Slippers, are they acceptable for a 30 year old?

[RobDickinson]

People dont always bother with shoes here anyhow, I used to regulaly see people in busines suits with no shoes in central Chch.

If the old stereotype is true and slippers = Volvo then I recommend an S60R.

Although, I cant imagine ever wearing proper slippers myself. Just wear socks around the house. Away from home (in a dorm building), I wear Crocs.

We have an escapee lads....

Haha yes I know they look er strange to say the least but with socks theyre quite comfortable and can be worn in the shower too. I obviously disagree with anyone who wears them outisde or even considers them a fashion statement.

You wear croks with socks? isnt that a bit like wearing socks with sandles oh hang on crocs are sandles

They look like someone nicked 'em from the set of Seaquest DSV

I suggest rugs and/or thick socks

No - Slippers are wrong and Ugg boots are too. You need look no further than the humble flip flop. Reef's are IMHO, the brand of choice for the discerning surfer and are absolutely ideal for scrubbing around the house as well as quick trips down to the shop. You can also take them on holiday thus maximising usage for minimum spend.

Something like these:



would be perfectly adequate. Also, if you are an alcoholic, Reef also produce a flip flop with a bottle opener in the sole and the 'Dram Sandal' which has a canteen in the sole in which you can store booze!

I would never wear other shoes if I could avoid it...

Although a combination of the two... I give you the UGG slipper. All the rage accross the pond, can be worn out as well. I think they look good.

This debate is unnecessary.

I wear slippers around the house. I wear them because they keep my toes warm and stop me slipping in socks or stepping on hard little bits of un-cleared-up-ness.

Slippers are a properly functional item of house clothing. They are of use, thus they are not gay or wrong. Proviso: they MUST NOT be in any way 'trendy' or fashionable. This is not a parade.

No UGG. No Croc. No 'names'.

My slippers have little flashing lights on them when I walk. They say "Best Dad" on them. My son gave them to me for Christmas. They are totally, totally cool.

End.
