I need indesctructible men's slippers! Mahabis worth it?

DH wear slippers all the livelong day, working from home. I have previously got Goodyear ones (Goodyear and Dunlop both make slippers, who knew?) that have lasted pretty well but they all eventually start flapping around after about 9 months with the sole coming off.

They can't be too hot and sweaty either so not fur-lined.

I was thinking of treating him to Mahabis but I can't quite bring myself to pay £90+ for a pair of SLIPPERS. And I don't know if they even last that long - do they?

For that price I could buy 3 pairs of Goodyears... He's not a trendy type either so doesn't really matter what they look like.

Have a look at Homeys - they're about £40 and last several winters in our house.

Haflingers are really good, my FIL put them through their paces and admitted that they are worth the money.

Interested in this thread?

Thanks all - should have said, they need a back to them so not mules or slide-on type!

I bought Mahabis three times from when they started making them until maybe 4 years ago, replacing them every 18 months I think, by which time they would have holes at the toe ends. But I always have worked from home, and move around a lot doing so, so they got loads of use.

When the price really went up (they were once about £60, and with discount codes that they would email when you were on the mailing list - 25%, 15% - that felt okay) I stopped buying them, but I haven't found anything I like quite so much since. So I do think worth it.

Sorry, mules are the ones I want, but most of the places linked in my previous post sell a variety of slippers, including those with backs and also in a mens range.
