Just seen your slippers photo and sorry to inform you that my mother has those slippers. She is 93. 🫣

No.

Then how do you manage to not have cold feet?

@Crunchymum I love those boots! Are they comfy and waterproof? I'm looking for a replacement for my current walking boots

I am wearing my lovely new, pink Crocs that my dd bought me for my birthday yesterday. I really love them and they are keeping my feet surprisingly warm. I nearly asked for lined ones, but then thought about just wearing them with socks, and then I have the option in summer to wear them barefoot. I hope they don't set off my Plantar Fasciitis as a pp has mentioned. I wear their flip flops and they seem to be ok

Ugg boots. I have a pair which are for indoors only. Going over my ankles keeps my feet much warmer, and I realised years ago that as I wfh my feet deserved as good support indoors as out

Shearling Birkenstocks + pink H&M socks here!

Just socks as I’m at my sisters house , if I was at home I’d be in black furry slippers , ballerina type .

dontforgetme · 04/12/2025 12:40

Bare feet. I can’t stand anything on my feet when I am in the house. I do have some flip flops kept by the back door for when I’m in the kitchen though!

I don’t wear slippers either, I like to be barefoot

Love that combination

Crunchymum · 04/12/2025 12:54

@longtompot

Definitely comfy. I have arthritis and these are perfect for me.

Waterproof as far as I use them but I dont use them as walking boots, more for wet weather days (where I am out for as little time as possible!!).

They also keep my feet warm in the cold!!

Purplecatshopaholic · 04/12/2025 13:03

Birkies and socks. I always preferred bare feet but plantar fasciitis put paid to that, lol!

Gettingbysomehow · 04/12/2025 13:10

I am wearing these £5 shoes from tik tok shop that are superbly comfortable and foot bliss. I don't know what Ill do when they wear out as they no longer sell them.
Im a podiatrist in the NHS and love these work shoes.

I'm 55, these are my festive Uggs.

Only wear them in the month of December then they are packed away until next year.

Not sure what that says about me and my age 🤔

Fairly ancient Moshulo slippers here with thick walking socks. Our downstairs floors are cold and hard and my feet are the chilliest part of me. Mid 60s so I'm well into the age bracket for comfort over style.

Natsku · 04/12/2025 13:45

Currently wearing work safety shoes, which narrow my age down to somewhere between 16 and 60ish

I'm a Crocs gal; year-round; Croc slip ons in summer, and plush-lined pale pink original Crocs now, except lately with the really cold days I put on an old pair of Uggs boots to trudge around the house, so warm and comfy!
I don't give a toss what anyone thinks of my footwear! I go for comfort, indoors and out, thankfully don't go anywhere much where fancy straps and heels are the thing,

blackheartsgirl · 04/12/2025 13:52

Black socks
asics trainers
i wear these to work, I’m a school cleaner

but you’d normally find me in white fluffy crocs at home. Or slipper socks.

im barefoot at home in the summer, can’t stand socks when it’s hot.

change to walking boots or docs if im out and about properly

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 04/12/2025 13:57

I raise you grinch socks I got free with a McDonald’s and my flip flops 😂No it’s not comfortable but I need new slippers!

Black Vans Oldskool, my footwear of choice.

It's my mirror that i think wtaf happened to you😂

NettleTea · 04/12/2025 14:21

black leather Boston clog Birkenstocks with fluffy socks. Its the only thing that keeps my plantar fascilitis in check
