Dear God…

After a few years of trial and error I’ve settled on… Thick slipper socks like heat holders paired with some too-big Aldi Croc-offs. The socks do the job of preventing cold when sat at desk WFHing and the crocs can quickly be slipped on for trips to bin etc.

I tried fur-lined crocs but they were too sweaty to have on all the time. As are most slippers in my case and then they just get smelly.

EDIT: To clarify, I’m 38 and a long way off my pension. At home is a place for being comfortable. Out in public is for giving the slightest of shits of what you look like.

Yeas this^

Mine are knock off ‘weird fish’ or ‘hot Tuna’ branded, I can’t remember exactly (I always get it mixed up)  but they were only about £12…. Best £12 I’ve spent in a long time!

North Face Mules are the ones to get, I’m on my second pair (they last at least 2 years a pair). I can regulary be seen in Sainburys in them, as I often forget I’m wearing them. don’t be fooled by the cheaper RABs, they aren’t even close in terms of warmth, or comfort.

I’m wearing a pair of Croc-offs that I think I bought from one of the high street shoe retailers in town. The only problem is they’re a bit chilly sometimes, so I could do with some liners, or some lined fleecy ones, oh, and my patio gets a bit slippery when wet, being concrete paving slabs with a lot of mess in places from the bird feeders, and the foam structure is very slippery.
During the winter, I sometimes take the boot liners out of my Meindle Canadian boots, being wool felt and having a hard plastic sole they’re quite toasty, especially as I’ve put felt insoles in them.

After a quick search, there’s loads of fluffy fleece liners for Crocs around for about a fiver, so I feel an eBay session coming up.

For the well-heeled, Salomon have just announced these…

Just a slight upgrade to the original Merrell Winter Mocs

Doesn’t everyone just have house shoes/trainers retired from frontline use!?!

Or am I doing this all wrong. Should I have hand crafted buffalo hide fur lined things, some kind of designer camping slipper from a consumer outdoor brand or shudder the Crocs of despair.

Heat Holders slipper socks are way better than slippers.  Why would you want to squeeze your feet into something AT HOME?

Aldi currently has furlined Croc-offs in the aisle of dreams for £5.99. Is there a better value way of ensuring the last of your dignity and self-respect seep out while keeping your tootsies toastie?
