Slippers

Mine are slippers, but more like a type of Ugg boot style with a proper sole, so they're definitely not dangerous in any way.

Slippers are one of my favourite things, and I got 2 pairs for christmas.
One pair were Primark, which have been in the wash, and come out the other side none the worse.

The others are sainsbury ones, with arch support.

Both have a proper sole, too.
I had some expensive ones, but they made my feet sweat and itch!

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.

I have a pair (well 3 identical pairs really) of black lacy pumps that cost about a tenner each and have good soles. The first pair I bought were so perfect for indoor/outdoor wear that I returned to the shop and bought a couple of extras in case they get discontinued. They’re lightweight but sturdy enough to hang the washing out or pop to the nearby shop.

I have a pair of percy pig slippers from M&S and they are robust with a thick rubber sole and they can be worn out in garden when i go to bins or washing line etc..I just wipe feet on door mat when i come in- or give a clean with a dettol wipe.But they are robust enough to put on a 20 degree wash (pop in with other stuff) then put upside down on radiator to dry an hour -And as they're grey with a little percy pig face on front they're not 'grannyish' at all.They were a present.About £17 a pr.

I don't know how to do links, but if you go on Amazon and search for Everfoam slippers, they have quite a good range. I always buy men's slippers, as I have feet like flippers and I notice that they always put a thicker sole on the men's ones, presumably so the gentlemen can go out with the bins! Currently wearing the mocassin style, cost around £17 and very warm and comfy, sturdy enough to pop out to the bird feeder.

I have somehow acquired three pairs of slippers. One pair of sheepskin (ish) close toed mules, a pair of grey light ones that are just slipped on and a very sensible pair of old style slippers with Velcro fastener which are the safest.

I saw an item once that said the main cause of accidents in the over 65s was loose rugs that are a trip hazard and badly fitted slippers. I have put the rubber anti slip stuff under the hall rug and must try to remember to do up the Velcro in future.

I have crocs for indoor wear (or, I should say Lidl's version of the product!) and occasionally pop outside in them. I find them comfortable and a good support for ageing joints. The fleece lining makes them cosy, too.

Crocs are worn by staff in hospitals in France and here and by my dental practice staff. That's some kind of endorsement.

I agree foxie, dangerous things. I wonder how many falls are caused by them?

I keep a pair of crocs on back door mat for popping out in garden and I like the Next ballet type of slipper for indoors. They have a soft sole and wash well and inexpensive and last a long time! However I am normally bare feet in the house in summer months as feet get too hot!!

I have had these before and they are so comfy and don’t look grannyish.

I love my Totes slippers but they are not robust enough for the garden. Maybe get some comfy Hotters that you can wear for both the house and the garden.

I have these. They’re not grannyish, my 15 year old granddaughter saw them so she has a pair as well

I use Skechers GoWalk canvas slip on trainers. Robust, good sole and machine washable. Look around and you can usually find them for £30 and they really last!

I hate slippers, I think they can be quite dangerous to people as we age, much better to have a comfortable pair of well fitting light weight shoes. I've got a pair of Hotter shoes that I wear in the house, they are easy to slip on and off and robust enough to go out into the garden.
