I know, I know...! The shame!
The context, I WFH in a draughty old farmhouse and the house is normally empty apart from me at my desk during the day. So, would like something warm, durable enough to step outside for a slash/to shoot rabbits, and at least relatively tasteful. Not Uggs.
I am, of course, expecting the predictable responses, but hoping for a gem of a recommendation among them.
Act as decoys too.
Camper Wabi
Sorel Falcon Ridge tick all your boxes.
Teva Ember Moc
Fleece lined crocs. Perfect indoor outdoor slippers. Not TOO hot either
kind of like indoor Uggs but still the most warm I've ever had
Mokkers! Canny beat a moccasin slipper, the mark of a man about town.
North Face tent mules do it for me.
Drapers of Glastonbury. Wellies for your outside tasks.
Emu Australia.
Wonderfully snug sheepskin slippers. Great quality, had my current pair for about 5years, genuinely look forward to putting them on every day, they are so cozy.
They are a standard present for friends and family.
There are a few styles to choose from.
They are a little but spendy but worth it for the amount of time you will wear them. It is usually possible to find them reduced somewhere online.

Ortovox Monialm. I love mine, wife loves hers.
On my third pair of these, over 15 odd years. Even get away with odd trip to the pub
These were recommended a few years ago and are really good
Can't vouch for rabbit shooting but I stamp on the faces of baby robins with mine and the gore rinses right off. Magic
Surely Gucci Princetowns are at the top of your list. Surprised you even asked 😄
However I lurve my Dude fartys. The right blend of indoor/outdoor.

And I can't believe I'm actually responding to a request for a recommendation for a pair of slippers!
I prefer something like these mocs, comfy around the house, fine to wear outside, and I don’t look a tit if I forget and wear them to the shops.
I've searched and searched and searched.
I can't find that bloody picture of the shoes in first class 🙁
Lined crocs ftw.
Bedroom athletics tweed/ sheepskin slip ons. Last me about 4 yrs per pair and don’t ever smell as they’re all natural stuff. Live in a draughty old house with rough wooden floors. Wouldn’t be without them.
Not cheap but they last. No need to wash!
I bu6 them on sale

Agree with Mary, I wouldn't be without my Guggi Leather Princetowns. That baby kangaroo fur is just so lovely.
Just wear those old things you wore in First Class, obviously you found them comfortable but at least this way they are confined to your office and not exposed to the unfortunate public.
Or Birkenstocks.
You need Dr Feet, doc doc doc doc doctor feet............I love 'em
But, ah, I don't live in a draughty farmhouse. Maybe with a pair of BIG socks they'd be ok...
Socks. Crocs.
Birks n Sox
Nordicas all day long. My driving slippers, my garden shoes, my everything.
Birks n sox you say?
Just go with fleece lined crocs and be damned. Comfy, practical, easy to clean. Look a douche. I wear them well.
Another vote for Gucci Princetowns, nothing else comes close.
I'm currently rocking a pair of Fur Herringbone Slippers With Wolf Head with cropped jeans and a white T. Simply delicious.
Am I the only one wondering why the OP has to go outside for a slash? Is the old farmhouse so old it has an outside toilet?

It's so he can assert his dominance over the serfs who live on his estates. He pishes on them.
That's why they're known as peons.
I don’t do slippers. If I did it would be a pair of Mahibis. I only know one person who has forked out the astronomical price - but this is something you are going to wear every day so not ridiculous.
Bedroom Athletics slipper boots, almost too warm.
I was bought some fleecy Crocs. The're sweaty.
I can highly recommend the Camper wool slippers I had before them though.
If you ware slippers outside what's the point just ware normal shoes. You are still wearing shoes outside and inside
No shoes inside house for us and crocks copies by every door for popping outside. Thick socks over normal socks if cold inside, will still fit inside crocks.
@Countzero, who has said that you don't look like a tit wearing those to the shops?
Those things are usually worn by the dodgy looking guy in the market who sells broken biscuits and out of date dog food. 😉
Surely for sir, Crockett and Jones?
+1 for lady gresley's query about going outside for a slash.
And +1 for atlaz ^^^ with the Crockett & Jones. Trickers do very similar - velvet, red cushioned lining, leather sole & heel.
Agreed - why would you want to wear slippers outside and inside house??
my wife certainly wouldn’t appreciate that!
Haflinger Grizzly range. Felt uppers cork/rubber soles.
Who gets wear wrong, but wearing right?
Older Camper Wabis had a back, they don't any longer! I hate warm slippers, my feet are rarely cold so perhaps a pair of flip-flops of quality (decent Reef ones for example) and a dose of MTFU for not getting cold in the draught?
+1 for the Swedish.
I've got an older version of these.

A cross between Uggs and those slippers that your granny used to wear, which I like.
