I appreciate your upvote!</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, I know you know the struggle is real. Yes, it's a tough balance to strike -- for me, I think the hard (but not noisy!) sole will be key to feeling "dressed enough." I'll pay close attention to whether things feel right in that regard, if I ever do manage to find a pair that fits and is comfortable. And thank you for appreciating my ye olde wandering minstrel image!</p> <p><b>BrieN</b> and <b>Roberta</b> -- thank you, those two possibilities both look quite promising!</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, oh yes, it does sound like we have a similar foot! I've had good luck with Dansko in the past. Perhaps these will be the ones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-indoor-shoes#post-2341072 Sun, 08 Oct 2023 19:10:23 +0000 Angie 2341072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Q4G4LF8?psc=1&amp;smid=A3433G8DOZX1DM&amp;ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Q.....yp_imgToDp</a></p> <p>We have the same size foot,&nbsp;<b>SarahDH</b>.&nbsp;<b></b>I'm a US6.5 too :)<b></b></p> <p>When I am not wearing my at-home-only ECCO sneakers, I wear these.</p> <p>My stomping around the loft is as quiet as a mouse wearing these!

I have the exact same need for a house shoe but a&nbsp; different kind of foot so what works for me won't work for you. Having said that, I do have some thoughts. My main thought is that a slipper doesn't cut it for me. It feels neither supportive enough, nor "dressed" enough. But a lace up shoe would be the worst -- who needs that bother? It has to be easy on easy off!&nbsp;</p> <p>I laughed out loud at the image of the lute!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-indoor-shoes#post-2341030 Sun, 08 Oct 2023 03:16:24 +0000 madeline 2341030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Haflinger clogs?<br /> Boiled wool, flat sole, very quiet.<br /> Easy on and off. Also warm but not overly warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-indoor-shoes#post-2340953 Sat, 07 Oct 2023 02:00:25 +0000 SarahD8 2340953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards those Svens are really sharp! I am definitely open to a less clompy clog…though not sure I am up for trying 5-6 different brands at this point tbh.</p> <p>Helena actually as I recall (it’s been a few years) the problem with the uggs was they had a weird rubby spot…so maybe it would indeed be worth trying a different style in the brand.</p> <p>Sheryl I’m definitely open to proper shoes! Those M. gemis are nice, though a bit more low profile than what I’d like (I.e., too similar to the ones I already have).</p> <p>NancyW I hope you find some good leads here!</p> <p>Roberta I’m hoping for a backless style (I put my feet up and sometimes curl my legs under me as I’m working so the inside shoes are on and off 50 million times a day. But now you’re reminding me that I also need to replace my slip on Skechers and those Rykas look nice…</p> <p>Val Norge fuzzy lining is not important! Definitely open to something marketed as a shoe. I looked around for mule style shoes a bit and didn’t see anything that fir the bill (maybe mules are not trending?) so wondered what other fabbers had seen around.</p> <p>LaPed definitely open to wool felt! I’ve been kinda scared off German sounding brands bc of the arch support issue…worried they will all have those molded footbeds like birkies lol. I definitely like the look of the brands you suggest though!</p> <p>Kate, oh FANTASTIC to know that glerups work for a low arch foot. That brand has just vaulted to the top of my list! And great that they have been such a long-standing solution for you! Fingers crossed…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-indoor-shoes#post-2340952 Sat, 07 Oct 2023 01:57:03 +0000 Anonymous 2340952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some Vionic slippers that look like suede loafers. Look at their offerings. &nbsp;Mine work well. &nbsp;They stay on my rather narrow feet and can go outside. &nbsp;I have had mine in constant use for two years. &nbsp;I would buy them again. &nbsp;They are fleece lined so could be too warm for socks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-indoor-shoes#post-2340921 Fri, 06 Oct 2023 21:54:15 +0000 Kate 2340921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Glerups wool slippers. I also have narrow, low volume and low arch feet. Most shoes and slippers are too wide for me, but you may be able to size down as I did to reduce the width. As LaPed noted, you can also use wool felt insoles as I've done many a time to adjust the fit.</p> <p>I've used Glerups as my indoor shoes (and occasionally outdoor ones for putting out trash or going next door) for over a decade. They have a leather sole and I think are available in a harder one too, and in various styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-indoor-shoes#post-2340917 Fri, 06 Oct 2023 20:39:49 +0000 LaPed 2340917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, is felted wool too slipper-y?