[Closed] I want some posh manly slippers

Homeys for me...

Homeys??

EDIT: Ahh Homeys, maybe a bit over styled for my taste but not ruling them out.

Birkenstock Amsterdam

and a healthy dose of MTFU.

Slippers? Really? What next? A pair of these?

Flipflops wont cut it CFH, I want toastie toes.(I've just put my heating on FFS!)

Nothing wrong with a pair of slippers, especially if you've got wood floors everywhere!

I've been wearing Toms for the last couple of years. Very comfy and not too slipper-ish.

and damn the lot of you!

I tried some silly expensive Celtic sheepskin things for a very short while. Short because the bastards fell apart in about a year.

I like crocs. there. I said it.

Wood floors here, and in Reef Phantoms all year round! 😀

Matt, MrsCFH has the "outdoor" version of those, and adores them. Especially on ski trips. Off slopes, in to comfy warmth!

At home, however, she's in her Havianas this evening. 🙂

Stoner, you're dead to me.

Mm,n Currently wearing some leather Nike sandals as I have killed my last pair of slippers, might give some Crocs a go.
Used to wear them in Oz for work and were surprisingly hard-wearing whilst being comfortable.

nice pair of brogues, I'd say

@captain - mrs_oab and I both share two items of identical clothing. Berghaus waterproof trousers and outdoor NF Tent mules.. 8)

Rhode for me...

Fur lined crocs and wearing flip flops indoors. The human race really is going to hell in a hand-cart. I despair sometimes, I really do.

We don't all have underfloor heating, DD. 😉

bedroom athletics are what you need

NF Tent mules

Are made of man-made fabric which very quickly stinks ime.

Doesn't the commune have a washing machine, Ernie?

🙂

Camper.

I got these after a suggesiton on STW, they're comfy, warm have a good but light sole and only look mildly stupid.

Winningest so far.

A slipper should be easily slipped on without the need for fingering the back over you heel so to speak.
It also needs to be fur lined, just because.

I'm with Binners on the crocs. Liner washable, warm, pretty hard wearing, kids don't laugh, wife doesn't borrow. That last point makes them good enough for me.

Binners? Eh?

🙂

Anyway, Mahabis - a company so far up its slipper-shod arse they make Rapha sound down to earth.

kids don't laugh

😆

Good God! I thought Homeys were an extravagance at £30, but those mahabi things are twice that! Too much for me.....!

Aye, sorry Stoner.

No, the kids don't laugh. They just wear their own.

No, the kids don't laugh.

Then they need to learn some social skills. You can start with "Thou shalt laugh at anyone with a double digit age wearing crocs of any form.*"

*If fur-lined, thou shalt also poke them with a stick.

Seems fair.

These are the absolute business.

Dead warm, but with no bagginess or sloppiness.

Nimble.

You can do all sorts in these, climb steep alpine chalet stair/ladders, via feratta, cat bugling, the lot.

Or Just Sit About in them.

Slippers ?? really I gave up on them when I was 9!

cat bugling

<follows Drapers of Glastonbury link>

*LOLs*

Close, CFH, but that's not a bugle.

Our house is tiled, floors are cold, and socks would be a weekly purchase without slippers.

I'm trying to wear out a pair mother bought me that I found in the loft currently, but planning on some nice moccasins for the winter, suede probably.

I'm 27.

[img] [/img]

Honestly - I think M&S trumps all the bollocks on here

Get yerself married and a pair will arrive annually thereafter, via the MiL

Camper, they are ace got them over 2 years ago no sign of wearing out. Comfy, warm, decent sole and you can slip them on no handed but they dont feel like they are going to kill you when running downstairs

Then they need to learn some social skills. You can start with "Thou shalt laugh at anyone with a double digit age wearing crocs of any form.*"

No such thing as a manly slipper

Get some that are comfortable

I resisted for 40 years, but I finally gave in

Got some from Clarks

Good lord.

They look like something Noel Coward might have worn 🙂

Hardly Manly are they.

Honestly - I think M&S [s]trumps [/s] holds in place all the bollocks on here

Pants. You are right.

Good lord.

AWESOME

The campers look perfect! Can only find them in size 7s though - I may have been looking at wimmins...
'Nice' pair of Clark's spotted...

Was Joel Veitch (rathergood.com) involved in the making of that gif, CFH?

Nordikas here and very comfy they are too. I rather like the Draper slippers - they'd go well with a dressing gown whilst smoking a cigarette in a cigarette holder. What brandy for such attire?

(Expects flaming from the Captain!)

I went for Columbia tent type slipper and they still going strong!

[url= http://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?Sec=10&Sub=44 ]Muji[/url] are surprisingly comfortable and are machine-washable. Not really posh though. Not like Drapers of Glastonbury.

🙂

Camper ones are great but I have had to chuck mine now, lasted a few years though. Uniqlo do a similar but cheaper alternative that are still going strong.

are nice :-)[/url]

Posh, manly, shaped like a pink mouse. Pick 2. 🙂

A snip at £1100

Ok when I said posh I meant not Tesco specials, you've gone too far now lobbydosser.
Anyway, ordered a pair of Clarke's. That's right, Clarke's slippers - shoot me.

If I bought shoes from clarkes I would need to ask someone else to shoot me 🙂

i don't like agreeing with ernie, but on this he's right. i've got some of the hard tread version - they stink as you get flippin hot in them. stuck em in the washing machine as well (don't), they still stink. Missus hates them, but they're staying.

I have Church's, sadly they no longer do them in the wide fitting in black (Burgandy only which I don't like). My two pairs are approx 20 and 15 years old and much loved 🙂

If all you want are plain, simple black shoes (and that is all I want out of a pair of shoes for work) then they are hard to beat.

My slippers are a 15 year old pair of Merrell sandals minus the heal strap. If it's cold I just wear them with socks.

Sui: Try a couple of washes with Halo. May just tame the stink.

footflaps: Socks and sandles, special! 😆

I bought some on a discount - could be good but in reality the neoprene cup at the back offers no support and the rubber sole can come away from the slipper if you stub your toe on something. Also the insole lining has come away and they are looking a bit tatty now.

I saw a similar slipper from Ecco which looked much better, and have just noticed these on sale :

Good mine from TKmaxx
Real lambswool – or someones wool anyway
Best things ever when you have no carpets
Starting to wear out and next pair will have backs raher than the backless current ones, as sometimes they fall off walking down stairs.

Yes, I agree, mahabis are a bit steep.

Slightly less expensive, but no less manly.

Has nobody suggested felt Birki's?

Sir, will be wanting a pair of these:

Woolly Crocs for the win here. Anything else is poncense.

Much underrated combo!

after a recommendation from a friend i just ordered a Mahabis pair of slippers. ideal for wearing in the kitchen or putting the bins out with the rubber sole but with the soles off for feet on the sofa.

Congratulations

You could've been like me, and had these:

after a recommendation from a friend i just ordered a Mahabis pair of slippers.

just replaced my mahabis with something decent - those Eccos ones I linked to earlier - down to £65 in the sale.

insoles on the mahabis fell apart, the rubber soles are too easy to kick off, the outers look rough now as they fluffed up. And the neoprene heel retainer is useless as well, offers no support.

My Eccos are similar in that you can wear them with the heel cap flat, or up around your heel.

I did slag the mahabis off earlier in the thread...
