slippers, yes or no
 

Is it right for a young man to own and wear slippers?

We have a debate raging at work as to how old you have to be before you can morally admit to wearing fluffy things on your feet

we have two under 20 who do

we have two over 30 but under 40 who really never would

we have one over 40 who is off this week but definitely would

all the customers and female workers we have canvassed have said that slippers are not made for men of certain age due to the 'fluffy' factor

in this day and age I would like to be absolutely certain before I start questioning the sexuality (joke) (ish) of the two teenagers that do wear them

Hate teh things

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

No I won't wear them nether, me Mam bought me some from Pontins when I was young did they get worn? No they didn't, and I've never worn any since.

Won't where flipflops nether, even one's that have sports logos on them like addidas.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Most definitely, as long as they are not pink and fluffly. I buy mine at the Flint and Feather store in the Tyenendinaga Mohawk First Nations territory. They are locally made and are more moccasins for the indoors rather than true slippers. I have a rough pair for daily use and a pair with some beautiful bead work on them. It's either that or walk around the house in my socks or bare feet. A buddy of mine has a pair with floppy Moose antlers on them, but that may be going a little too far.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I don't see why not so long as they're not the fluffy variety...:D

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I think spug wears them - hes 37, my nephews wear them ones 18 the other 15 (that is when the dog doesnt have em), my bro wears them hes 48 and hes worn them all his life, my bro in law wears em hes 57. So basically yes.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Course they should wear them.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

and what is wrong with slippers???
they keep ya feet warm and hide ugly feet!!!

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I voted 'no' on behalf of my partner,i quote....
'no way,men should only get them on their 60th birthday along with a pipe'.
Well i reckon i should buy him some for christmas lol

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

What's wrong with slippers? They're cleaner in the house than wearing outdoor shoes and in cold winter they're warmer than just socks.
Seems like a commonsense decision to wear them.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I am one of life's dirtiest people!


But let's be honest, changing from your outside shoes to something that has only touched your carpet Has to be good!
:cool:

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

If a guy wants to wear slippers then there is nothing to stop him. I have had slippers all my life to as far back as I can remember.

The full name is carpet slippers to be worn at home so that the outdoor footwear doesn’t damage the carpets.

Believe it or not, when I joined the navy in ’54 as a junior electrician part of my kit that was issued was a pair of slippers.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Reece wears slippers, he's 11, my bro occasionally wears monster slippers, he's 27, my dad wears slippers, he's 62....so you've got them right across the board there

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Is he serious ... for my sixtieth, I got myself a new Yamaha 1300 V-Star ... and a pipe???? Maybe a bong! I can wait until I get old before slippers and a bike would be apt as birthday gifts. And next birthday, maybe a gift certificate for one of the local houses of pleasure.:D

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Oops ... that should be "slippers and a pipe". The only pipes (apart from the bong) that I want are after market shotguns for the Yammahammer.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I dont think its a problem, been looking for a new pair for myself today, fancy the boot slipper, all cosy for winter!

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I don't know why slippers for men have such an old git image. :)

Women can wear them at any age without being thought of as old biddies.

Wear those slippers with pride guys but, like has already been said, as long as they're not the type with the little heel and bobble of fluff on the toe a-la Elsie Tanner! :D

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

My husband wore slippers, leather ones that looked like slip-on shoes. My mum used to buy him a new pair every Christmas and he always put them on first thing in a morning when he went downstairs, in his dressing gown, to make a cup of tea.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

All my lads and hubby have worn slippers..

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

All I can say here gals is that you just imagine the celebrity of your dreams welcoming you at their door in carpet slippers .. sorta' bit off-putting innnit ?

Just comes one above trainers. :eek:

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

HAHAHA!!!have some karma x

Unless the celebrity of your dreams happens to be Alan Titchmarsh, I suppose. :rolleyes:

Why do slippers for men have such a fuddy duddy image? It's not fair really, is it? No-one says anything about a woman who wears slippers but when a man says he wears slippers, people start sniggering and making remarks about pipes and vests and dentures.:)

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I dunno' Lilly really .. just that well .. err .. errr. they just 'aint sexy, are they?
Probably because they are too sensible like.

Maybe the fashion industry ought to capitalize on this and create a range that are more appealing. We are like sheep after all, and if they push it enough we will follow.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

It would be kinda off putting if my fav female celeb dint come to the door wearing fishnets and sussies. Having said that I wouldn't say no if she fetched me egg an chips through on a tray for me tea wearing slippers :D ;)

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Bet you would sooner take the first option though ... :rolleyes:

Anyway, off thread ! Talking about men wearing slippers :p We women wear lovely slippers.

What's sussies ?

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Slippers are slippers whether for ladies or men, cant be trudgin round wearing outside shoes messing the carpets or whatever up. Plus, I think you know full well what sussies are when mentioned along with fishnets ;):D

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Suspenders, Katex. :)

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Well, nowt coming up here:-

Re: slippers, yes or no

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Mick has always worn slippers. If Will Mellor or any body else I fancy was to knock on my door wearing slippers. It wouldn't put me off Lilly.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

If somebody you fancied knocked on the door I am sure your eyes wouldn't be drawn to their feet. I'm sure mine wouldn't!!:D

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I have lovely velvet 'house shoes', with my monogram embroidered in gold on the front.:D

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Trust you Rindy to have the "posh" type lol

Mine at mo are shower shoes as I tend to pop out into the garden or shed for something and can't be bothered to change into shoes for the 10 sec I'm out

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Think last time I had a 'new' pair of slippers was when my Grandad died , and its not really polite to tell your Grandma 'no thanks' , usually have Birkenstocks on my bare feet when indoors :cool: :cool:

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

What are Birkenstocks?

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Re: slippers, yes or no

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Lezzer sandals........:D but they have become more trendy over the last 2 or 3 years.

Re: slippers, yes or no

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I'm not keen on men's sandals either, especially worn with socks. :rolleyes:

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

So if you forget your name, all you have to do is look down:D Sounds perfect for when you are imbibing.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Providing they have right and left in hyrogliphics printed on(feet marks) depicting how to wear them correctly:D

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Surely the important thing is that whatever slippers you choose to wear, they should always match your pyjamas. I have several pairs myself with the jim-jams to go with 'em.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I've got a couple of old pairs of Jim-Jams you can have if you want 'em. Just PM me.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Re: slippers, yes or no

Re: slippers, yes or no

Dressing gown NO
pyjamas NEVER
Slippers NOT ON YOUR NELLY!!

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Don't forget to post a photo of yourself in the slippers you would never wear.

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Can I just ask the non-slipper wearers, what do you wear in the house, say in the morning, before you get dressed, waiting for the kettle to boil?

Re: slippers, yes or no

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

Total thead wander, so appologies, but talking of Mrs Simpson and feet. She apparently learnt to do a trick with her feet, in a brothel in the Far East, and was the only person who could ever sexually satisfy His Royal Highness.

Nice to know he didn't give up the throne for nothing.:D

She was the only person who could sexually satisfy him or she was the only person who could sexually satisfy him using her feet? :eek:

Yes, this has got to be one of the best thread wanders in a long time....from slippers, to the abdication, to sexual tricks using your feet! :D

Re: slippers, yes or no
 

I think no matter who you are or whatever sex you are should wear slippers in the house, they are much more comfortable than shoes and they are so much cleaner.........must admit like Willow I only wear them when my feet are cold. :D
