They need to be warm, warm, warm and preferably ankle height, like bootees. Not Ugg style as I want to curl up indoors with them on.

mermaidbutmytailfelloff · 08/11/2013 20:57

I have these. www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/ayacucho-womens-supersoft-fleece-sock-with-dots-4c110075?id_colour=163

Toasty warm and snugly, i put off going out because I can't bear to take them off.

I'm a slipper supremo. I pay the kids a pounds to go up two flights of stairs if I left them in my bedroom when we get in.

Those boden ones will be synthetic and make your feet sweaty.

Sheepskin is the ONLY slipper.
Try this website I have the bootees which turn up to low ankle. Lots of colours and always a voucher to be had for their site.

I also live in their long sleeve cotton nightie.

Celtic sheepskin have the best slippers in the world. They do a bootee style. You will never leave the house again :o

aliasjoey · 08/11/2013 21:04

Although those sheepskin ones do look nice...

butterfliesinmytummy · 08/11/2013 21:07

Thick felt ones made by a lady in Latvia on etsy. They have a non slip sole that is a super thin layer of rubber, are breathable, natural, cosy and gorgeous. Her shop is called DMpics, sorry can't link but the whole family is wearing them!

AllabouttheE · 08/11/2013 21:08

QueenB our feet are ensconced in the same slippers Grin

QueenBoudicea · 08/11/2013 21:11

I bloody love them - it's like having your feet soothed by warm fluffy cloud. I actually think 'ooh lovely' when I put them on :o

AllabouttheE · 08/11/2013 21:14

Mine go everywhere with me, friends, mums, car journeys. If only I was brave enough for a pair at my desk.

QueenBoudicea · 08/11/2013 21:19

Me too! I have a pair of their sheepskin boots too and have to check what I'm wearing before I leave the house.

Boden velvet slippers with bows. Was very lucky to receive these as a christmas present last year and they are as good as new nearly a year on. Worth every penny, the soles are leather and have worn well on our stone and wooden floors so if you have carpet they will last years. Just had a sniff and although they aren't real sheepskin they are good high quality fake and don't smell!! Go for it you won't be dissapointe.

MetellaestinHauntedBroomstick · 08/11/2013 21:43

I like these by moshulu because they have a decent sole so I can pop outside to the bin etc...

slight hijack hope OP doesnt mind but any recommendations for those of us on a more modest slipper budget of say £15 pounds?

usually get very cheap ones from primark but am fed up of them dying on me.

minipie · 08/11/2013 21:57

Sheepskin yes but I prefer Shepherd to Celtic

AllabouttheE · 08/11/2013 22:37

I've had both shepherd and Celtic. Prefer sole on Celtic as it's lighter. Plus much funkier style and colours and last longer. I'm a sheepskin nut.

AllBuggiedOut · 08/11/2013 22:58

The Danes know what they're doing. Scroll to the bottom for ankle height ones.

lurkingaround · 08/11/2013 23:14

These are what I have. Once I'm home, they're on my feet. I've been wearing them for years. I try cheaper slippers but nah, no good. It does help that I can get them posted cheaply/free to Europe via BIL, they do need to be replaced regularly enough. But even with added postage they are fab fab fab. Possibly my favourite item of clothing.
