I like to point to Idiocracy (a movie you couldn’t make today but I saw for the first time in 2024; I think it was good) which Crocs are used as shoes for the future because they were not widely available and the costume designer said “There's no way people will wear them.”
I stand vindicated that Crocs are idiotic.
Fuck brands... But as far as the general concept of a durable, washable house slipper goes, they are great. Also wear low cut socks.
If you're in your house then why are you wearing shoes? Just wear socks or go barefoot. Maybe they're useful if you need to step outside for a minute to take out the trash when it's cold outside. In my experience, regular slippers tend to fall apart if you wear them outside
Well, I have pets who drag toys into walkways where it's easy to step on. I also have atypical proportions and it's a challenge not to accidentally kick a table or chair leg dodging said pets or their toys.
Furthermore, I don't want to make people look at my feet and just socks wears down the socks/can be slippery. Socks also don't shield my feet from spills or things being dropped on them.
Makes sense. They're still not for me but, from that perspective, I can see why someone might like them
You can get socks with rubber bits on the bottom to help with the slippery part, but that would not help with the rest.
Cold hard floors?
Plantar fasciitis - I can't even make it across a room barefoot without severe pain, so I wear slippers with orthotic inserts at home. That being said, I would amputate my own feet before wearing crocs.
Dog slobber. We have two dogs. One loves to take a big mouthful of water and run up to my wife and me with it, splashing drool water everywhere on the way. The other has recently learned this trick from him and now we have double dog drool. We don't go barefoot much anymore.
Not everyone has underfloor heating
