed downstairs. I sometimes wear slippers now in the evening at home but it still feels a bit wrong! Don`t wear outdoor shoes indoors, most visitors comply too.

I have allocated an old pair of Skechers to wear indoors. They have proper rubber soles as all the slippers I liked had "plastic soles" which are extremely dangerous on some carpets and floors, particularly our stairs.

Mine are a deep purple loopy, it just doesn’t show up too well on the photo. I love them!

I used to be always barefoot or in socks. My feet began to hurt, though, as age seems to have removed all the padding between my bones and the floor. When I go visiting now, my slippers go with me.

It's turned chilly the last few days so the indoor boots have come out. OK, they're not easy to put on or kick off - but they keep my skinny ankles warm!

I have a pair of cozy pink slippers but never wear them as they get too hot for my feet. I bought two pairs of cheap ballerina style shoes in the summer - one pair in orange and another pair in gold. I always wear the gold pair in the house as slippers as they are light and comfortable but don’t scream out “granny slippers”!

I just go barefoot indoors, or wear socks if the heating hasn’t kicked in.
