Why are slippers sexist

I would like slippers that are:

  1. not furry/ fluffy, so I can wear them in warmer weather
  2. have proper soles (for taking the bins out and padding around on my uncarpeted floors etc)
  3. are plain-ish and not something my grandma would wear (sorry Nan)

I am a woman in my late 30s and a UK size 4 (37) and all I can find that fits the bill are men’s slippers?

Something not unlike this would be great (but never seem to come in women’s sizes??):

Moshulu! My Dad got me a pair for Christmas a few years ago and they’re still going strong (and I’ve acquired three more pairs since!)

Firm sole, hundreds of different styles, good quality and the comfiest things you will ever have on your feet.

Crocs slippers

Another vote for Nordika - good strong soles, choice of leather or suede. Last ages and very comfortable
