I am looking for a pair of warm slippers for the cold nights ahead.
Does anyone on here have some they really like.

Could be shearling lined or otherwise, just need some good recommendations.

Thanks

Just a basic Dearfoams gal here! I get mules which might have a faux trim.

I get such a kick out of your writing style, Frank! :-) It was just the ticket for today, which happens to be windy as all get-out, cold, and every joint and bone in my body is protesting quite loudly! I'm pretty crippled today. I just wish the barometric pressure would sit still for a moment or two! It wouldn't be a cure all, but it would definitely help! I've spent the majority of this morning hibernating, and searching online, using the The Orchid Mall listings, and I actually came up with a few sellers who have Bl. Richard Mueller crosses! I found about 4 or 5 different crosses... I was impressed! Well... you can always do what I did... I filled the window sill, then expanded the sill, then put in 2 large shelving units on either side of the alcove, added a couple of tall plant stands and tables, and then installed supplemental lighting to help out through winter! Yes, it's stuffed to the gills with plant material, but I love it! Anyone driving by would think I'm lit up for airport night ops, the lights are so bright! I run them a total of about 16 or 18 hours a day. Broke is my middle name... so I can only spend a few dollars here, or a few dollars there on plant material... and sometimes no dollars. If I save my pennies over winter, I will have enough by spring to get a few orchids. I've got a change jar... it's kinda empty at the moment. ;-) We're what you'd call 'in a low income bracket', but money doesn't buy happiness, so climbing that ladder of ambitious greed never did it for me. I accomplished what I set out to accomplish in life, and that's what's important to me. Of course, it does put a bit of a damper on my plant collecting, but I get there... a little at a time. :-) I've purchased from Edens Blooms before... they offer some unusual bulbed items from time to time, and I've always been happy with my purchases. The other places you mention I haven't heard of... but I'm off to check them out! The 2 Clivia plants I have were gifts... they're the more common orange and a yellow... both very nice! I was gifted with some pink Zephyranthes, and they grew so nicely that I opted to get some other colors. I'm waiting for some white one to flower, and I have a few other types in pinks and a yellow. I'm not sure any plant is worth $600 dollars of beautiful! The way I figure it, you can get a whole lot of lovely for about $25 to $30... which seems fair to me. If I spend $600 on anything, it better come with a lot of options and a remote control! ;-) Since getting into the old fashioned rose business, I've not been able to make up my mind as to a favorite flower color. Between everything we grow here, there are so many wonderful shapes, textures, colors, scents and everything else... who can make up their mind?! There are a few varieties that stand out in my mind as having all the qualities I admire in a rose... but they're different colors. I would have to say that green blooms and coffee colored blooms are more eye catching... but anything in bloom is beautiful! Well... here's me going off to surf for orchids... thanks for the suggestions, Frank! You know... you could always start out slow... allow yourself one nice orchid. Then hold off until next year for a second... hey, it might work! It depends how disciplined you are, and how many dollars you can afford to spend! ;-) Enjoy your afternoon!

Mike B, it could be safe to zone 6, but if you do decide to put it outside, make sure that it's in a wind protected spot - and, maybe wrap it in burlap, and mulch well the roots before the frost hits. I know what you mean - most of the plants I've bought have been tiny. I personally don't mind this since I'm so space deprived. All the citris I've bought, I've been contemplating bonsai'ing to keep them to smaller pots, and fitted to my window space. congratulations on the keffir lime though. I think I saw one of those at Meyer Mike's and it has the nicest smelling leaves when you sacrifice one and sniff at it. The variegated gardenia - mine's still not bloomed and I bought it with a bud. It's a complete tease. I held off transplanting it into a better pot because of that bud - and yet, still ... small pot - no action. that small pot it's in means I have to water it every 3 days. If you haven't picked up the African gardenia - that should be your next splurge. It's blooming weekly. this month - new buds every few days. and voila! they open. And, the smell on one flower is light - but as more open - last night I came home and the scent in my apartment was really intoxicating. Next time we plan a Logees trip, you should join us there. :) A good time was had by all. :) -Rose

Graywings--yes, the $45 one is exactly the one I have. it's not 'vintage'--I bought it new about 20 years ago--at an outlet center. For FIVE $$$$. No, not afraid of it leaking. It seals well. I did have the gasket replaced on it a few years ago, to be on the safe side, but as I said, I've been using it for decades with no problem. I usually use mine when I'm sitting doing something like reading, watching TV. Don't take it to bed with me. We've got apillow top mattress--those things are like furnaces, once I'm in bed, I'm generally too warm no matter what the temp.

