Slippers

No I don't think you're unusual at all Maw. I know a lot of people who prefer to wear comfortable lightweight shoes indoors rather than slippers.

Me? I'm afraid I just love my slippers! It might be to do with the problems I have with my feet, but I'm always glad to get my shoes off when I come in, even though I always wear wider fitting, comfortable footwear.

I never wear shoes in the house, it's totally alien for me, I'm either barefooted, wear socks, or wear slippers.

I even take my shoes off when I go into other friends/family's houses.

i think it stems from when we were younger and our front door led straight into the living room, mother obviously didn't want carpets ruining, One of my homes was also like this. I guess the habit has stuck with me

I never wear any sort of shoes in the house. I have three pairs of slippers.
I have a pair of bootee type with outdoor soles so that I can go across the gravel to the bin, a pair of slip on miles and a pair I keep for taking away with me if we go to a self catering place.
It would seem wrong to wear shoes indoors, it's the way I was taught as a child.

Until very recently I have worn the last summers flat sandals in the house, however now I like sturdy slippers, warm on the outside and firm soles that don't feel sloppy and in which I can nip outside.

Always wear slippers in the house, warmer ones in winter, freebie Singapore Airline mules in summer.
Aware that when someone comes to the door, must look a real old granny with my slippers and pinny, but hey ho.

I wear slippers until I get dressed, then I've got a whole collection of indoor shoes that have never been outside. When it gets chilly, the indoor boots come out!

I had a pair of very soft, loafer type shoes, that I wore indoors, when my last slippers gave up the ghost.
Then when the loafers wore out, I was wearing a pair of Moshulu sandals indoors, during the summer, when I wasn't barefoot, which I love.
Now I am wearing a pair of comfy ,velvety, M&S slippers, that I have had for ages, but never worn until now.

I wouldn't nip outside in any of them (as it's muddy around here) so I have slip-on gardening mules at the back door and in the porch. It saves an awful lot of dirt coming in.

The dog wipes her feet but the cat doesn't care and can cross two dirt-trapper mats but still leave muddy footprints on all the floors and windowsills!

I always wear these slippers You can tighten them to stay on well. Important especially on the stairs.

Not glam though.

Always wear slippers in the house, in them all day if I'm not going out.
What I'm going to do when these wear out I do not know as M&S seem to have stopped selling my favourite style - slip-on mules with a tiny heel. Will have to have a good trawl around the internet.

I like slip on mules with a firm sole and small heal too. Last pair bought a few weeks ago while on holiday in Devon. They have velvet tops and a warm lining but not sheepskin which I find too hot. Manufactured by 'Lunar' - never heard of them before.During the summer I wear leather backless clogs also bought on holiday.
Cannot wear anything soft soled as I don't feel safe coming down stairs in them. OH likes soft suede loafers indoors.

Not glam though

You can say that again.
The epitome of granny carpet slippers. ???.

I love my sheepskin slippers as they keep my feet toasty. I bought them on amazon and wouldn’t be without them.

Each to their own, I think

I am a granny. I walk on carpet.

They are the slippers that stop my plantar faciitis.

You're only saying that cos I didn't like your coatagin anyway.

I always take shoes off indoors ( and at anyone else's house too) and pop a pair of slippers on.M&S do good flat mule with a supportive sole, and when really cold the knitted boot type are very cosy.

The point is to wear different footwear in the house. If you prefer to wear light shoes instead of slippers, that's fine, so long as you keep them for indoors.
When you consider the things our shoes have to tread in, it's quite disgusting to bring that muck indoors onto your carpets.

We’ll that was rather my point LadyMuck

Well not we’ll

I have large feet so I wear men's tartan pattern slippers from Tesco.

They actually look really good with jeans and I have been known to forget to take them off when popping up to the village shop!

All our floors are wood and our stairs those narrow windy cottage stairs, so walking round in bare feet or socks or any slipper with a smoth slippy sole is a complete no-no, so like threexnanny I wear backless leather clogs because they are safe to walk in on slippery floors but I can slip my feet out of them as soon as I sit down.

Comfy slippers here. I have pairs at both DD's houses. I like my feet to feel warm and cosy.

Barefoot here! (As the soles of my feet prove, never quite sure if I should just have a pedicure at the local salon, go to a chiropodist, or get the farrier in with his hoof trimming knife )

The first thing I door when arriving home is take my shoes off. Not for the sake of the carpets, I just don't like my feet enclosed.
My indoor footwear in summer are a pair of Berkenstock style sandals but the minute I sit down they are kicked off. In winter I wear mule style slippers with outdoor soles. They get kicked off too.
Indoor boots are my idea of hell.
