I just wear the classic uggs (tall) as slippers. Mine are the sand colour. They are super comfy. I've had them for about five years, but since I don't wear them much outside, they look brand new. The only downside is that although they are slip-on, you do need to use at least one hand to pull them on!

I don't wear uggs (or any slippers, for that matter) all the time indoors, though. Much of the time I just wear socks. I come home, I take off my shoes, and walk around in my socks. Actually I'm wearing socks as I type this. I mostly wear uggs when I get up in the morning and it's freezing and I don't already have socks on.

In the summer I wear flip flops or just have bare feet.

Ugh, my house shoes. They're crocs (hanging head in shame). Nothing else works to keep my feet pain-free in this house - tile directly on concrete. At least the colors are great - white with a bright apple green strap.

I wear Crocs flip flops in the summer because, just as Alexandra said, they are so comfortable on hard floors. I've had mine for 8 years; they are indestructibe!

And ugly or not I am so checking out those lined ones that cinnamon fern posted! I see that they make a lower heeled one...I might have to have those!.

Great thread! I attached some Finds. The first is similar to the black
booties I have. I am also attaching some fun plaid and red ones. I don't
think they are for me but if I can find leopard booties that don't look
like they were designed for little girls, I will be all over those. I
wear the black booties with black slim pants (hems rolled) and it makes
me feel fab while chasing kids around indoors.

Oh, Suja, I'm so glad you chimed in. Now I know what a slipper bootie is! Those look super cozy. Hmm....

I have to admit... while I HAVE Acorns... I seem wear Birks with socks pretty much all the time. Unless it's really cold. In which case I go and stand in the bathroom!

Super shame!!! It's not Crocs that I wear, it's IMITATION Crocs that are hand me downs from my mom. They are the comfiest thing I own, don't ever hurt or pinch, and provide needed support and cushioning. My problem with most slippers are that they have no arch support and make my feet cold from the soles. These are 200% indestructible; otherwise I would at least buy them in a cute color.

Wow, big high five, Angie!! merrell moc encore breeze the ultimate summer clog primo for taking doggies out. Then The merrell moc encore ice (which I am wearing now) for cold weather. They was up well and are so comfortable. I know, not glamourous but I've been know to wear them for casual errands. Maybe it's normcore, but I love them!! Long live Merrell!! Suz - amazon, zappos etc carries them but the old encore ice get much better reveiws than the new iteration, fyi anyone interested.

gryffin, that is really interesting! So maybe I could nab a pair of the Ice on ebay for cheaper and better. Hmmm. What I like about those is they lift you off the ground. I really need that on my super cold floors. Anything without a true sole is sort of wasted. Plus, when I am cooking and standing for a long time, I like the cushiony support.

Suz - I was just looking, since I bought them out last year, looks like Merrell has reissued. http://www.amazon.com/Merrell-.....id=1415060 They also come in this color which you might like called stone. Like Uggs you want them fitted so you build a nice air pocket and they stay one really well. I waterproof mine and wash them with uggs cleaner when they get dirty and they are about 5 yr old and look good and that's with abuse(of course I have two pairs waiting just in case;-). I have raynauds and with socks my feet are toasty. You are about an 1" off, lots of support - took me forever to find "slippers" this is the ne plus ultra for me!! Good luck, you have lots of great choices!!

Gryffin, that is great -- thank you so much! I have a feeling these might seriously work for me. I may well order. The other place has free returns so I can do a compare/ contrast.

I see you hit the buy button but I had to put in my vote anyway. I just love these LLbean shearling clogs (see the reviews). They are not as beautiful as the Uggs but the price is better for the wallet. The shearling molds to the the shape of your foot and they have a very sturdy sole that can be worn outside. Mine have accidentally gone to the grocery store. I really never want to take them off! They come in chocolate, tan, and gray. I have a very narrow heel and have no problem keeping these on. Good luck!

Jeanie, thank you! I was planning to order that style but worried it would have the same problem my current Foamtreads have (walking down on the back part). I am still considering it, though.

In the meantime, look, gryffin, what I found on a Canadian site:

http://www.walkingonacloud.ca/.....55944.aspx

Can't post a photo but it is the Merrell Ice in a red tone! I ordered those to try as well. Now I have options!

Suz, the LLBean clogs have a stiff lip in the back that contains your feet and doesn't mush down. At least on the version I have from last year. I want those Merrell Ice clogs for dog walking now!

