I've always been a "just socks" indoor kind of person, but recently I've come in a few times and left my outdoor shoes on.

Clearly this is unacceptable but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the concept of slippers.

So... barefoot, socks, slippers or shoes? What do you wear around the house?

(And let's not let this descend into a flame war between the sockists and the shoeists)

Sandals?

All of the above. In winter I'll just wear shoes, rest of the time it's mostly socks or bare feet/flipflops (weather dependant) but I do quite like my slippers but the dog has usually hidden one of them.

Slippers. Nothing better. Get some furry lined ones for best effect

Sliders and socks is well on trend nowadays.

Don't call them sandals though, the kids don't like that apparently!!

Haflinger felt clogs.
Got a proper sole cork and rubber so I have the opposite dilemma.
Occasionally find myself in the supermarket with them on.

Harris Tweed slippers, barefoot if sitting around

In winter I'll just wear shoes

Why would you want to keep shoes on in the house?

Sandals? But I'd need socks too then?

Puffa jackets for feet, interesting. Do they come in gold?

one of the biggest things I had to adjust to when moving to Scandinavia was the religious taking off of shoes when you come in. it is like the most offensive thing you can do is keep your shoes on. Dinner parties, going to the doctors, even at my kids' daycare. It also means I can't wear odd socks anymore

alternative is these badboys, which are kept beside every door in public buildings.

The amount of bloody times I have walked to the car or cycled off with them on now is getting silly

Flip flops 80 % of the time, slippers 20% and only when temperature of old wooden floors dictate that no sweating in slippers will occur..

No, but we have tiles in some areas... I quite like the cold feeling on my feet!

Without a shadow of doubt the best indoor shoes are Haflingers, they have a grippy sole with an insulated base and are made from felt or leather. They are the kinds of hut slippers that you are given in Alpine huts. Not cheap but worth every penny.

Marks and Spencer slippers, firm sole, dark blue - no fluffiness to make your feet hot and they make you look like a man who means business e.g. you like comfort but not overt luxury, you like practical but not technical.

Nothing else is acceptable.

Those North Face things? Oh deary me....

You see, you say that now, but I challenge anyone to spend a winter evening walking around the house with a pair of what are essentially sleeping bags for your feet on, and not end up then asserting they are actually the best item of footwear yet devised by man

So there! 😛

that image makes me so depressed. "I'll be out in a minute dear just changing into my blue slacks and blue slippers" At least with Binners' bags and my Mahabi wearing Drum and Bass dj there is a vague sense of not slipping (SWIDT) slowly but irreversibly towards gods waiting room.

Grippy sole and warm but not fluffy inside. And a bright red sole, which is cool.

i have a pair of them rossburton wife bought them for me one xmas. .... wife hates my crocs....

how ever i hate those things..... the dropped heel makes them a chuff to walk in keep falling down like flip flops.

That said since i covered the floor boards in the hall i rarely need to wear footwear in the house.
