House shoes AKA slippers
Hey Guys,
I'm looking for some heavy duty slippers for the Team Daddy, I've heard him piss and moan about how he had to run outside barefoot to take care of such and such. So I want to get him a pair of house slippers for Christmas, but I want them to be bomb proof.
Any ideas?

I wanted something that had a little fuzzy warmth and water proof for walks. These are not hardcore hikers, but should fit your requirement??

Screw Chance's Team Daddy; I need a pair of those!
Chance - Thanks for bringing this up, now I have some Googling to do.

House slippers
I wear a pair of North Face slippers that are great. There not water proof or made to withstand the outdoors; but thats exactly what I use them for and have had no issues with them.
I use them to take my dogs out in the morning, camping trips.... When they start to get dirty I throw then into the wash and they come out brand new. Still going strong after four+ years.

If he were really brave, he'd just go out in his bear feet.

Crocs
The reason I say unlined, everyday rubber (whatever they are) crocs is because they are pretty much an all rounder.
I used to keep a pair of house shoes at the bottom of the steps, slip them on as I came down in the morning. I would wear them until I got dressed.
Getting the paper, taking the trash and recycle to the street and checking the rain gage were all done in the house shoes.
A few times getting too close to water puddles and I switched over to crocs.
Keep your toes warm in winter, don't notice in the summer and could wear them to the store.
Get too fancy and you defeat the purpose of a slip on knock-about.

I use Crocs around the house the same way as Pete describes above.
I have worn out two pair. I buy the cheapest original Crocs I can find.
Have slipped a third pair on now after shoveling snow and left the boots in garage.
Keep a pair in the truck for after a hike or around camp.
Work in the heat, wet, can rinse them off with ease.
IMO, Crocs are a great all around - not fancy - slip-on knock-about as Pete calls them.
ETA one negative is that Crocs can be very slippery on some wet tile floors. Have almost taken a tumble when in a grocery store.
