Husband called my new slippers 'you've let yourself go' slippers.

[Candathon]

I brought some new slippers recently - nice sheepskin ones from John Lewis which I thought looked nice.

I wore them yesterday evening after a hot bath. My husband looked at them, laughed, and in a semi-joking way said they should be called 'you've let yourself go' slippers.

Could anyone recommend some comfy slippers that look like they could be shoes, and cover the whole foot (so not ballet pumps)?

These are the slippers I was wearing: https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-sheepskin-cropped-slipper-boots-light-grey/p110970563?size=3&s_ppc=2dx92700078342469774_brand_mixed_BAU&tmad=c&tmcampid=2&gclid=CjwKCAjw15eqBhBZEiwAbDomEq9KvjXLORj9mTAJxXNnTZXnnoku3kAj4oSrHkGtNOHWGnWqXz3ZHBoCFdcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Clearly my husband finds them very unsexy.

Would be interested to know people's thoughts on wearing slippers generally.

What is the point of the unislipper ? You can't walk or curl up on the sofa ?

You really need to make more effort OP. Don’t you know that as a woman it is your job to never let yourself go and that when you exit the bath you must wear heels and lingerie and do your hair and make up before daring to walk downstairs. Your poor Husband shouldn’t have to see such sights as you being comfortable.
To wear slippers in one’s own home, I’ve never heard of it.

My mum wears slippers like that, she’s in her 80s, I love comfy slippers and virtually live in them but I’m with your hubby on those I’m afraid.

Of course Shein sell them! @BeingATwatItsABingThing @SpicedAppleAndFreshCider

Not really slippers, but never mind.

Hoe sexy are your DH's slippers, @Candathon? DH has some my dad would have worn, but you know, they are slippers so I don't care.

All I see is this! 😂

I think I would be saying something along the lines of would you prefer to warm my col feet on your bollox? No, well then shut up and put up

I was gonna defend you too, until I saw them. Def granny slippers, sorry!!

Erm, it's winter, there is a COL crisis, energy prices are sky high... He should be applauding your excellent common sense!! I wore Uggs all last winter as slippers, my house is especially frickin freezing though and I work from home.

Billy Connolly on the unislipper (he calls it the big slipper). All your questions will be answered.

From 34 mins to 46-ish. Or just watch the whole thing.

I recently got these they are surprisingly good.

hiwever your husbands slippers are minging, like proper dirty inside, so I really don’t think he’s got place to talk about you letting yourself go when his are minging and he doesn’t wash them, that’s the definition of letting yourself go.

Your husband is rude and you shouldn’t pander to him. If you like the slippers, wear them. You’re not a toy to amuse him.

Wear whatever the hell's comfiest - when did we decide that we have to be sexy in our slippers? I have a pair of flip-flop-looking slippers, but they're not sexy. I bought them because they're comfy, it's my damn house and my toes deserve to be free! Bollocks to anyone who enters my wee abode and challenges my gods-given right to freedom of phalanges.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07B9BG4Z1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But I also own a pair of these very sexy clogs:

If I were in your slippers, I'd be telling my husband that the only thing I'll be "letting go of" is him.

Genuine question to those who hate sleepers and say they’re never acceptable to wear, what do you wear to keep your feet warm and comfortable inside during the autumn and winter? (Sorry if this has been asked already upthread!)

Chunky socks.

I don't mind slippers but just don't feel comfortable in them.

I think I'd just belt him with them and carry on wearing OR give him a list of some incredibly expensive ones he can treat you to

If you liked them until he said that, then you don't need new slippers. What he said was insensitive, inappropriate and rude. Don't let him put you down & change what things you like to wear or do. Is he wearing sexy indoor footwear.. Probably not, so what should you? Everybody deserves to be comfy & cosy in their own home.
Is he often making comments or "jokes" like this at things you wear or do? If so, it's not because there is anytjing wrong with what you chose to do or wear, it's because he is an idiot and shouldn't be putting you down like that. Keep the slippers.

the link to the slippers in the original post look like lovely warm slippers.
OP would your husband prefer it if you work socks? I am not sure what qualifies as "sexy" winter indoor footwear? Genuinely?

Its a bit like someone putting on a pair of wellies to do some gardening and their husband saying "they don't look very sexy"

I cannot believe the number of women saying, yeah I’m with your husband on this one.

We do not exist for our partners’ visual pleasure. You be bought slippers. You liked the slippers. They’re warm and comfortable and fit you, and they’re new. The idea that you’d replace something new, spend more money and use more of the earth’s resources, so that your slippers make you more fuckable…? That’s just incredibly sad.

I’m sure he was only joking and loves and fancies you to bits regardless, but if you’re really worried - ditch the husband not the slippers. If his attraction is solely contingent on how you look, you’ve a steep hill ahead of you fighting gravity and time.

But I’m sure he was only kidding. So enjoy the slippers. I wear Ugg boots as slippers. They’re essentially the same as yours, but taller. My husband asked for a pair of his own when he saw mine. Because the job of a slipper is to arouse comfort, not an erection.

My husband just killed himself laughing at this thread - I’m looking for a pair of slippers (I’m 40F), and his reaction has been ‘get the comfiest, snuggliest ones you can’, not ‘get the sexiest thing out there’. Tell your hubby to get over himself 😂

For me it's fur lined crocs and I couldn't give a shiny shit what I look like tbh. They're lovely and warm and practical too.
People saying these are granny like ... the daughters have been crying out for the ugg version 2 Christmases now...all sold out last year...they are a very fashionable style ! Just shows how everyone differs.

Heating up full blast and toastie.

Does your husband find thigh high boots sexy? These might keep you both happy 😂😂😂😂😂

My husband would call them 'scone shoes'

At least yours match. I have managed to lose the left of one pair amd the right of another, so am currently rocking a totally unflattering (and slightly unbalanced) look, that is the definition of doesn't give a shit, and not in a good way.

The link redirected me to the JL app. During that time, I was trying to imagine the worst-looking slippers possible. These slippers were way worse.
