Dressier house shoes

Oh gosh, I usually take my slippers! Better join you in the Google search!

Ooh yes. I’m certainly not sitting there with my socks/ tights/ stockings on show. Shoes complete the whole look.

I have slippers in all my children's homes!

Yes. I've got some black velvet ballerina type slippers which are really pretty , just with a small red rosette on the front.
I've worn them in hotels all over the place for years. They're getting a bit shabby these days though.

I wish I could wear pretty shoes.

But yes, I was searching for a pair of nice but supportive 'indoor shoes' to take with me when visiting.
No success, though.

Try Pavers. I got some nice grey ballet style slippers with a 'fur' pompom from there. Not too pricy. Avoid MnS black velvet fur lined ballet slippers. They look good but you leave lumps of black fur all over the carpet!

Same here Marydoll. DGS1 loves to find them for me, as that usually means I’m staying longer than usual. At home, I have boot type slippers with hard soles, so I can go outside safely. I can remember having feathered, heeled mules years ago (before I fell downstairs and broke my arm!!).

I tried Pavers today.

They're lovely but my feet aren't. 😥

I take my comfy ankle boots (meant for outdoors - but only used as slippers) in the winter, as I can't stand chilly feet and ankles. They do look quite smart and unusual. In the summer, I'd take a pair of Sketchers pumps, also used as house shoes.

Going to let the side down here, we don’t go to dressy things, at friends, it’s socks or bare feet, depending on the time of year.

SnP Hetty58. I just recently dug out my Hotter Pixie boots. They haven't been worn outside for a couple of years, but are so cosy and warm in this cold weather.

No-one would want to see my bare feet.🦶🦶

They are clean, though 🙂

I have a few pairs of these, I keep a pair in the car and always pop some in a suitcase if we go away, the fold up small and come with a little pouch.

If you are looking at Hotter wait till a weekend, there is often some sort of offer on!

Or wait for their sales maybe. Not long now.

Apparently the Queen Consort wears Comfy Shoes from Sole Bliss. I might invest in a pair of these.

To the horror (apparently) of the rest of Europe, the German standard indoor footwear is Birkenstocks. They are indestructible and the cork-based sole keeps your feet warm. However, the rubber soles with their distinctive pattern do tend to mark tiled floors if looked at in a certain light, so I may start wearing something else, but when I tried some pretty mules my mother had given me, I came quite a cropper on the stairs - more than once!

Haven't really seen anything else here. Germans seem to wear either thick socks or felt slippers in the home. We don't really go to other people's houses very often, except the AC, and the Birkenstocks are quite adequate for there.

Those soles are a nuisance JackyB I wear scoll flip flops in the house and my current ones have a studded sole which leaves imprints all over my tiled floors.

I really dislike large slippers that look as if you are wearing a dead animal on your feet, much prefer my flip flops, without toe post which I can wear with or without socks depending on the weather. A few years ago M&S sold some brocade mules, not too high which I bought to wear over the Christmas period, they looked decorative enough without being over the top. Have looked several times since but they no longer seem to sell anything similar.

We do the same. Indoor shoes at each of our daughters' homes.

Saves remembering. We're usually leaving over in a hurry, somebody needs something that only a GP can accomplish.

Yes, our family is ridiculous, but lovely.

Always keep a soft folding pair of slippers in the bottom of my travel bag, for weekends away, family visits etc. They're always there so I don't forget! Sorry they're not very glam for the OP though.

Germans have got it right because arch support is so important for those of us with knee or hip problems.

Sole Bliss is a bit more expensive than I'd prefer to pay, but I have so many shoes that I can't justify buying more.

I have a selection of ballet-type flats. Boden is good for them Carvela. I take what is appropriate for the session. I also have a pair of fold-up velvet slippers with a big bow I think they were bought in the House of Fraser many moons ago they go with me as well. I take a 4 and a half ,not many half sizes these days so have trouble buying shoes or boots and snap them up when I see them. M&S do half sizes but as others say they shed.
