The Off Duty Slippers

My old flat shoes were completely ruined, my bare feet were freezing on our chilly London floorboards, and my home office background looked incredibly drab on video calls. I usually wear a 8 in most brands, and grabbing this black little number made me feel slightly guilty about spending money just for lounging around the house. The criss-cross strap design actually looks quite chic sitting by my desk or caught in the background of a quick social media snap. They did leave a few bits of dark fluff on the rug at first because the faux fur upper sheds slightly during the first week. The soft textile lining inside the footbed has held up surprisingly well after nine months of daily wear. I have tossed them into the washing machine exactly four times on a delicate cycle and let them air dry by the radiator.

The grip on my wooden floors is surprisingly solid when I shuffle to the kitchen. I was doubtful they'd hold up when I got them 10 months ago in Perth, but they make me feel put-together making my morning coffee. Last Saturday I spilt a bit of milk on the black faux fur, and it wiped clean immediately. The open toe silhouette is nicely breathable, and the CN38-39 (AU7-8) sizing makes for an easy slip-on.

The simple plastic mailing bag arrived slightly scuffed on the outside, but the slippers inside were perfectly pristine and fluffy. I originally packed these white cross-strap slippers in my hospital bag for my scheduled C-section here in Newcastle because I wanted something easy to slide onto my swollen feet without bending down. The open toe silhouette makes them incredibly breathable and simple to slip on and off when I am holding the baby. I used to feel quite guilty about spending any money at all on everyday self-care items that just get worn around the house, but for less than £15 these completely cured my insecurity about my domestic life not looking enough for photos when I snap pictures of the baby playing on the carpet. They grip brilliantly whether I am walking across the cold kitchen tile, the hallway hardwood, or the bedroom rugs. Seeing the bright faux fur against the indoor floor actually makes the long night feeds feel a tiny bit less miserable.

Grab a pair of these immediately if you have freezing floors. I'm 5'2", 140lbs, and got the 16 because my kitchen tiles in Derby are absolutely brutal in the mornings. The black faux fur criss-cross straps still grip perfectly after 9 months, though the little 3D design got slightly flattened. Will I ever survive winter mornings without them? Not a chance.".

These grey open toe slippers are perfectly breathable.

The grey faux fur upper feels incredibly soft.

These beige criss-cross straps look so cute when I snap a pic of my morning coffee on the rug. After standing in front of primary school kids all day in Mackay, it is brilliant to just slide right into these without bending down. The flat foam base is exactly what I need. I did drop a bit of jam on one lol. Definitely grabbing the grey pair next!

These are honestly better than expensive designer brands. The non-slip rubber outsole with its anti-skid texture provides brilliant grip on my smooth wooden hallway floors.

The incredibly soft plush feels exactly like stepping on a warm cloud. I gifted these to mum, and the criss-cross strap upper design grips her feet safely on slippery tiles.

Who doesn't love cosying up at home looking rich on a budget? These beige slippers have a great lightweight construction, but they shed fluff terribly on dark floors initially. I thought the soft textile lining inside the footbed was brilliant I realised the top decorations are far too bulky and rigid. They really do give off a fancy around our Sunshine Coast flat 💖. I'll probably just wear my old ones when nobody is visiting though.

After bath, plush feel very soft against damp skin. But non-slip rubber outsole with anti-skid texture is too heavy for walk in Manchester flat. Maybe suit other person better.

The black colour shows up surprisingly well on camera for my morning vlogs instead of looking like a dark blur. I was skeptical the criss-cross strap design would stay on my feet while walking around our Surfers Paradise apartment. The grip handles the shift from tile to carpet perfectly even after 5 months of daily wear. One of the faux fur straps took exactly 2 days to fluff up completely.

The puffy 3D cross straps on these slippers look incredibly chic sitting by the door of my new solo studio apartment in Canberra. I used to feel miserable working long shifts and returning to cold floors while stressing that my space was not enough, but stepping onto this flat EVA midsole makes my evenings feel properly. I felt guilty spending money on everyday self-care items wait no I realise now that treating myself is actually essential for my confidence. The dusty pink plush upper did shed quite a bit during the first week, though seeing the other beautiful colourways available makes me want to grab a grey pair anyway. Having these for nearly ten months has completely changed how I view living alone. Anyone who needs a little boost of glamour while padding around a chilly flat will enjoy having a pair of these.

I work 8 hours standing daily. Last Saturday, the breathable open toe silhouette made them incredibly easy to slip on and off between tasks. Brilliant value for £10 🔥.

The grey non slip rubber soles feel secure.

Just to be clear I am a real person writing this and not a bot. Working from home in Glasgow on freezing tiles had me feeling quite miserable lately so I finally bought these blush pink ones. I usually wear a size 5 but ordered a 6 and they fit perfectly. The fuzzy criss-cross straps look so nice in the indoor photos I took for my insta making my boring flat look a bit more. They are super easy to slip on and off when the postie knocks. The faux fur shed a tiny bit for the first 2 days but stopped after that. I packed them for a staycation at a boutique hotel this weekend because they match my favourite pyjamas. The open toe silhouette stops my feet getting too hot at my desk.

Super cozy!

They held up perfectly after their first trip through the washing machine, which is a relief since my new home pottery hobby means I drop clay everywhere. The non-slip rubber outsole with its anti-skid texture is brilliant for walking down my chilly concrete apartment hallway. My neighbour saw the beige faux fur yesterday and asked if they were from a fancy boutique because the lightweight construction looks so elegant. The tiny tag sewn into the side is surprisingly silky.

Trying to match the pastel coquette meant finding these fluffy pink slippers as a gift for our luxury glamping trip in a Leeds canvas bell tent. The faux fur crisscross straps look lovely indoors, and the flat foam midsole gives nice cushioning. Just note the sizing is incredibly tiny compared to standard AU shoes, so definitely size up! I bought these seven months ago, and with multiple colourways available, I might grab a grey pair for my workmate Elspeth.

The grey cross straps feel super fluffy! ☀️

The grey plush faux fur feels incredibly soft.

I honestly cannot believe these only cost me a few dollars. Working from home in Melbourne means freezing floors, and I was feeling so miserable dragging myself out of bed before filming my morning routine vlogs. The beige colour and that braided faux fur look so cute in my bedroom videos now, fixing my insecurity about my space looking too boring for social media. I grabbed the CN38-39 size which fits my AU8 feet perfectly. The open toe silhouette is great because my feet stay breathable while I am rushing around setting up the ring light. I usually feel guilty spending money just to make myself feel pampered, but the plush upper material makes them so easy to slip on and off. The little care tag inside is actually bright pink.
