My cheapy mule type slippers (matalan, £1.99, so you get the quality lol) have completely gone to pieces.  Next week new Guide Dog pup arrives, and with that, lots of visits in and out of the back door for wees :D 

Can anyone recommend a decent pair of slippers that I can wear in the house, but wont get my feet all damp, when Im standing out on the patio or having a wander down the garden.  I REALLY dont like crocs, but dont mind mule types.  Nothing too fuddy duddy, I have a teenage son, and he will never forgive me!

Thankyou :)

I have some coolers from ebay about £10.00 slip on with hard soles they have lasted me about a year worn everyday. I have just put my toe through the top !

Try fly flot slippers - I like you like to wear slippers that can be worn indoors and out and can be washed.  I was fed up with buying cheap or in some cases not so cheap slippers that when worn outside and needed to be washed just fell apart.

These slippers are not cheap about £10/£15 a pair but I have had mine for about 6 months, washed them loads of times and they are still as good as new.  I have recently bought another pair they are so good.

I dont know how to post links on here but try visiting www.shoe-shop.com

Lots here

i wear crocs as slippers have a fleecy pair for the winter, but i have had them for over 3 years now and they still look good

I was looking through  'hotters' catalogue yesterday and was really impressed.

Yes, same for me - so comfy....

I have a pair of those shoes that are like cut off wellies sat by the back door for this very purpose. Otherwise I would be out and about in my slippers. Lost many a pair to paddling outside in them.

For those thinking about using shoe-shop.com they are offering free delivery this week.

Ive just ordered a pair of black (wont show every bit of dust/dirt) fly flot slipper mules from that site listed above.

Thankyou so much, they look like they have soles suitable for one of the many trips out into the garden Im going to be making ;)

Hope you enjoy them Im sure your feet will :-)

ok guys you have convinced me to try some flyflots,,, but which ones atm I am looking at papillon,sunflower or cheetah any opinions. I need comfy cosy in and outdoors and i wear them loads. I seem to have missed the free delivery unfortnately

I have a pair of papillon but am saving for some cheetah.  The papillon have a really good solid sole and I wear mine inside and out.  They are so comfy I once forgot I had them on and ended up wearing them round asda :-)

Ive just got my Fly Flots today, I bought 'Mary' from their slippers range in black as I thought it would hide any dirty scuff marks.  Im absolutely thrilled with them and their size 6 comes up perfectly.

Observations are, considering they are slippers, they do feel a bit more like shoes, their insides arent as soft as I thought, its a bit like tough wearing felt, if that makes any sense.  Their soles have a lot of give, so they are VERY comfortable. If youve had Birkenstocks which have a shaped sole to fit your foot, they are a bit like that, but are soft rather than cork so you dont catch the edges on your heel like you can with the birkenstocks. Their width is good, and Ive even got an adjustable buckle on mine. The fabric is quite tough, a bit like a fabric suede and quite stiff, but they are comfy enough. They seem to be extremely well made, no glue visible or rough bits, and the stitching seems good quality. Im sooo pleased with them.

Ive already worn mine to drive in!!

The fabric does soften with wear and im so pleased you are pleased with them - I think I might have to contact the shoe-shop.com for some commission as others have now bought shoes from them too :-)
