aka indoor/outdoor slippers, I have come across these - right sort of style and price but not keen on colour. Can anyone find me something similar please?

I wear a pair of crocs for this very purpose, they now come in different styles and there are loads of colours.

ComeOVeneer · 20/02/2008 15:24

These?

TheDullWitch · 20/02/2008 15:27

I m sorry but they are vile. Would, however, have contraceptive properties!

i wear slippers to peg out washing too...

you can chuck them in washing machine

ComeOVeneer · 20/02/2008 15:34

Have to say they aren't my cup of tea either. I wear sluppers, or thick socks inside and put on a pair of shoes to hang out washing/put out rubbish. The whole point imo in not to wear the same thing on your feet inside (I am one of those anal "No shoes in the house" rule kinda person).

scattyspice · 20/02/2008 15:34

Crocs in winter (black ones) and flip flops in summer.Or just shoes.

Feel very middle aged, that I'm magnetically drawn to a thread on slippers.

robin3 · 20/02/2008 16:10

I have similar to these but in natural creamy suede....look like uggs but have a split unlike this pick.

slippers

For indoor and they have rubber bottoms and were also from M&S. We have wooden floorboards to fleece is greatly appreciated.

TheDullWitch · 20/02/2008 16:14

I think flyflots are fab. Try shoe-shop.com
for them & you'll see all the different styles. Not like the ones in the earlier link & I always get compliments on mine www.shoe-shop.com/invt/ss23861wave ...perhaps I should get out more...

Mojomummy · 20/02/2008 18:03

ok,. link didn't work but I'm sure a search on Fly Flot
Wave (FLY613SS) will find them

LIZS · 20/02/2008 18:16

hmm , coming round to Flyflots...

In winter I wear cheap flat fabric pumps, soft enough to be comfy around the house but with a proper sole so they don't get soggy when taking the wheelie bins out etc. Never spend more than £10, usually pick a pair up in the sales for about £5. I try and get them in a dark colour so they match everything and don't look silly with black tights. My current pair are purple satin with sparkly bits (£5 from Peacocks in the sale).

In summer I go for flip flops, usually beaded or sequinned.

They have to be comfy but hopefully a bit glamorous too.
