Slippers for sweaty, plantar fasciitis feet!

That are nice! Any ideas? My feet are soooo sweaty and stinky, but I have to wear them, and good ones or I get PF pain. I’ve had to shelve my winter ones as they smell so noxious 🤢

Birks for me too.

My winter slippers are Vionics.

Birkenstocks and crocs in the house all summer for me to stop PF. Crocs with socks when no one will see (ultimate comfort) and Birkenstocks the rest of the time or in the heat. EVA Gizeh

Christ alive wash your trotters! As for you it just shelving the slippers as they smell noxious 🤮 how utterly vile. Surely if they smell that bad they've been stinking for a while! This place makes me laugh at times, some change their bedding daily, others can't wash their own feet

Vionics
They have a sale on at the moment. I got 1 pair of slippers, one pair of sandal type slip on shoes and a pair of trainers for 120 pounds! Frikken bargain! I couldn't walk without them. They've helped my feet so much!!

What an unkind thing to say. Not helpful

FrasierCraneDay · 13/08/2022 23:28

Is it though? So many bizarre threads about smelly people, I know times are tough but come on

Archies

momager1 · 14/08/2022 03:49

Birkenstocks for sure!! both my husband and myself have a pair as slippers for the house. He cannot walk on the hard floors without shoes and birks have amazing arch support.

PawPrintsInMyPansies · 14/08/2022 06:18

Birks. I have the Arizona Shearling. And PF! They are so comfortable. Would def recommend them.

Vionic or aetrex slides or flip flops instead of slippers. I wear a pair of rubber slides that are rated for my high arches and plantar fasciitis as my house shoes. They works so much better than slippers because my feet don’t get hot and they can be washed off. If my feet are cold, I can add socks.

@CutesyUserName machine washable is very attractive but reviews seem to say they come up narrow - should have added, just to sound even more attractive, my feet are WIDE 😂

i had never thought of using Birks, that could be the answer - if they come up wide enough

I have very wide feet and high arches and no problem with Birkenstocks. The main thing is to adjust them so they fit snugly with the buckles, no flapping about. That unfortunately does make the feet get a bit hot and sweaty esp in a heatwave but I spray the insoles with anti-bac every now and then.

My podiatrist told me to avoid Skechers Go Walks like the plague, sane reason as crocs, not enough support.

@FrasierCraneDay thanks, I hadn’t thought of that 🙄

Thanks everyone, I’m going to try some Birkenstocks first off and then at least I’ve got some nice new sandals if I’m not keen as summer slippers!

OOFOS, totally alleviated my PF. Now gone, so comfy. I use them as slippers.

They are designed for PF and I would say much better than crocs for PF as very supportive.

OOFOS are excellent, alleviated my PF too 😀 I wouldn't be without them.

Birkenstocks. Bostons.

Fly Flot Clogs for Women - Wider D/E Fit Shoes for Women - Leather Outsoles Outdoors Slippers Women - Slip On Garden Shoes/Womens Slippers - Lightweight Upper Womens Shoes - Low 4cm Wedges for Women amzn.eu/c0FjUhl

These are good, with a leather insole (machine washable, unofficially).

Flip flops from vionic- all their shoes are designed with PF in mind. Much cooler than slippers.
