Dressier house shoes

Oooh I do love looking at shoes!

This is a nice thread! I do actually need some new slippers but I need a slight heel (due to achilles tendonitis) and a cushioned insole (due to neuropathy in feet) Any suggestions are welcome.

I do like the Margot shoe by Vivalia but feel the sole is way too thin and heel too low for my needs.

Please look at the comments on those Amazon shoes.
Not the Amazon comments.
Just search Naturaliser shoes + comments. That will give you information. It’s not good.

jackyB, I do have a pair of Birks for indoor wear, but I was thinking dressier... These are a bit expensive, but I'm sure I can find something similar for less. We've been invited to a special birthday in February which will be at a friends home, but a bit dressier occasion.

Socks or bare feet for us; it’s exactly the same for those who come over our threshold.

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.

Ditto! But I make a point of having my toenails nicely painted in bare-feet weather!

I was about to say the same Onwardsndupward Everyone seems to have hard, cold floors in this country.
My Swedish friends have a pile of slip-ons by their front door for guests who forget

I like the Moshulu ones but I cant do flat shoes because of my Achilles tendons, sadly.

The Vivaia ones are expensive for synthetic shoes.

Silver flat shoes with 'diamonds' across the front (from Primani) if I think the event is worthy of them. For more casual occasions tiger slippers, which fold up.

We always take our cosy house slippers with us when visiting family and friends. If they were posh people (don't know many of those) it may be different.

I’ve got those 😄

These are quite good - and lots of colours!

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.

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 slippers in all my children's homes!

Now why didn't I think of that? Thank you. Saves traipsing them round the houses.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Or wait for their sales maybe. Not long now.

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

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.

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

They are clean, though 🙂
