I do and have several pairs... The current pair - sensible and practical for running to the washing line a sheepskin bootee pair - after bath to keep piggies toasty a gardening/car cleaning pair - the older 'sensible' pair (identical as it happens) kept in the back porch. Decent PRACTICAL slippers seem hard to come by now - all 'fluffly or flimsy. maybe there are becoming a thing of the past- when we were kids and we went to Aunties for tea, we always took out slippers - was only polite- These days people would laugh if you went visiting and took your slippers - wouldn't they?

I have mine on now,falling to bits mind but keeping my little piggy's warm. Angie

Me and Hubby still wear slippers Jess love them, and My BIL & SIL always bring there's when they come to visit lol Linda

Yes Jess............green moccasins (honestly).

Hi Jess I keep a pair of black velvet ballerina style slippers to take with me when visiting friends and they always look at me amazed LOL:)) At home I wear flip flops apart from the coldest of winter. Then I have to reluctantly get out my sheepskin moccassins. For gardening I keep an old pair of flip flops (not very sensible I know) and an old pair of ballerina style suede shoes for when it's cold. Writing this down has made me realise how odd I am:)) Chrissie x p.s. I forgot to mention that I go barefoot except on cold flooring

Yes, I have several pairs; old-fashioned (supplied by my mother), cosy furry suede boot slippers (suppied by my husband), huge black and white cow heads - that actually moo! (supplied by daughter) and an ancient pair of trainers that have been downgraded to slippers (supplied by me!) Bev x

no, don't own a pair, nor PJ's ;)

Hi Jess Yes we all wear slippers-I have to take mine on holiday-forgot 1 year and was gutted:(( I remember having to take them when we went visiting relatives too-folks would laugh nowadays wouldn`t they! I always ask for slippers for birthday/Christmas-you can`t have enough pairs can you? LOL Diane:)))

Just remembered a funny (well, not funny at the time) story. A builder who used to live across the road always had to take his shoes off before going into his own house and if he came to visit, he always took them off in the porch. One day, he came into our house and dutifully removed his shoes in the porch. However, his socks must have been filthy because after he left there were perfect black footmarks all over our cream carpet :))

Nana Anna - 2nd PMSL at you today! I used to like those socks with the grips on the bottom! becx

Lots of slipper wearing in this part of Kent. At grandson's primary school they all change into slippers once they get get inside school, - and change back each breaktime into normal shoes for outdoor play. My mother in law doesn't want her and f-in-l to wear slippers as it 'makes us look old'. They are 84 and 87.

Mine are burgundy and soooo comfy xxhugxx

Yes, but mine are 'Cosyfeet' slippers....very wide. Bev, where have you been?? Deanna X

I wear a pair of slip-on trainers about the house, that way when the window cleaner or such like calls, I don't feel I have to hide my feet when answering the door. Also, they will withstand trips outside to the dustbin etc much better than slippers. Liz x

I have 8 or 9 pairs, 1 of which are kept permanently in the car in case I go anywhere I can wear them ie my mums. My latest pair are like the furry fashion boots that are about at the minute, they are fantastic and keep your feet really warm, really well made and only cost me £2 from a shop in Great Yarmouth a month ago.

Hi Jess! Weren't you well brought up!! My mum made us all wear slippers after my brother trod on a needle as a child! So yes is the answer to that one!! lol :0) Joan x

Do other slipper fans find SLIPPER SOCKS pointless? just not the same are they ?

Theres nothing like from coming home from work and putting your slippers on 'pure heaven' I have blue ones for going outside and fluffy purple ones for inside. Yvonne

Jess I agree Slipper sox are not in the same league. You've got to be able to slip into and out of slippers at will... with no effort of bending to pull up sox. You can't dash to rescue the washing from the line on a rainy day either. Gwyn

I tried them -were they called totes? Awful didn`t like them at all Diane:))
