Slippers aaargh

[olivesnutsandcheeseplease]

I need some slippers that give some support, won't fall apart in 6 months and don't look like an old granny's. I get quite cold feet too so normally go for boots, any suggestions please?

I wear josef siebel betsy clogs rather than slippers. They have arch support and proper thick soles as some of my floors are stone. Sublimely comfortable. Or you could try vionics.

Lands End sheepskin are lovely. Warm and support your feet. After years of buying the £4 ones that feel great for about 3 days I got some of these and have now bought everyone I know some!

I love my Draper of Glastonbury slippers. 2 days in with my second pair. Got my first pair 3 years ago. Probably wore my old pair on average 10 hours a day for the 3 years.

I have felt Birkenstock mules, very comfy supportive and warm but they can be worn with a thick sock if you fancy a bit of geek chic

Ugg boots for me - added bonus I can potter out to the garden in them too, and jump in the car to pick DC up. I've had mine for 4-5 years and still going strong. I've added new sheepskin liners when I thought they were too worn, which gave a new lease of heaven.

Furry Birkenstock mules, they were a game changer for me last winter.

I got gorgeous sheepskin slippers for Christmas (British made) for £30, they are really comfortable and have firm soles so I can even pop outside in them, like a previous poster mentioned, the cheap ones are lucky to last more than 6 months

I got some moshulu slippers for Christmas. They are my 2nd pair. Last pair lasted well over a year(I think 2 but can't remember)
I love the hard sole for nipping outside to the bin.
I specifically asked for them for Christmas as the 1st pair lasted so well.

Sheepers! Last forever & are so warm

I got some fitflops suede and sheepskin ones. A memory foam and rubber sole, they give good support, are warm and look like they will last. Fiendishly expensive though.

I love my Landseer sheepskin ones. Bit flat inside now but wearing really well with daily use. Quite flat but I have suspected plantar fasciitis and recently noticed hardly any pain wearing these so must be reasonably supportive. Best of all, they don't smell! They weren't cheap but I did get them when they had a 40 or 50% discount late last year. As others have said, I always paid cheap for slippers and it's definitely worth investing a bit of you can.

UGGs

sorry to hijack but are any of these soft soled? I've got laminate floors and don't want to be tapping around waking up the family when I'm up early for work.

I have Giesswein that I got for Christmas, so I don't know how they last, but they're so lovely! Really warm. They do have a hard sole so no good for your laminate floors asquirrel

Birkenstock mules here too - v good support but also comfy!

I finally persuaded my husband to get some slippers. He was initially horrified but one pair of Birkenstock's later he keeps announcing how warm his feet are and do I want to try them on

Another vote for landend sheepskin. A pair lasts me a full year (and I am sahm so they get a lot of wear) and dh gets two years out of his.

I buy whichever slippers I like and then pop some Birkenstock insole in them.

Birkenstock or Moshulu

I'm on my second pair of Toms slippers. SO comfy and the first pair lasted 2 years

I have these, very warm. There are versions with a full heel at the back too
