House slippers

What do you guys buy / wear for house slippers ?
Do you have the same standards as you do boots & shoes or do you just buy cheap stuff ?

I personally like Footwear by Footskins , they're handmade in Minnesota and in my experience are good quality for the money.
My shearling sheepskin slippers were only about $100 a few years ago and have been great.
I bought my dad a pair of their canoe sole moccasins in the Sequoia color this past Christmas and was I quite impressed.

I was so impressed that I ended up ordering myself a pair a couple weeks ago that were made to order and have just shipped today.
I love my sheepskin slippers, but the leather on these gave me much more of that nice boot leather impression/ experience.

A couple weeks ago I noticed that my little toes had begun wearing a bald spot into the shearling inside because I didn't size up to allow for socks, so I decided to order myself a pair of the canoe sole moccasins which were made to order and have just shipped today.
I expect these to last me many many years to come.
For me a pair of suede leather moccs, pretty beat up though now, had them years haha

For me it's basically just thick socks, although I have a pair of Tod's drivers which make good house shoes (and office shoes) and I wear them sometimes. I have a pair of Church's velvet Albert slippers but they're a bit clunky in our small, mostly carpeted house would probably be best for someplace with stone floors etc which I suppose is the sort of residential environment in which they originated.

We don't have carpet here in Spain, it's mostly ceramic or wooden floors for the coolness, Moroccan Babucha are popular here, I've had a couple of pairs, very comfortable

I have a pair of oversized sneakers I only wear in the house, but before that, it was a pair of moccasins that I now use at camp after a long day of backpacking. I miss the days when you could have a pair of handmade, double soles made for a reasonable price. Maybe I should start looking for a pattern so I can take a stab at making my own.
