People think I'm wearing slippers.

Ok, help me out please!
Now the weather is getting nicer I’ve started to wear these shoes with skinny jeans.
Only problem is that at least 3 different people have asked if I’m wearing my slippers.
Popped into work yesterday and a colleague and customer both said “ooohh, you’ve popped in in your slippers” and “nice slippers”
I’m mid/late 30s and I’m my defence the offending shoes are from Fat Face which I thought was semi trendy!
Photo below for reference!

They do look like moccasin slippers

Chocmallows · 13/04/2019 09:32

I bet they're super comfy, but they are a bit like slippers, sorry.

anytimeyouwantto · 13/04/2019 09:33

Oh boo. They’re really comfy.
So I can’t get away with wearing them out then?!

They look comfy but not something to be seen out in Shock

anytimeyouwantto · 13/04/2019 09:34

But they’re leather 😂
With a hard sole!

I'm sorry, but they do look like slippers to me too. 🙈 but may be because my DSM has pink ones like this and my dad has navy ones.

If they were black I'd think they were shoes.

anytimeyouwantto · 13/04/2019 09:35

How about if I get these ones?
Better?

Oh good lord no!

They are slippers, leather sole or not.

PineapplePatty · 13/04/2019 09:37

The lighter ones aren't as slippery but they aren't very nice.

Sorry 😬

anytimeyouwantto · 13/04/2019 09:38

I really struggle with sore feet. I have bunions, flat feet, wide fitting and plantar fasciitis, and these shoes are so comfy 😩

And they’re sold as shoes, not slippers! Look!

Wear them.

IHaveBrilloHair · 13/04/2019 09:40

I quite like them I've a red pair and no one has asked if they're slippers, maybe they were just thinking it?
That second pair you linked to aren't nice though.

FamilyOfAliens · 13/04/2019 09:41

If you like them and they’re comfortable, wear them.

If anyone says you’re wearing your slippers tell them they’re shoes but they’re as comfortable as slippers!

Tinyteatime · 13/04/2019 09:42

I wear these. They’re hideously pricey now for what they are (used to be about 30/40 quid when I 1st bought a pair but they are soooooo comfy and go nicely with skinny jeans.

Are the ones in your first picture very old? I’m sure I had some of those years ago! I get a new pair every year. Great for pottering around town.

ememem84 · 13/04/2019 09:43

They do look a bit like slippers. But I like them. I saw them in catface a while ago and was tempted. Also sob mid thirties

Chocmallows · 13/04/2019 09:45

I like the ones tiny suggested. They have the structure of shoes rather than slippers.

MrsChanandlerBongg · 13/04/2019 09:45

I really like them! I wear these. They aren't to everyone's taste, but I love them 😂 Everyone that sees them thinks they're slippers. My gran couldn't believe her eyes yesterday 🙄

'Your comfortable everyday shoe' Grin i.e slippers

If they were comfy then I'd wear them and not worry about what other people think. But then I do wear slippers out because I've got some that have a Moroccan vibe to them, they're fabric 'sliders' with all the comfort of slippers 🤷‍♀️

OldGrinch · 13/04/2019 09:49

I think they look nice OP, first pair, just wear them and who cares what anyone else thinks x

ShowOfHands · 13/04/2019 09:53

Why the fuck does it matter? "Not to be seen in"? Screw other people's easily offended eyes. They're shoes. You like them.

CoraCoo · 13/04/2019 09:56

I think they look like shoes and I see plenty of people out wearing them as shoes. I thought you were going to post a picture of the ones James Stunt wanders about in, but your ones are fine!

2dogsandPG · 13/04/2019 09:56

I've had these Fat Face shoes for several years, OP, and no-one has ever asked me if I'm wearing slippers! I think you have just been unlucky. I would ignore them and carry on as you were.

As a side note, mine are a bit tatty now. I might treat myself to a new pair Smile
