What do you wear on your feet around the house?

My flip flops just died, so thinking of slippers but last time I had some they got a bit to warm in the summer.

So what do the you wear to keep the bottom of your feet warm and good all year round?

I always have been a barefoot person, but tiled floors are cold in the winter so I have some proper grandad style slippers for the colder months, but as soon as I'm in the lounge where the carpet is, I kick them off.

Not flip flops - nasty noisy slappy things, and too easy to trip over on the stairs. Slippers or nowt. (Or shoes if the missus isn't looking.)

Nowt, crocs or slippers, sometimes with socks sometimes without. Depends on temperature and inclination.

sheepskin slippers with a proper back to them. Warm in winter, not too sweaty in summer, and because they're not loose at the back, I don't die coming down the stairs.

edit:

I don't die coming down the stairs.

well, unless the OH catches me fapping away at the top of them, obviously 😉

Totes, or an old pair of running Asics with no laces.
If I'm ever in Primark I usually but a pair of those £2.50 lace-up plims though. They last ages if only worn indoors.

I thought crocs urgh too

Offshore crocs are one of the few things your allowed to wear in accomodation block that are easy to get on and off..

Fund them quite comfy

Still dont venture out in them.

Fleece lined jalettes by the front door for that.

Mostly barefoot, though currently wearing socks as I'm feeling the cold. Flip-flops are for leaving by the front door if I want to nip outside (and it's too wet to want to do that barefooted).

Barefoot until it's cold enough for my feet to go blue, then I used to bust out a lovely pair of celtic sheepskin slippers. But sadly they've just given up the ghost after 5 years of sterling service, so it's just socks 🙁

Crocs?! 😯 when function-over-form goes too far.

why not just go all-in and sport a homer-esque moo-moo? Far more practical than trousers.....

For me, it's not a cold thing. All floors downstairs are hard and bare feet give me a bad back standing on them for any length.

Nothing. I usually end up taking socks off after I've been in the house for a bit. We do have cold tiled floors downstairs, but then I'm just not a pansy 😉

People other than children wear Crocs? Who knew?

Send out that signal to the world that you've given up, and are probably viewing the elasticated waistband trousers from the Daily Mail Sunday Supplement, and thinking 'those look comfy' 😀
