Decent slippers!

Can anyone recommend a good pair of slippers that won't break the bank? I'm a SAHM so wear them a lot. We have hard floors in the living area as well, so really want a proper sole that will take a dash to put the bins out etc.
Every pair I have only lasts a few months before splitting or wearing out. I've looked at mahabis but am loathe to spend so much on a pair of slippers! Are they really worth it? Do they last that much longer to warrant the price?
I'm not that bothered on style but really prefer a back on my slippers, I tend to fall out of backless ones and they keep my feet warmer!

I have a great pair of Clark’s suede mules. I’m a SAHM with hard floors and they’ve lasted for years. I’ll see if they do a similar pair. Hang on.

What size are you? I've discovered kids m&s slippers are brilliant and go up to a 5!

Sorry I can’t see anything similar. I bought my mum a totes pair from Debenhams for Christmas. I thought they looked solid but they already feel paper thin. Wouldn’t recommend.

I wear Crocs as slippers, with the backs down. Would that suit you?

I used to wear Birkenstock’s around the house, completely covered over toes. They were pretty indestructible and you can get them with backs on.
I only got rid of them as they were felt and we had a sickness bug...

I am on my second pair of Haflinger clogs. I wear them daily and love them. They last about 3 years of serious inside and outside use

Well worth the price imho

I have a pair of fleecy boots from Next that I wear as slippers. They look like Uggs but much cheaper! Very cosy and fine for going out to do the bins etc.

I’ve got a pair similar to these. I’ve had mine about fours years and they’re still great. The soles are thick enough that you can go outside in them.

Lands End- I too was fed up with cheapy foamy ones lasting a couple of months and at Christmas treated me and DD to a pair of these each. £25 iirc. Fantastic, warm, comfy, solid soles. Literally cannot wait to put them on every day.

I got MIL a pair of Moshulu slippers at Christmas. Solid sole, she really likes them. We’re roughly £30

I wear Celtic sheepskin slippers. The cost is eye watering (!) though I can say that they are the best ones I’ve ever found and last me years at a time, and I wear them every day.

They fluff back up in the washing machine and I think I replace them once every 3 or so years, so all in all, they work out at an ok cost.

Moshulu here too. They last ages.
Or the Kirkland ones in Costco if you want something very warm

Maybe a bit pricey but these Uggs are so comfortable, brilliant for hours standing on tiled floors! I’ve had mine 10 years and only now are they needing replaced.

I use Primark Ugg-look-alikes. They are meant for outdoors but I keep the soles clean for indoors (combination of tiled and wood floors). I've had mine 3 years now and they are barely worn looking. I go out in them just to nip to the car, over gravel, or hang the washing out when its dry. I think they cost £8.

I have some off amazon called gumbies. £35, hard sole and supportive. Only had them two weeks, was a splash out but better than any I’ve had before!

FickleTickle · 01/03/2020 22:27

I have Gumbies and they are wonderfully comfy and hard wearing. I've had them three years and live in them, they don't smell and still look as good as the day i bought them. They replaced North face tent mules which were comfy but not as hard wearing.
