Wasn't sure whether to post in chat or S&B.
Birthday coming up and I'm desperate for a pair of boot style slippers that will actually last and hold their shape. They would need a hard sole rather than flimsy.
Please can anyone recommend excellent slipper boots?

OP, I suppose the important questions are, can you afford them without borrowing and, if you do buy them, can you still afford to pay for the essentials today, this week, this month, this year? If so, the ones you mention work out at £2.31 a week if they last you a year, and less than that if they last you longer as they probably will. That is less than a takeaway coffee or newspaper a week. Only you can decide. I find leaving non-essential things in the basket for a week helps! There are cheaper Celtic & Co ones too. Mine come just above my ankle as I wear them with the cuff turned up. They are the women's sheepskin bootee slippers and are £82 direct or £79 from John Lewis, minus any discount codes you have.
A tip - after a month of wear, I've just put my hands into my slippers and floofed up the sheepskin inner soles with the ends of my fingers. The slippers almost feel new on again so I will keep on doing this from time to time. To save on p&p I wish I'd ordered a pair of their sheepskin inner soles at the time for a very old pair of much-loved outdoor leather boots I've got and also the wool wash for the slippers.

The soles on Celtic and co are very smooth
