Are they the hinterland of footwear, I bought a pair today, I’m not convinced, I’m not sure I could take the bin out in them, it was a rash decision very out of character for me, I think lockdown affects us all in many different ways, sometime’s manifest’s in impulsive behaviour. What are your thoughts on sock slippers ?! |

Hahah this!
Always have fluffy socks on these days!
Wouldn't take the bins out though! You'd get wet socks!  |

I clearly didn’t think it through, one of my primary motives was to have a Versatile footwear that doubles up as a bin taker outer, poor judgement on my part. |

"I want a pair , my feet and ankles are always cold but I just can’t bring myself to actually take the jump and buy a pair  "
It is a big jump, maybe speak to family members first and get their advice, good luck  |

"I have multiple pairs

This is very decadent that you have multiple pairs, I felt the pressure just purchasing the one pair. |

Overrated, in my humble opinion. The soles wear out too quickly. What you need, City, are some boot slippers. You'd be ever so toasty with some booties and your hot water bottle. |

Yes I think I'll put a survey up on FB and see what my friends think ... 
It's the lack of sexiness, I'm worried for when I have to open the front door to the Curry delivery man or the Amazon courier  |

Most of them were gifts. Anyone that knows me knows I hate being cold!
Have you worn yours yet?? |

I like wearing sock slippers for their comfortable factor. I also like wearing boots wellington because they keep my feet warm and dry when it's raining outside. That happens a lot right now due to the weather, if it's really cold I wear muffs ear as well. |

When I was looking at them my first thought was that sole is gonna go in no time, I should have listened to my instincts, reckless decision. |

Yes, I’m wearing them as I type this, I can’t stop looking at them, I hope that feeling of newness doesn’t go too soon. |

This is a very informative post. I’ve yet to take the plunge and get ear muffs, mainly as I don’t think men can pull that look off, where as women can, maybe I am wrong on this matter I will ponder this some more, warm ears are an enticing thought though. |

"I always imagined you to wear moccasins. And a trappers hat. A modern day, more edgier version, of Davy Crockett."
This is very much how I did see myself up until recently, but at my age comfort is my main concern. Having said that you’ve made me want to purchase a trappers hat now. |

I can see where you’re coming from, maybe put some heels on when those guys turn up. |

Death trap
Unless you live in a bungalow.
Never wear them on stairs.
If you value your life  |

I value all lives, equally. I don’t live in a bungalow, but I rarely go upstairs, there’s nothing for me up there, up there on the stair. |

That's clogs, not slipper socks.
Sturdy but susceptible to wood worm.

Especially those guys, I don’t want them popping their clogs. |

"Maybe they’ll endear themselves to you over time.
I wouldn’t try them myself as I have some trusted blue man slippers for such tasks that require.
"
Hopefully, but I’m nervous about bin day and how they will hold up and what the neighbours will think if I’m spotted taking the bin out with them on, I probably should have gone with blue man slippers too. |

Swings and roundabouts with all footwear it seems. |

Hawaiian shorts are the answer.
Men in any form of slip on foot covering can pull it off regardless when combined with Hawaiian shorts, especially for bin putting out duty.
It is known. |

I have an ongoing battle with the binmen, if they see me in Hawaiian shorts I feel this will give them the upper hand, but then I may gain their respect for wearing them in January, it is a dilemma, one I will have to consider. |

"I prefer multiple pairs of socks, and a few pairs of slippers.
If my feet sweat I can change socks and keep the slippers."
Rotation policy, excellent idea. |

"Love em have lots! Have a unworn pair I got for xmas with unicorns on x"
You must have incredible will power not to wear them, I would have at least tried them on once, even with multiple pairs at my disposal. |

I love them, and wear them all the time at the moment, but I team them with slippers with a sole that you can go outside in . Then you can do bins and have toasty feet |

Today I saw a bloke in a wax jacket, wellies, and a very thin and flimsy pair of pink shorts out walking his dog in the rain. My first thought was 'that man has grit'. I think the bin men will marvel at your hardy masculinity. |

"If you want socks , buy socks. If you want slippers, buy slippers. Any thing that purports to be both, will be neither. "
It’s neither one thing or the other, I am in full agreement |

That’s a striking look, the juxtaposition of the varying styles is very brave, obviously he has total confidence in his masculinity and basks in it, the only thing the binman marvel at is if I remembered to put the right bin out. |

I just seem to wear one pair of shoes for everything, indoors and out and up and down stairs, until they fall apart. I would imagine delegating a role to a slipper sock in the house would mean my shoes may last a bit longer if teemed up with a croc or similar for garden activities. Interesting. |

I got some bought for Christmas having said I wouldn't buy any. Best. Present. Ever! So warm...
Having said that, having to take them off to put the bins out is a chore though! |
