Slippers

I find Vionic slippers with arch support are very comfortable and give some relief from back pain.

Love my slippers! Super toasty. Don't like slip-ons though because I've got really slim feet and they fall off, especially on stairs. Also have to have a solid sole because I wear them all the time and nip outside in them sometimes as well.

Celtic make lovely sheepskin slippers with robust soles. I’ve had some of their house boots for several years now - can also wear them outside. They can go in the washing machine too.
All their slippers are made in Cornwall, many from U.K. sheepskins.

Another vote for Moshulu slippers. They’re bright and comfortable but not grannyish at all.
They do various styles. I always go for those with an elasticated strap over the top.
I didn’t know they were washable; I might try that!

Yes, I throw mine in the washing machine regularly (good job I proofread that - it said I throw mice in the washing machine

I wear Haflinger felt slippers. Extremely hard wearing and comfortable.

I love my slippers but when I was working at a healthcare charity, the advice was to buy a pair of indoor shoes instead. Slippers are responsible for a high number of slips, trips and falls.

Sorry, Moshulu.

Another vote for moshilu slippers here. Mine are the shape of Ug boots. They have a good sole for nipping out into the garden although I swap them for crocs if I’m going onto the grass etc.

They are also washable

Skechers slippers, they have a proper sole and all the comfort of Skechers shoes, but soft and cosy.

Asda has a sale - I got a pair for £5 (moccasin style) and guess what, one is slightly larger than the other. Or my left foot has shrunk😂you only get what you pay for.

I was recommended Vera cosy slippers by my neighbour I'm now onto my second pair lovely styles

I gave up on slippers and (following orthopaedic advice) nowadays I wear a pair of (slip-on) shoes which I keep solely for this purpose. (No pun intended.) They are more supportive and "robust" than more traditional slippers, and I find them better for my feet. (There are lots of pretty slip-on shoes available: mine are from Hotter.)

Great ideas, I am making my way through them, keep 'em coming.

I discovered these from Landsend several decades ago and hope they'll never be discontinued! Light, warm and robust with soles you can wear outside; they seem expensive but they do last for years - about five to six years, I find.

Fit Flop slippers, a proper sole, I’m always nipping into the garden in mine.
Expensive but worth every penny.

With “difficult” feet I always wear Birkenstocks.

DH bought me a pair of these - maroon - felt bootees (size 8!) for Christmas 2019: www.husandhem.co.uk/37-glerups-slippers?p=2 They are still going strong, constantly warm and with firmly attached leather soles for quick trips outside....Have a beautiful pair of gorgeous purple velvet Moshulu bootees with leopard cuffs 'for best' but much as I love them they seem less robust.... Time will tell...

I wear my Birkenstock toe post sandals all year round. My feet get too hot in slippers.

I have large feet (size 8) so always buy loafer style men’s slippers in a size 9.

They’re comfortable, smart and robust enough for nipping out into the garden. They’re also cheap as chips from Asda so I keep a pair at DD’s for my frequent visits.

Ashcombe agree about croc type shoes, they are ugly but SO very comfortable and surprisingly warm although they don’t look it plus they are very resilient.
The fur lined (and removable) ones are a bonus. They seem to massage my feet as soon as they’re on and great on hot days and on beaches.
Slider style ones in loads of designs too. You could forget you’re wearing em’

Ps I wash mine under the shower when they get manky! Bit of shower gel job done.

Crocs by the back door for outside. Lace up Hotter shoes for indoors. Safe and supportive.

And then for upstairs only, a fab pair of french artisan wool slippers from Bordeaux which were a present from a french friend to my daughter, but lucky for me too small for her. They are all felted wool and so warm. Mules and have a felted wool sole. They were based on the design used by staff in French chateaux so they could move about silently. I make not a squeak.

Me too for the lightweight trainers (also able to kid myself that housework is a sporty past-time). So easy to loose footing especially when carrying things upstairs or on step ladders. Sketchers are ace as Yorklady suggests

I have two pairs of these, from Moshulu - I’m a devil for nipping out in the garden in them!, but they wash well. I have had them for a few years / they last well.

Those look lovely Lucy but I would struggle to keep them on and end up clawing my toes to stop me from walking out of them.
I use a pair of Skechers for slippers, they have rubber soles so they are safe on our stairs and wash really well.
