Does anyone have house shoes?

[pantsparty]

For a few hours each week, I am standing on our wood floor in the kitchen for weekly/dinner prep and it hurts my feet and back.

I was wondering if anyone has somewhat comfy shoes (not athletic) shoes they wear for light cushioning/support.

I don't hate Minnetonkas (there are yellow and orange suede versions I like), but I am constantly dropping things in the kitchen, so I'm sure the fabric would be ruined eventually.

No Toms recs, please. Also not interested in those padded kitchen mats.

Could you get a pair of slippers that have a firmer bottom? I have a pair of minnetonkas, but maybe check lands end or llbean?

[rachers]

I do not but I'm interested in seeing your responses. Our floors are stained concrete and sometimes socks just don't do the trick.

would you consider crocs? aren't they made for walking/ standing?

[iamali]

Yep, I keep them with my house coat and driving gloves.

I have a pair of Havaianas that I wear only in the house.

They are my house shoes.

But I do not think these would serve your needs.

Cue "But these Crocs are cute and don't even look like Crocs!" claims.

[pantsparty]

I want these! Aren't they cute? Maybe I can just spray generously with a suede protector. What am I, 3 years behind the trend?

I wear slippers every night, but mainly for warmth.

[redheadk]

I wear a pair of cushy flip flops during warm weather and Ugg slippers (after I got tired of buying a new pair of Minnetonkas every year) when it's cold.

I have a pair of sorel slippers. I'm in the kitchen for hours and my heels bruise from standing for so long on the hard floor.

[aprilsails]

I have a pair of Dr. Scholl's gel soles shoes. They are styled to look like Converse sneakers.

I really love them but they are a bit odd.

The ones I have are basically an older model of this but with dark gray canvas and an orange stripe. They might not fit your 'runners' qualification:

Those would probably be good for the summer. Soon it will be in the low 80s out here, so clearly I need winter shoes, too.

I have very sexy orthopedic slippers.

I wear my Fitflops when I'm going to be doing a lot of standing in the kitchen because we have tile and it kills my back.

My H has house shoes - he wears Sanuks.

I was actually thinking of getting furry Rainbow Sandals for indoors when it gets cooler.  Maybe we can both do this.  LOL.

I wear slippers with a rubber bottom. I think I bought them at Target.

I just wear a real thick pair of flip flops.

I have sort of the same problem from just being up and down so much with the baby (and wearing flip flops too often for errands). I'm considering getting Fit Flops. The toning claims are ridic, but they have good arch support and are easy to slip on/off.

The gel mats really are awesome though. Dinner prep is the one time my feet don't hurt. I wish I could make house shoes out of those mats.

These are called slippers.

Have you worn them? They look so clunky!

Me too. They may be ugly, but they make my feet feel fantastic.

[berbles]

I have slippers like this, that I love because I can wear them outside



But when it's warm I just wear flip flops.

[zoomzoom]

Supportive flip flops or extra fluffy slippers.

I have some orthaheel slippers that I love and make my feet not hurt

[lilles]

I have a pair of hideaous pink Crocs that I wear around the house. I have plantar fasciitis and they are the only shoes that don't hurt my feet when walking on wooden floors. You won't see me wearing them outside the house though.
