Slippers.... do you wear them?!

[Sair33]

We were having one of those "Friday" conversations at work..... prompted by somone in my office telling us that he ALWAYS changed into his Marks & Spencer grandad slippers when he got home from work, so we were discussing who wore slippers at home (or work!!) and if they did, what sort of slippers they were!!

SO I was wondering about you lot and what was ...."normal"!!!!

[Moby-Dick]

I'm more of a socks person - which probably explains why mine always have that peephole look.

[Zedmeister]

I'm guilty of Grandad slippers, mainly cause:

A) They are comfy
B) Not many people will see 'em so I can avoid fashionistic worries
C) Me feet are always cold and these are nice and warm

[da_ging]

yep slippers here, i answered grandady style but there not really, but have had the tarten stripy ones before

[Sair33]

B) Not many people will see 'em so I can avoid fashionistic worries

....unless, of course, they are SOOOO comfy that you forget you have them on and go shopping or go to work in them!

[Stewart]

I do yes. They are blue, not fluffy and all man-tpye erm... slippers.

[Zak33]

not a word from you Sair....not a word

[Skii]

I used to, I managed to kick the habit.

[Zak33]

oh...I'm gonna get captured on this either way.....

nope - I'm a bare foot person myself. This is because I'm only 5 foot 6 and have size 12/13 feet ( depending on shoes etc ) so if I wear slippers I look like a golf club.

Saying that... I get called Frodo when my mates come round when I'm walking round barefooted so I cannot win really

LOL that is a superb quote... sooo good i added it to my sig

And whats the point of slippers anyway?..... Sliding round the house on the wooden floor with socks on is so much more fun

Not quite, I like to keep my slippers clean and crisp So no mud!!!

passes him his coat

Right....slippers....are for the following.

A: Stops me stubbing my frikkin toe on the frikkin table leg any more frikkin times
B: the fact that A works means that I dont scream out in pain and then vent my frustration on the wall with my head to alleviate the pain
C: B means that I dont spend all day plastering up holes
D: C means I get more time on IL-2
E: which means I DO bang my head on the desk instead.

I do indeed own slippers in the winter, they keep my feet warm.

[shiato storm]

I usually wear socks, great on wooden floors - not so great when carrying hot food on wooden floors.
the g/f got me some homer simpson slippers...i wear them a bit for novelty value - sure enough they keep my feet very warm but I guess I'm just not that kind of person.


Here's something - why are they called 'slippers 'when if you put them on, invariably, you can't?...[slip that is]
