    Not cheap but rubber soles makes them fine for the odd trip outside.

    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Crocs with lining is the way to go. Lining can be removed and bunged in the washing machine.

    Not sure his expertise extends to comfort, probably rather in the exact opposite direction.

    Baffies, please. A much better word than slippers. It even feels comfy.

    John Lewis sheepskin for me. The champagne socialists choice.

    Guaranteed to have a hard sole.
    Thanks for the ideas and yes they are baffies! Been out of Scotland since '92 so my vocabulary has deteriorated.

    heard of baffies before, certainly never heard slippers being referred to as kicks before as per the OP.

    Trying to be trendy 😎 I read an interview with Lee Brilleaux where he referred to shoes as foot furniture. Kicks are trainers so I guessed indoor kicks were, slip I mean baffies
