Slippers - with socks or without.

3/5 say without.
2/5 say with.

We are obviously having a reet good time in our house Grin

I'm sorry, microwavable slippers?!

As in people are putting their worn footwear in the microwave?

Hawkins001 · 25/12/2020 21:22

Always slippers with socks to add the extra warmth,

grassisjeweled · 25/12/2020 21:23

With of course

redcandlelight · 25/12/2020 21:24

with socks of course.
I always have cold feet.
unless it's really really warm I always wear socks.

WhatTiggersDoBest · 25/12/2020 21:25

Without, but only because slippers always come in "size 5-6" or "size 7-8" and I'm a 6.5, 7-8 falls off, so I buy 5-6, but if I put socks on, my feet won't go in my slippers.

FedUpAtHomeTroels · 25/12/2020 21:26

@DoThePropeller

Depends how cold it is!
Yes this.
Sway19 · 25/12/2020 21:26

With! I have no idea how anyone could consider without

PatsyStone39 · 25/12/2020 21:28

Without. Socks are the devil and I never wear them. I wore my slippers with tights today and i felt like an English man holidaying in the Costa Brava. Never again!

Twobrews · 25/12/2020 21:32

Without, I wear ugg boots as slippers. I always get a garish colour so I don't get tempted to leave the house in them. They'd be too hot with socks.

NaughtipussMaximus · 25/12/2020 21:32

With, because I kick my slippers off when I’m curled on the sofa. I couldn’t be having with taking my socks on and off all day every time I got up or sit down.

NannyGythaOgg · 25/12/2020 21:33

I wear socks instead of slippers

Purplethrow · 25/12/2020 21:34

Without, mine are sheepskin and definitely don’t smell.

WeeDangerousSpike · 25/12/2020 21:41

Also a slipper dodger. The only reason I wear them is, very rarely, when my feet are cold. So always with socks, for maximum warmth.
Agree that no socks makes them feel yuk after a bit, and that's with feet that hardly sweat at all.
Definitely with socks if they're microwaveable. And if they're wheat bag type affairs surely they can't be washed at all, so even more reason to use socks?

ancientgran · 25/12/2020 21:48

Either. I throw my slippers in with the washing most weeks so it is fine.

Tigerstripe20 · 25/12/2020 21:50

Sheepskin slipper wearer here they don’t smell so usually without unless it’s really cold
Sliders without socks in the summer
Only one of our downstairs rooms is not hard floors so couldn’t bear to go with socks only
DH wears sliders and socks in doors

BigSandyBalls2015 · 25/12/2020 21:52

Two pairs, one with, one without. The ones without stink 😷

CokeAndPepsi · 25/12/2020 22:00

With. Otherwise they will stink, plus just a lot more cozy! I’m American and for me it’s like using a top sheet on my bed. It simply feels cozier than just the duvet and cover.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 25/12/2020 22:21

Microwaveable?
Gosh how things have changed, I'm using the 'Boil-in-the-Bag' type - and I thought THEY were modern. Confused

Chloemol · 25/12/2020 22:27

Either

Honeyroar · 25/12/2020 22:33

Both! I wear slippers around the house generally with socks (mainly because I mostly wear walking boots and wellies so don’t want them inside the house) but if I was just using slippers to go from the bedroom to the bathroom or to nip down and make a coffee I’d not wear socks. I have an upstairs pair and a downstairs pair!

cushioncovers · 25/12/2020 22:36

Either

MrsKoala · 25/12/2020 22:38

I wear sliders (hate that word) mainly or if it’s really cold some sheepskin ones. Alway without socks - I actually like having slightly cold feet, I find it regulates my body temp otherwise I feel sick.

I rarely wear socks and (this will probably cause half of mn to vomit) usually wear the same pair for about 3 days, bu that’s because I wear them for such a short time. So put them on for 20 min school run on Monday. Then again 20 mins Tuesday etc.

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/12/2020 22:39

With as hate cold feet

Saying that I’m out of t her shower and
