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.

Not everything has to be sexy.

If the slipper-wearer is sexy, then the slipper is sexy.

My husband's slippers are pink, fluffy slipper socks.

This

They're slippers. Just slippers. Who would honestly care, really. If he needs them to be sexy to get it up for you, he's got ishoooos.

And also this

I wouldn't consider them granny in the least. I think traditionally granny slippers need Velcro.

I think you should 100% wear what you want @Candathon and I don't think any slippers are sexy as a feature but surely you know that yours are very very ugly?
😂

Have you retrieved the slipper from his arse yet, because that’s where I’d have propelled it! Some good laughs on this thread. I’ve never spent £59 on a pair of slippers, but comfort over sexy any day.

Do you have a sexy raincoat? Or sexy wellingtons? Or sexy trainers?

Like slippers, none of these items are designed to be sexy. They are designed to fulfil a practical purpose.

What are his slippers like? Are they sexy?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

These are my slippers- and they are the most comfortable thing I have ever worn on my feet so I love them- I doubt they'd be called sexy either mind!

They are the kind of sensible slipper I recommend to my elderly patients after a fall.
I have fake ugg boots as slippers, for indoor and outdoor wear and they, too, are the antithesis of sexy.

Buy him some for Christmas. He’ll smirk and joke and then one day he will put them on….. and then live in them. Few weeks later he’ll be defending them to the hilt and deny ever dissing yours.

Oh FFS, do slippers need to be sexy now? Anyone who thinks that has serious issues and fucked up priorities.

SIXTY QUID for slippers?!

@Sadik I have a pair of those Sheepland ones, and my partner has the ones called Snugs (they look more like hooves). Mine are the only slippers I have had where I occasionally have to take them off in winter as they are too warm. They've lasted several years.

So he has pretty much told you twice you exist to him to make his dick happy.

How does that make you feel?

Does it matter what your dh thinks.
Hes not wearing them

At least they'll protect his feet from your filthy carpet!

Primark do slippers that look like ankle boots, not the huge chunky Ugg types, but a bit daintier. Faux Suede Tassel Boots | Primark. They can be worn round the house as slippers, with pyjamas etc, very comfortable and not so moon-walky as the other sorts.

@SwirlyShirly i have the same slippers as your dh 🤣 so cosy but op dh would die 🤣

I agree with your DH. Those slippers are awful! I would find his comment funny because it is true.

I've just been treated to a pair of Moshulu peanut brittle in blue. They were what I wanted. We drove to Trentham Shopping village because that was the nearest outlet. I wanted something warm, that I could put the bins out in, without a load of stitching that could come undone. Sexy! That never even crossed my mind. I admit, even though I love them, I do faintly hear fairground music everytime I look at them 🤡

And my fella? He bought them for me. He was asking the sales assistant if they did them for men! But I draw the line at matching slippers <shudder>

I agree

There are few things unsexier than having cold feet, both for the owner of the feet and the partner who may encounter them.