I bought my husband a pair of LLB shearling lined leather slippers years ago and they are still great. He'll wear them to the grocery store once in a while, and all day on the weekend sometimes. He puts them on first thing every single morning and still mentions how much he likes them.

Haflinger! My favorites. If we go to our neighbor's house to watch a game on TV or something, I'll even wear them down the street. They're pricey but they last forever.

Wicked good are pretty good, but I prefer the keen howser slipper. They retail for like 70, but I often find them cheaper (50-60% off) through altrec.com or backcountry.com or sierratradingpost.com

North face also makes a great down bootie billed as camp slipper
(awesome for winter ski camping in the backcountry) however, I really enjoy them in the enter at our vacation house too.

I love boiled wool slippers - the acorns and haflingers mentioned above. I have keens too. The sole on the keens is substantial so for me they are better for running around the house and not as good for hunkering down on the couch.

OK, that gives me many choices. Thank you all for your input.
Now I am off to look all these up.
Thanks again

I have the Wicked Good slippers. They're very warm and comfy, but don't provide any support or grip and tend to slip around a bit on my feet. Definitely best used when snuggling in and not when trying to do things around the house.

Ooh, I am going to look into those halflingers. I have wanted wool slippers for a while for the breathability. I find that fleece lined houseshoes can get too hot, especially when I am too close to the woodstove.

I love the wool Haflingers. Unfortunately my big toe alwaya pokes thru the top of each one within a season. I mend them several times and then finally throw them out. They are too expensive for that so I have begun buying the fake fleece lined suede or faux suede clog slippers at Target. From one end of the price spectrum to the other! But they are very durable, warm and comfy. By the way I love that the Haflinger wool slippers can be tossed into the washer.

Another loyal Haflinger fan here. I have been wearing them for decades. I buy the slip ons with the outdoor soles. I wash them in the washing machine and air dry them. Their arch support is wonderful.

This is my favorite style. Don't buy big as the boiled wool stretches between washes. Generally a size 37, I buy a 36.

I am surprised that noone mentioned the ugg sheepskin lined slippers.
Is this just a trend for teenagers or are they worth the money.

Oops. Somehow wandered over to conversations by accident. I don't think I've ever noticed it before. Interesting stuff! I wanted to pipe in to tout the Uggs.

I'm not really the slipper kind, but we moved to the country and sand burrs seem to find their way even into the house (this probably says more about my housekeeping standards than I should confess). Bought a pair of the Uggs to avoid painful surprises. I think the style was called Coquette. LOVE them! So cozy and comfortable. And relatively cute ... for slippers.

Got them last Christmas and they're still in great shape. The fleece lining is holding up well. I'm definitely not a teenager, alas! And I definitely think they were worth every cent.

Uggs - love them. Run a size smaller than you regularly wear!

My DH was from Minnesota and always wore MukLuks. Said they were the warmest slippers he ever put his feet in. I always wear Dearfoams, but I don't have snow to walk thru.

My hubby got me some Minnetonka moccasins slippers, shearling lined, last year for Christmas and I love them! I live in the South, but I'm very cold natured. They are toasty and easy to slip on.

Uggs . . . and proven fantastic just last week! Our under the floor radiant heat went out and we were without any heat except solar gain and our 4 fireplaces until the repair guy could come out 7 days later. Living here in the mountains at 6,000 feet above sea level, with all brick floors, those floors got VERY cold! But, our Ugg slippers were a godsend. They, thankfully, kept our feet warm . . . which helped immensely to keep the rest of us warm, too (LOL).
But, I do like the idea of Goldie's washable slippers and am going to definitely check them out .
