What do you wear on your feet, around the house, in summer.

I've never realised it before but maybe I have some sensory issues Grin I really hate bare feet, I'm not over keen on sandals and really can't wear anything with a toe post.

In winter, I wear lovely sheepskin booties, then I have lighter weight ballet pump style slippers, but they're still "cosy" and too warm for days like today. What do you wear if flip flops are out of the question?

I always used to wear canvas pumps in summer. Switched to flip flops now but not an option for you!

kerkyra · 19/05/2020 18:22

I've just bought a pair of crocs and wearing them inside and out and even for work (i'm a cleaner). In the evening if my feet get cold,i just put some socks on and pop the crocs back on!

Sheepskin slippers. My feet are always freezing even in summer and socks slip on the slidey floor.

Raera · 19/05/2020 18:29

Not sexy or stylish but I've worn these for years in the house and garden
I hate toe posts too

We have hard floors and I can't bear having bare feet on them. I wear sheepskin mules unless it's really hot, today I'm wearing a pair of flip flops that are my summer garden shoes. I think a pair of plastic/rubber pool slides would be a good alternative.

loutypips · 19/05/2020 18:35

I'm the opposite. I'm bare footed at every opportunity!
If I had to wear a slipper I'd probably go for crocs. Comfort over style I'm afraid!

Socks.

Crocs

ElspethFlashman · 19/05/2020 18:40

I tend to wear old Birkenstocks as slippers in the summer. I usually prefer socks, but I wear them barefoot probably half the time. They're cooler than sheepskin slippers and lovely and smooth inside. And I don't worry about stepping on Lego.

ShellsandSand · 19/05/2020 18:40

Birkenstocks. I hate having bare feet on the floor too.

endofthelinefinally · 19/05/2020 18:41

Crocs. Not the big ugly ones, just the simple flip flop type. Like walking on air and they last for years.

Candlesonthetable · 19/05/2020 18:42

Ballet shoes (I get them from a dance shop). I find they aren't as hot as slippers. I don't like wearing anything open at the front as in the past I have caught the front of mule type slippers on the stairs.

Thismummyruns · 19/05/2020 18:42

I have house flip flops that I wear all year round 🙈
What about those slider shoes? No toe post with them

applespearsbears · 19/05/2020 18:44

Croc slidders so comfy

jimmyjab · 19/05/2020 18:45

Slides here too. They're comfy and cheap!

peanutsandcream · 19/05/2020 18:45

Birkenstocks or cosy socks. Hate slippers and bare feet.

Divoc2020 · 19/05/2020 18:45

Crocs - but has anyone found that the plastic is harder these days?
I had to replace my old ones and they're not nearly as comfy Sad

Olive87 · 19/05/2020 18:54

Fluffy sliders!

HildaSnibbs · 19/05/2020 19:03

I hate bare feet too - I have a pair of sandals I wear as "summer slippers" round the house, in fact I'm looking for a new pair, Seasalt have some nice thin soled leather sandals (no toe post) which I'm thinking of ordering...

Tulipstulips · 19/05/2020 19:07

I go bare if it’s hot. Love it.

bogoblin · 19/05/2020 19:07

Sliders! My specific indoor sliders that I just treat as slippers. Bought a double strap pair this year

poppym12 · 19/05/2020 19:17

Birkenstocks, the Eva ones.
