Hi all,

I normally wear Fitflops round the house but its obviously getting cold now.

Do you have a special pair of house shoes or do you wear slippers?

I wear ballerina style slippers. I hate slip ons that flip flop about.

What's a house shoe? I've not heard that term before.

I have shoe slippers. Skechers ones, sometimes I wear them for work inside the building. Nobody notices if my trousers are long and cover the furry cuffs 😀

teaandcake32 · 18/10/2023 12:17

These are probably what I'm after!

I have something that’s in between a house shoe and slipper - Haflinger Torben clogs. I discovered them in lockdown when I needed more supportive slippers.

These are probably what I'm looking for, thank you!

I've never heard of house shoes, seems like a bit of an oxymoron to me 😅

I wear this type of slipper all day, every day from September to June every year: https://www.next.co.uk/style/ST335336/D18008?dp=a&dndl=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0sS1urz_gQMVk-7tCh0KTQU7EAQYBiABEgKzO_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#D18008

They look cosy but not very good to keep clean.

I have some boots like Uggs (I think they are Matalan) that I only wear in the house. So much thicker soles than slippers and they are so warm

KStockHERO · 18/10/2023 12:28

@teaandcake32 They're fine to just stick in the washing machine every week or so Smile

I have these as well - keep my feet warm and supported and can also nip out to the bins/ down to the cellar in them if I need.

I love my Ugg slippers (the brown sheepskins with fur trim), but have heard that Next do a fab version at a fraction of the price.

I just wear whatever shoes I've put on that day. Put them on in the morning, take off at bedtime.

Ilovecashews · 18/10/2023 16:21

I use normal trainers that do not go outside of the house. I’m sick of dragging my feet in slippers/shoes that do not fit well.

What fresh hell is this?

iPreferBooks · 18/10/2023 16:45

Just socks or thick socks. If I need to go outside then I'll wear my crocs

CinnamonJellyBeans · 18/10/2023 16:47

House of Bruar do a lot of sheepskin slippers with rubber soles, mules and ones like the Andreassen slippers upthread, but much cheaper. The quality is good.

Pleaseme · 18/10/2023 16:49

Sheepskin slippers boots. They have a hard sole so are fine for nipping out to do the bins etc

RosesAndHellebores · 18/10/2023 16:55

I wear Josef Seibel's Betsy Clog downstairs on the hard floors. Can pop out to the bons, get in the washing. I really dislike slippery, slippers with fur and fluff. Also like a bit more arch support.

McIntire · 18/10/2023 16:56

I wear these.
I love the Ugg slippers but my feet are always hot!

Citygirlrurallife · 18/10/2023 17:07

I wear think socks or toms that are fluffy inside

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 18/10/2023 17:10

Birkenstock Boston shearling lined clogs here - I love them.
