Slippers on holiday

[PerkyOchrePeer]

Im going on holiday and am not sure whether to pack slippers. I am taking flip flops, so I could use them as slippers so it's one less item to pack.

That’s really saying something!
Waiting patiently for this poster to return and explain the UTI connection to tiled foreign floors. Is it only in summer? What about Lino or other hard floors? What about UK tiled floors in winter? I need to know!

The only place I don't take slippers to is my parents house, because I keep a pair there!

Seems to be a thing.

Im always in a pair of slippers and have never had a UTI so I feel justified in my slobbishness!

I knew I was getting old when I went away with my uni mates for the weekend and we all had different orthotic sliders

I always take slippers as I don't wear flip-flops/sliders under any circumstances.

Ok

Wow. Well I beg her pardon!

Depends where you’re going, i would not take them to a warm place, but I do staying with my mum

Yes slippers over flip-flops any day. More comfortable. I don't understand why you not pack them

Don't even wear flip flops. Ghastly looking things.

I’m fascinated by this thread. I wear flip flops or sandals round the pool and hotel when I’m on holiday but it’s never occurred to me to wear anything on my feet in my room, any more than I would wear anything on my feet at home, except for the very coldest weather, when I might dig out a pair of socks.

I have plantar fasciitis so usually bring Birkenstock clogs as I need a supportive sole.

Slippers are awful and I don’t have them at home. I certainly wouldn’t take them on holiday.

I prefer not to wear outdoor shoes indoors, though I am not strict about it at all. At home I wear socks, or just bare feet if it is summer. On holiday I would do the same.

I have to wear something on my feet all the time or my plantar fasciitis plays up. So I'm always in slippers or flip flops if I'm not in proper shoes at home or not. So it depends on the temperature of the destination.

100%

I have very comfortable, supportive and easy to clean pair (Peter Legwood Dolphins), so while they takes some space (but not much weight), it's absolutely worth it.
I wear them in the room, to the hotel breakfast, common areas, and I can use them poolside as well.

Same!

I’m off on a cruise and trying various Birkie style clogs to wear about the ship and in my cabin. I obviously wouldn’t wear slippers in public areas but want a similar level of comfort.
Always take slippers if self-catering too.

I do this too. When I go to the spa, I take home the slippers then use them on holiday and leave them there. They are so light so don't add weight to luggage.

I take cheap, washable slippers on holiday. I don't like to have my bare feet on hotel floors or holiday villa floors. Yuk. So I take a cheap pair that I can either bin there, or take home and wash.

Never take my slippers on holiday, crocs all the way! Xx

Of course you should pack slippers. DH goes one step further and takes his special “holiday” dressing gown with him. It’s made of thin cotton and folds up nice and small.

I take a dressing gown too! Perfect for loafing around in!

I’m fascinated that someone feels the need to ask the internet whether or not to take their slippers with them 😭

I'm currently wearing slippers that you can heat up in the microwave - so toasty!
