Trainers with the laces very very loose. For cold weather. trainers big enough to get warm socks in.

BBBevan, I do like those slippers! ?

Flyflot, Skechers, or Pavers own brand for me. Sandals in the summer and light shoe styles for the winter. Trouble is they last too long grin.

I have to wear something supportive that has room for an orthotics so wear Skechers or Pavers.
Widerfit Shoes have a selection but perhaps you may find their styles a bit frumpy, although they have some similar to the ones in Marydoll's picture and in several widths.

Try Haflinger. They are a Germany company ,I think, who do very trendy, comfy slippers

I have just bought a leopard print pair of wedges from Pavers.
They had money off as well.

I also use Sketchers as slippers.

Haflingers, boiled wool clogs are my choice for winter indoor wear. They have excellent arch support, so important when worn all day. Also lovely and warm, yet breathable. Very hard wearing. I've had my current pair for several years. In summer I wear Sketcher's leather slip on sandals.

Have you looked at Moshulu?

I wear Skechers indoors instead of slippers, as they are so comfortable. Another benefit is that they have proper soles so that I can pop outside without changing them. They come in plain colours, jazzy prints or even sparkle if you so wish smile. I have wide feet and bunions but the standard shoes fit. However they also do a 'relaxed fit' range.
I hope you find something you like.

Have you looked at Clarkes shoes on-line GilT57 ?.
I only buy Clarkes and they last years.

I have wide feet, exacerbated by high arches. Why can I not find slippers/house shoes which are reasonably attractive? Why do manufacturers assume that anyone with my feet issue is over 90, with bunions, no taste and possibly living in a care home? Frumpy doesn't do them justice. No offence to anyone in the above category of course, but I need something more than my current slip on flat slippers as I am at home most of the day. Any suggestions or sympathy would be appreciated!!
