Which slippers do you wear in the office?

I suppose it's best to go for black? I saw a nice pair of closed Birkenstocks but they're white with a pattern on....I guess they won't go with anything! Crocs seem a bit clunky for the office, although some of my colleagues do wear them. Are the Birkenstock clogs less so? Not sure what to look for tbh, shoes always look large on me as I have big feet. I usually wear dark jeans or dark linen trousers.

I wear my shoes, because I'm a grown up.

Why do you wear slippers at work?

TaborlinTheGreat · 07/08/2025 17:41

Slippers in the office? Really?

Imicola · 07/08/2025 17:42

I wear shoes if I'm in the office. I think my colleagues would think I was weird if I wore slippers.

Kangarude · 07/08/2025 17:42

Slippers? What kind of office do you work in where people go in their slippers?

LoverOfTerriers · 07/08/2025 17:42

What are those fancy slippers that you can change the soles on for outdoors? If you’re going to wear slippers at works, they’d be the ones.

Slippers? I don’t have special “office” shoes I just wear the ones that go with my outfit.

I wear fluffy bunny ones. Nobody takes you seriously in the legal profession otherwise.

InMyHealthyEra · 07/08/2025 17:44

I wear normal shoes because I’m an adult in the workplace. Do you also wear a dressing gown to work?

EssentiallyDecluttering · 07/08/2025 17:44

I wear Birkenstock Boston clogs most of the time but they aren't slippers as I wear them outside the house. Mine are stone coloured and go with most things, I've switched to them from white trainers. We are very casual.

OP- are you in Japan or somewhere that slippers are the norm for indoors, even in an office???

SoScarletItWas · 07/08/2025 17:45

If this is a typo for ‘slip ons’, I don’t want to be right 🤣🤣

TeeBee · 07/08/2025 17:45

Slippers at work…where you work alongside other other people or a home office?? I wouldn’t wear any slippers in a general workplace, like I wouldn’t wear my pyjamas.

Oh you’re probably right. Never thought of the at!

SoScarletItWas · 07/08/2025 17:48

@LoverOfTerriers I much prefer the original

JDM625 · 07/08/2025 17:51

These are mine 😂

I’m looking at the OPs user name and assuming this is a joke thread.

StarCourt · 07/08/2025 18:33

My glass ones, obviously

ToetallyHeelarious · 07/08/2025 19:47

People don't go to work in their slippers. They go to work in normal shoes and then change in the office. At the moment it's not really an issue, (although I'm a bit concerned my trainers will start to smell if I wear them all day when it's so hot) but in winter when most people will be wearing snow boots to commute, it's normal to have a pair of slippers to change into.

SaulHudsonDavidJones · 07/08/2025 19:48

It’s not normal. It’s really not normal.

Mewling · 07/08/2025 19:49

You change into slippers when you get to work? What role are you in? I cannot think of a single place I’ve worked where that wouldn’t cause a raised eyebrow.

CRbear · 07/08/2025 19:50

this was normal in Norway when I worked there… I think you need to provide the context

beetr00 · 07/08/2025 19:54

are you Czech mate? 🙊

NewNameNewMeNow · 07/08/2025 19:58

I really wish this was a thing where I work. I would be so much happier in comfy slippers.