This is the thing, Jeanie. It's a stiff lip on the Foamtreads, too -- they are made of suede and the braid thing is also quite stiff. But somehow I end up smushing it down even though the shoe is not too short. I think it is because it is a bit wide for me, maybe, or just the wear and tear of in and out? Not sure.

Anyway -- I'll keep you all posted on my 3 options. Imagine having three pairs of house shoes! I won't keep them all .... I think....

I don't own slippers. I wear some old Hush Puppies leather clogs that are really comfortable with or without socks. I also have these:

Suz, have i lost the plot? i thought the purpose of getting these "slipper-shoes" is to mimic the panache and excitement that "real" shoes add to the outfit and to decrease work-from-home outfit boredom. all of these slippers look cozy and super warm but not what i would think of as adding panache and excitement. functional is what i would use to describe these. is that what you are going for?

Ah, Ruth, you caught me out!!

Well, I do need at least one warm pair. That is non negotiable.

So, let me see some suggestions for house shoes with panache that will also keep my feet from freezing!

And stay on.

My new ones are from Acorn. I live in a milder climate, though, so I didn't want anything lined. But I am happy with them. I am at home most of the time also, & wanted something that looked nicer than standard slippers.

Like gryffin and Angie I have Merrells. I use a mary jane Merrell Encore as house/studio shoes http://www.sierratradingpost.c.....n~p~2192n/ I just wear them with woolly socks in winter, and they are super easy to slip on and off without using your hands yet still stay on my feet unlike some clogs I've tried. I've had them for years and years and wear them daily. I originally got them because I was getting backaches and realized it had to do with no proper foot support when I was indoors. These solved the problem and continue to do their job years later.

Suz - so glad you found them. Let me know if you order. Hope you like!!

I do like the navy slip on sneakers that you posted. Fashionable for the moment, not sure how warm. Or laceless cons or maybe some patterned vans. Not quite ash-like but may serve indoor shoe purpose. Sizing up may let you wear thick socks to boost warmth.

I fear a unicorn hunt --exciting + stylish+ winter warm.

Yes...this is the issue. Worse yet, Vans (and similar) don't stay on my feet. Yet I haven't given up hope for a stylish slip on sneaker option. Still may go that route. With socks, it could work. Thing is, they do not provide much support....

Hmmm. More thinking. I can return anything I have ordered -- so nothing is lost and this way at least I can rule things out or in. Thanks for the help, all!

Hmm, well, if it's an actual shoe for wearing inside the house, my favorite is my Taryn Rose ballet shoe with the cross straps. Great support, light enough to pack in my carryon and looks good inside or outside the house. A mite pricey, but I bought mine at 60% off at the Bay.

I LOVE my pink leopard Ugg slippers! I wear them all day at home, and even out to walk the dogs. So comfy, so silly they make me smile

Being in Australia, I don't really have an recommendations, but here are mine:
#1 Winter (don't faint when you see the colour lol) & #2 Summer

Suz, hmmm I don't know about the back lip thing then. Maybe I walk different. My feet tend to mush up into the front of the slippers. Vans don't stay on my feet either.
If you are looking for house shoes....I have these not so sexy Easy Spirit slip on tennis shoes. I only mention it because they now have a version called Black Quilt that are cute. The Merrells are my wish list for House Shoes.

I wear Birkis from Birkenstock, the covered ones.
There are models with a felt top that feel like slippers. The ones I actually have are ones with a cross-cross top like the second pair. The nice thing about Birkis is that the cork footbed is wonderfully insulating and very comfortable when I need to stand on a timber floor in the kitchen for a long time.

Here is a link to a whole lot more styles:

I bought these lined moccasins with different beadwork on summer holiday. I was willing to pay for a local indigenous product rather than something mass-produced. Later I realized that the components (such as the rabbit fur) are probably still from China, horrible farming conditions etc. Globalization! I am really enjoying them though, so nice to have proper warm slippers on our cold wood floors.

I have two house shoes.

The ones I wear the most, alone, with pleasure: X-tensible stretch walkers, in which I have inserted my orthopedic soles. They truly are so comfy I have a hard time taking them off. BUT they look very, very, very casual, especially in the winter when I enjoy wearing them around the house with fun stripped socks in them. The look is purposely frump.

That is why I have my fancy back up, for when I am invited in pple's homes, or when I have guest. They are Sam Edelman's ballet flats. A bit too flat for everyday use, but very easy to put in a purse, and adaptable with most outifts.
