Then they need to learn some social skills. You can start with "Thou shalt laugh at anyone with a double digit age wearing crocs of any form.*"
I'm double-digit age, I wear a pair of Aldi/Lidl Croc knock-offs, and if I had kids, and they started laughing, I'd bitch-slap the little gits with them.
I wear mine in the summer, perfect around the house, and if I go outside. During the winter, I wear an old pair of Merrel Winter Mocs, which the soles have worn smooth on. Dead comfy, and snug and warm.
No such thing as a manly slipper
Get some that are comfortable
I resisted for 40 years, but I finally gave in
Got some from Clarks

Good lord.
They look like something Noel Coward might have worn 🙂
Hardly Manly are they.
Honestly - I think M&S [s]trumps [/s] holds in place all the bollocks on here
Pants. You are right.

just had to have another look
AWESOME
The campers look perfect! Can only find them in size 7s though - I may have been looking at wimmins...
'Nice' pair of Clark's spotted...
Was Joel Veitch (rathergood.com) involved in the making of that gif, CFH?
Nordikas here and very comfy they are too. I rather like the Draper slippers - they'd go well with a dressing gown whilst smoking a cigarette in a cigarette holder. What brandy for such attire?

🙂
Camper ones are great but I have had to chuck mine now, lasted a few years though. Uniqlo do a similar but cheaper alternative that are still going strong.

Posh, manly, shaped like a pink mouse. Pick 2. 🙂

A snip at £1100
Ok when I said posh I meant not Tesco specials, you've gone too far now lobbydosser.
Anyway, ordered a pair of Clarke's. That's right, Clarke's slippers - shoot me.

NF Tent mules
Are made of man-made fabric which very quickly stinks ime.
i don't like agreeing with ernie, but on this he's right. i've got some of the hard tread version - they stink as you get flippin hot in them. stuck em in the washing machine as well (don't), they still stink. Missus hates them, but they're staying.
I have Church's, sadly they no longer do them in the wide fitting in black (Burgandy only which I don't like). My two pairs are approx 20 and 15 years old and much loved 🙂

If all you want are plain, simple black shoes (and that is all I want out of a pair of shoes for work) then they are hard to beat.
My slippers are a 15 year old pair of Merrell sandals minus the heal strap. If it's cold I just wear them with socks.

I have Dr Martin shoes, they are excellent and actually cost less than my slippers 😳

Sui: Try a couple of washes with Halo. May just tame the stink.
footflaps: Socks and sandles, special! 😆

http://mahabis.com/Winningest so far.
I bought some on a discount - could be good but in reality the neoprene cup at the back offers no support and the rubber sole can come away from the slipper if you stub your toe on something. Also the insole lining has come away and they are looking a bit tatty now.
I saw a similar slipper from Ecco which looked much better, and have just noticed these on sale :

Good mine from TKmaxx
Real lambswool – or someones wool anyway
Best things ever when you have no carpets
Starting to wear out and next pair will have backs raher than the backless current ones, as sometimes they fall off walking down stairs.
Yes, I agree, mahabis are a bit steep.
Slightly less expensive, but no less manly.

Woolly Crocs for the win here. Anything else is poncense.
footflaps: Socks and sandles, special!
Much underrated combo!
after a recommendation from a friend i just ordered a Mahabis pair of slippers. ideal for wearing in the kitchen or putting the bins out with the rubber sole but with the soles off for feet on the sofa.

Congratulations
You could've been like me, and had these:

just replaced my mahabis with something decent - those Eccos ones I linked to earlier - down to £65 in the sale.
insoles on the mahabis fell apart, the rubber soles are too easy to kick off, the outers look rough now as they fluffed up. And the neoprene heel retainer is useless as well, offers no support.
My Eccos are similar in that you can wear them with the heel cap flat, or up around your heel.
I did slag the mahabis off earlier in the thread...

I am very lucky my good lady makes moccasins. Currently in British Racing Green antelope hide with black lambswool lining. Very comfortable and a wee bit different.
Just looked at the current price of Mahabis - £60 !
Luckily I got a big discount on mine...

Nothing wrong with a pair of slippers, especially if you've [s]got wood floors everywhere![/s] given up on life.

You are OK with slippers as long as you don't combine that with owning a Skoda...
These sheepskin & tweed ones from M&S have done me well for the last couple of years..

Sorry, Graeme, but that pic looks like a still from the live action film of "Mrs Brady- old lady".
I can tell you're just jealous of (or perhaps even strangely aroused by) my manly unshaven pins
I'll cop to wondering whether that's a chain ring-related injury to your right calf, but otherwise they're spookily similar to my old pins.
Yip, a lasting reminder not to slip your leg through the frame of the road bike when sliding down the road. Queue blood loss and an experience with a swarthy Norwegian male nurse who seemed to relish the chance to talk about the "big flap of skin you've opened up".
