Slippers

I know this is a bit off topic but you guys are an encyclopedia of knowledge.

I’ve tried on over 100 pairs of slippers in the last year. None of them are close to proper fit. The problem is my high instep. I can get my foot in there just past my toes and then it gets stuck. From what I can tell, you need a foot shaped like a mallard duck to wear these things. So any suggestions? Anyone solve this problem?

Thanks guys

I use Acorn Moc Slippers. I ware out about 1 pair per year working from home and wearing them all day 5 days a week. Inexpensive, warm and comfortable.

So do you need high arch support?

Nope, just something my foot will fit into.

I know people who just wear Crocs around the house. Just sayin.

I love my crocs. But in all seriousness, go to a custom boot store have them fit your foot And build you some custom to your fit slippers. Spendy, but you won’t regret it.

I have never been much of a slipper guy. I have received pairs in the past and like you have not been too happy with the fit and didn’t wear them. I received a pair of these LseLom rubber sole slippers and I use them all the time. I guess since I found the link for you I will order another pair.

Hush puppies is a good brand

Yes, but isn’t it a problem that Crocs are so sexy that the better half would be all over you all the time and you’d never get anything done?

Do you wear special shoes and boots? Hard to believe that over 100 pair and nothing will fit. Maybe the feeling of wearing slippers just are not for you?

Mine wear out about every other year. Wish they would make a more durable set that would last longer. By winter #2, they already have holes and the soles are completely worn out. I run into the same issue with sandals in the summer time. They only last about 2 years. Whereas my shoes last 4-5 years.

I’m on my second pair of “Old Friend Footwear” brand mocassins. They’re over in Chanhassen…been happy with them.

“Do you wear special shoes and boots? “

Close. If they don’t lace up starting at my toes they probably won’t fit. For example, I tried every make and model of Muck boots and none of them would go on.

Thanks for the suggestions gentlemen!

I envy people who can wear slippers. It doesn’t matter if I wear no socks, socks, different types of socks…..my feet will sweat into oblivion with slippers on.

Mybe something like these gripper slippers?

Get a firm grip on your Mancard. Try the fleece lined crocs. You can wear them out in the snow. Just watch smooth wet concrete!! They are also my long trip winter driving shoes.

OR!!

Talk to someone who does fur/leather work at the sportsmens shows, I bet you could get a custom pair fitted.

Have you tried these Red Wings? I have wide feet, and they work for me, super comfortable. Most RW Stores should have them to try on too.

How can that be? Don’t we have any privacy anymore? Big Brother is alive & well. Remember they can spot a pimple on a knats ass.

I used to wear crocs around the house but gave them up when I got me a pair of hey dudes. They are comfy and actually wearing them at work today.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but if your feet are shaped like a pair of stiletto heels have you considered that it’s maybe a medical issue, not a shoe issue? I know there’s a condition that causes the tendons in your hand to contract over time, does that apply to feet, too? I’m sure you’ve probably already considered it, but if not, maybe something to look into?

Hey dudes are awesome

Olukai is a brand that typically has some high arch options. Not terribly sure where there might be some to try on but looks like they have a good sale going on now.

I’m giving Crappie a pair of those for Christmas.

I just ordered a pair of these. I like that they’ll keep the ankles warm. Also should be nice in the ice shack.
