New Slippers

I am in dire need of new winter slippers. I have shopped online for days but am so confused. My current well worn slippers are Keens. I have enjoyed them but they don't make the same style anymore and I don't really like the Keens I'm seeing this year.
I also have a pair of LL Bean leather moccasin style that too wide and flat (no cushioning or support). They flop around on my narrow feet therefore..cold toes.

So CC'rs tell me about your favorite slippers. No Uggs please..not in my budget.
$50 would be my very maximum.

    Isotoners claim to have an arch support.....I don't know, but here is a link. Arch Support Slippers at totes Isotoner

    You could always go with the faux fur lined Crocs.

    Maryland Square has a few different slipper styles in a narrow width.

    I sometimes wear Capezio ballet slippers, not too supportive though.
    (Few people understand how frustrating narrow feet can be. As Zappos says, Life's better when your shoes stay on your feet.)

    I usually get the Isotoners. They probably are not as supportive as your keens though. The problem I have is they stretch out so easily and flop around. I wear them mostly to have something on my feet or my legs hurt vs keeping my feet warm. I don't like any with the sheepskin lining, they irritate my skin too much for some reason. I generally get them at Kohl's or similar. I get the moc style. I have some that have memory foam in them and they are very spongy and soft but they are TOO warm for me.

    I just looked up the Keen's--try Lands End or LL Bean for similar styles to the Keens.

    I like the dearfoam slippers, clog style. They have a thicker sole and comfy lining. Kohl's has them on sale and I think you can also find them on Amazon. They run anywhere from $15.00 on up, depending on sale prices.

    No slippers here.
    If I have to go outside without my shoes I will put on my garden clogs from the back porch.
    Usually.
    I have some Acorn sheepskin slippers that are pretty but I don't like slippers!

    After stumbling upon Deer Stags Slipperooz a couple of years ago, I finally found the only slippers I'd use from then on. They are pretty ugly, with a poor choice of colors, but I love their comfort, the Velcro closure and the fact that I can wear them outside for a bit. They cost about $40, which is within your target and way above what I normally play, but they're worth it to me.

    You don't like the Keen Howsers in wool? I know people who love them. KEEN Footwear - Mobile

    Personally, I don't really wear slippers, but I keep a pair of Crocs by the door for that quick trip outside. Plus, no matter how much the puppy chews on them, it's not a problem. They seem to be indestructible.

    I try hard to avoid buying anything made in the PRC, so for winter slippers I shop for Haflinger and FitFlop. Amazon currently has several styles of Haflinger slippers discounted to within your price range, while the lowest I saw for FitFlop was $60. Something I use as a slipper or house shoe in warm weather is Arcopedico's slide. Hammacher-Schlemmer has it on sale now for $29; usually it's about twice that. Sierra Trading Post and Amazon have both been good sources for great discounts on non-PRC shoes and slippers, if I can be patient enough to check their inventory for a month or so before ordering.

    The only brand that gives me as much support as Keen's is Haflinger and I give the nod to Haflinger.

    My alternative is a pair of Dansko slip-on clogs. They often have them on sale at danskooutlet.com.

    Honestly, I wear my fake uggs from Costco. I have a couple of pairs and rarely wear them out of the house anymore as I like my riding boots better. My feet and ankles freeze all winter. I slip them on with no socks most of the time and they keep me toasty warm.

    I have Mukluks and I love them. If it isn't snowy or rainy outside, I can dash to the corner store in them even.

    Sorel Nakiska Slippers - Women's - Free Shipping at REI.com

    I have these. They are $65 at REI, but check around. I believe they carry them at Cabelas also. I got my last pair on sale for $35. They are very comfy...and warm. And they have a good sole for outside walking to the mailbox...or inside wear.

    I like shearling slippers, but have found the LL Bean ones to be lower quality and not as comfortable the last time I bought them. I have been quietly coveting these:

    RIDGELINE SHEARLING SLIPPER - Slippers - Footwear & Bags | Robert Redford's Sundance Catalog

    Might buy them for myself as a Christmas gift if I get a job by then... or maybe they will go on sale after Christmas. :)

    Thanks for all the ideas. Don't like the Keen Howser because the opening at the top is pretty tight..don't want to wrestle my slippers. Treid on some Acorn booties but they seemed so squishy. Another style might be better. I guess since I've been wearing the Keens for awhile, I'm used to a more sturdy sole.

    Tried on the Sorel Nakiska at REI tonight..liked them pretty well. The suede/sheepskin version was $65 at REI. I saw the same style on Sierra Trading Post only it was a sweater knit instead of the sheepskin and was about half the price. I'm a dedicated STP shopper.
    Saw the Haflingers and read all the great reviews. Will have to go back and see where I found them. I've also been shopping 6pm.com Their prices are pretty competitive too. Any more ideas/opinons are welcomed.
