Are there any slippers that a young man can wear with style?

CJ: I do like the look of those cluggs, much as I've always hated uggs.

Tracer: If you can get my Dad to wear that makeup, I will be impressed.

My ex boyfriend used to wear slippers like these, but brown:

(I thoroughly approve of slippers, BTW. I have LL Bean sleep shippers. They are toasty comfy, I'd wear them all the time, even outside, if they had better soles. They're kind of rubber, so I can just about put out the rubbish in them, but wouldn't wear them properly walking.)

I have very steep stairs in my house, and the stair treads are particularly narrow, making them incompatible with the wearing of most slippers esp big novelty ones such as those which Kate has posted as, while they look really cool, they'd be too dangerous. I could see myself going base-over-apex all the way down the stairs if I tripped while wearing those.

Narrow steep stairs + big slippers + my general state of sleepyheaded clumsiness = a broken neck for sure

I don't wear big novelty slippers! That was my ex!

I wear ones like these (lower left hand corner) now. Very comfy. And with rubber soles for going down stairs. (And if you feel like going climbing about on television transmitters.)

They're nice! They're like a suede-y version of those jaunty deck shoes you wear on board yachts.

Yes! Except the jaunty strings keep coming untied, and I trip over those.

And there you were, trying to convince me the'd be safe to wear on my steep stairs .....

"I can't wait till you get home, baby"

"Whys that"

"I'm rockin it fuck style for ya, sugar"

"What?"

"I got M&S slippers on, all the way"

bahahahaha

[...] to be able to wear something so incredibly dowdy [...] like handicapping a racehorse, fleece-lined scuffs advertise my volcanic baseline hottness.

The same applies to my general slovenliness, feral-slut hair, disinclination to change my clothes, wear makeup or give a shit in any way.

I unconditionally endorse this stance.