<br />Do you have better luck with Euro sizing than US? <br />My first thought is slides from Kyrgies, Glerups, or Giesswein.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://us.giesswein.com/collections/womens-wool-slippers">https://us.giesswein.com/colle.....l-slippers</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://kyrgies.com/collections/womens">https://kyrgies.com/collections/womens</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.glerups.com/collections/slip-ons">https://www.glerups.com/collections/slip-ons</a></p> <p>I'm pretty sure Kyrgies sells insoles to customize for lower volume (but honestly wool felt insoles are an easy DIY in any shoe). I think all three offer a range of outsoles, some more structured and some less. Leather will be the least clompy, but feels less shoe-like.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-indoor-shoes#post-2340915 Fri, 06 Oct 2023 20:17:06 +0000 Val MN 2340915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it important for it to have a fuzzy lining? If not, it seems like the hard sole and the half sizes would be easier to find by looking at regular shoes in mule styles. But I saw that some or all of your already-trieds were fuzzy or shearling lined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-indoor-shoes#post-2340893 Fri, 06 Oct 2023 18:03:53 +0000 Roberta 2340893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am VERY fond of my Ryka slip-ons, which are light and quiet and non-skid on hard floors. They come in a variety of colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-indoor-shoes#post-2340882 Fri, 06 Oct 2023 17:11:08 +0000 NancyW 2340882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use slip on shoes to which I add an insert for my arch. My current Ryka knit mules are no longer available so I will be looking too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-indoor-shoes#post-2340878 Fri, 06 Oct 2023 16:56:55 +0000 Sheryl 2340878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you considered using shoes?

The existing shoes are so low-profile that if I am wearing them with skinnies or especially leggings I start to feel like I ought to be strolling around with a lute or something iykwim.</p> <p>But, I have had a terrible time finding a style I want that will work for my feet! The problem seems to be two-fold: <ul> <li>I am between sizes in footwear that is marketed as a slipper. Size 6 is just a hair short (I'll be wearing this footwear with socks, not bare feet), and size 7 is super wide and floppy. (I have narrow, low-volume feet).</li> <li>A lot of the more substantial, less-bedroomy slipper styles on the market have a lot of arch support/"anatomical footbed." Not good for my low-arch feet. Like walking on rocks!</li> </ul> Here is what I am looking for: <ul> <li>Flat/low heel</li> <li>Mule/backless slip-on style</li> <li>Hard sole</li> <li>Looks more like it belongs with clothes than pajamas if you get my drift...these are shoes I am going to be wearing for my workday</li> <li>Gray, cognac, or tan</li> <li>Minimal arch support</li> <li>Bonus points if it comes in half sizes</li> <li>Not too clompy/loud (my husband's work space is directly below mine, I have a pair of Swedish slip-on clogs that I used as house shoes for a long time but they drive him nuts)</li> </ul> I am open to either something marketed as a shoe or something marketed as a slipper. I will pay up to $150US without qualms. For the exact right thing that will last for-freaking-ever I would go up to $200 but I might roll my eyes.</p> <p>Here's what I have already tried:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zappos.com/p/sorel-nakiska-slide-ii-black-natural-2/product/9053730/color/602254">Sorel Nakiska II slide</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zappos.com/p/koolaburra-by-ugg-milo-black-black-black/product/9103242/color/24150">Koolaburra by Ugg Milo</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zappos.com/p/sanita-lodge-slide-slate/product/9490887/color/642">Sanita Lodge Slide</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zappos.com/p/living-kitzbuhel-kitzbuehler-dark-forest/product/9669750/color/45454">Kitzbuehler Living Kitzbuhl</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zappos.com/p/born-zoe-dark-green/product/9542826/color/2295">Born Zoe</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zappos.com/p/strive-lille-light-grey/product/9825479/color/6700">Strive Lille</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zappos.com/p/taos-footwear-wooled-class-grey/product/9787934/color/401">Taos Wooled Class</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zappos.com/p/revitalign-oceanside-ii-orthotic-slipper-grey/product/9659924/color/401">Revitalign Oceanside II</a></p> <p>Hive mind, please work your magic!
