I have wellies for my serious garden work, but I'm looking for something comfy for inside but capable just to nip out in, on pavement mostly but quite possible they can get wet from stepping over the grass now and then. Clogs I can't get on board with, you mean like Crocs style right?

I do! I wear socks religiously. It takes a really hot summer day to catch me without socks on. Just looked at those, sandals aren't something I can get along with, bought a similar pair on a summer holiday once but felt super weird to me and I went back to trainers.

Actually, I've just looked at their Ascot slipper and I've had those before. Iirc the outsides of the slipper ended up over hanging the outer sole and basically touched the floor because their rubber soles are narrower than the shoe. This made them wear down on pavement and let water in.

No it was specifically the boot size I meant, when looking for good slippers people tend to recommend UGG boots (and/or Crocs). Not a big fan of the brand tbh but I can ignore that if they are bifl. How long have you had yours? Do you use them outside?

Haha I knew someone would! My wife loves them, and I've tried them. The sole is weird with its little dots! And they have holes in them! I got her the fur lined ones and tried those too, but they squeak! Drives me insane. Crocs are definitely out.

Just looked at reviews and they're mixed, good for outdoor but insoles don't last. They look a bit silly but will check out some more reviews as they sound ideal on paper, cheers!

Yeah that's the kind of thing I normally wear. Shame they don't ship internationally.

From the many slippers I've had, two things that stand out as a possible concern on those though is the fur lining on the sole and the thin outer sole. Former trends to very quickly compress into uncomfyness and the latter can wear down pretty quick. Did you notice either of those?

Yeah my wife tells me all the time "slippers are only for inside the house!" and I've tried to do that, having my trainers by the back door etc but it's faffy and I forget, and there's like 5 exits to the outside in the house. This is why I thought it might not be something I can find; multipurpose, slippers that work outside too.

That store has a global version though and their moccasins look good, cheers.
