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.
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
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.
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
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.
Check me out, I’ve got orange inners in mine I’m so rad (-;
A whopping 16 quid from next.co.uk
And this may come as a surprise to the makers of Mahabis, but I can walk outside to put the bins out in them too :-0
