New Slippers

<p>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.</p>

<p>So CC’rs tell me about your favorite slippers. No Uggs please…not in my budget.
$50 would be my very maximum.</p>

<p>Isotoners claim to have an arch support…I don’t know, but here is a link. [Arch</a> Support Slippers at totes Isotoner](<a href=“http://shop.totes-isotoner.com/accessories/Arch%20Support%20Slippers]Arch”>http://shop.totes-isotoner.com/accessories/Arch%20Support%20Slippers)</p>

<p>You could always go with the faux fur lined Crocs.</p>

<p>What kind of style do you like?</p>

<p>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.)</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>I just looked up the Keen’s–try Lands End or LL Bean for similar styles to the Keens.</p>

Footsmart generally has supportive shoes. Here’s a link to their slippers.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>I just got these:

a little pricer than you wanted, but very supportive</p>

<p>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!</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>You don’t like the Keen Howsers in wool? I know people who love them. [KEEN</a> Footwear - Mobile](<a href=“http://www.keenfootwear.com/us/en/product/shoes/women/blvd/howser%20(wool)/charcoal]KEEN”>http://www.keenfootwear.com/us/en/product/shoes/women/blvd/howser%20(wool)/charcoal)</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>The only brand that gives me as much support as Keen’s is Haflinger and I give the nod to Haflinger. </p>

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

<p>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.</p>

<p>I have narrow feet and I love Acorn boiled wool slippers. Sierra Trading has good prices</p>

<p>Target has knockoff Uggs slippers for about $20. They’re very warm and comfy.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>me too!</p>

<p>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:</p>

<p>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. :)</p>
