decodelighted Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,625 Last Post: 11/16/2009 Member Since: 7/27/2005	Fell down my basement steps last week ... luckily nothing was quite as bruised as my pride! But I've realized that my well-loved, very worn leather-bottomed house shearling slipper boots need to be replaced with something "grippier". I work at home mostly - so I spend a lot of time in comfy warm slippers. Wood floors + cold house = need for WARM SHOES. But I, a NEWLYWED, wish for something a little cuter than the elven suede furry ankle boots I'd BEEN wearing. Yet all the "cute" ones are low cut or SCUFFS which won't work for stairs. My ankles crave warmth. My tootsies crave style. My aching, bruised bones crave STABILITY & TREAD. Help me o' Pricescope Shopping goddesses! Any Cute/Warm/Indoor-Outdoor slipper tips you can share???

honeybee Rough Rock Total Posts: 80 Last Post: 10/12/2007 Member Since: 1/7/2006	Have you tried uggs? They are super comfy & warm, and have a variety of soles to choose from (ie soft foam or a firmer rubber). If you are looking for a more economical, but nearly just as good version, Costco recently started to carry their own version of uggs. Now I am normally more of a go w/ the name brand kinda girl, but these costco boots are awesome! (I have a few pairs of real uggs, and these are just as comfy & almost as durable). Both companies make them in a short boot (mid calf-ish height) and a tall boot (high calf height) and have a soft foam sole which is comfy inside and outside. I am absolutely addicted to uggs, I been wearing them since I was about 6, so, for sure before they were popular, and they are just the comfiest and warmest shoes you will ever wear. Also , I love walking around the house in a nightshirt and my tall uggs, I think its super cute, and for some reason so does my BF __________________________________ An ignorance of reality is not a freedom from it.

But those are my "fancy goin out" shoes. I have the tall black suede ones ... my brown pair was lost in a "shoe repair shop closed & took all the goods" fiasco. I checked out the UGGs slipper section last night & they're probably my best bet ... I'm so torn though cause the warm ones are fuglier than the less-warm, more low-cut ones that come in pretty colors. Hmmm.

I got a pair last year in purple and this year just ordered the sand...go for the uggs, who cares if you have an outdoor pair too ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

decodelighted Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,625 Last Post: 11/16/2009 Member Since: 7/27/2005	This is the UGG "Bella" ... which is kinda cute but not ankle warming. Easy to slip on & off .. not a backless scuff that's dangerous for stairs ... but not exactly sexy.

The Ugg "Crochet" ... avail in other colors too ... like cream or french blue ... same shearling footbed but kinda cosy & lighter than a full suede boot for around the house. And hmmmmm.... I COULD wear it out too ... and I don't have my Chocolate Uggs anymore ... hmmm.... . Whaddaya think Glam Squad?

We bought them when I went to Oz to visit TGuy a couple of years ago. They are so cheap over there! I'll see if I can find some things for you a bit later today. I actually have tons of work to do today, so I am afraid of what will happen when I start looking for ya...hehehehe. _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

Tacori E-ring Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,082 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 8/15/2005	Oh, are you okay? I fell down the stairs once (I was going down the stairs too quickly and not paying attention). It was horrible. I didn't break anything but was in pain for at least a week. I still remember the look on DH face. I made that loud of a sound tumbling down. Hopefully you are not as sore as I was. Good luck on your new slipper search!
