Hi,
I always need to move outside my home to run errands. I live in a small town and I meet people on the street. I don't know what to wear. I want something comfortable, practical, efficient, timeless, and good-looking at the same time. I want something comfortable enough to wear at home and good-looking enough to wear on the street. Also, it will be a bonus to be timeless enough to not ask this question again.
A jogger and a solid hoodie are okay for me.
what to wear on my feet? Is it okay to wear slippers? I need something that I can easily wear and take off and it will look good on the jogger. shoes with lace will not be practical. can I wear shoes without lace with a jogger? which type of shoes should I go with? boat shoes? is it timeless or trendy?

That bell you just heard means that recess time is over - back to your third grade class!

 

Maybe boat shoes would work. They are certainly easy enough to find online and otherwise...

Any slip on.

• Camp mocs
• Boat shoes
• Driving Shoes
• Suede Penny Loafers

 

ALLBIRDS. Inexpensive, efficient. First noticed them, last week in a clothing forum like this one. Had to check 'em out. They are made up of Merino wool (body) Castor beans (orthodontic insole) Polyethylene (shoelaces/sole), so they are very eco conscious - for those so inclined. Come in a variety of colors. I am wearing a pair now, they are comfy. Good for around the house and much more. Seem to be built as a running shoe. I did say inexpensive (prob their best quality).

No, it’s not okay to wear slippers while running errands. I mean, it’s legal but tacky. So don’t do it. Outside, wear boat shoes or any of the other types of footwear that have been suggested in this thread thus far.

By the way, you shouldn’t wear the same shoes in your house that you wear outside your house. Keep your house clean by keeping two sets of shoes. Inside your house, wear slippers or just socks. Seconds before you walk out the door to run errands or to do anything else, change into your “out of the house” shoes, whatever they may be. As soon as you get home, remove those shoes and put your slippers back on (or don’t wear any shoes). Go Asian—don’t track dirt into your home.

 

I vote for driving shoes! NO slippers in public!

 

Driving shoes were my first thought. Second choice would be boat shoes.

 

I'll admit I do wear my indoor-outdoor slippers as far as the curb to take out the garbage, but I think I'll stop that practice because of what the tread of the slippers pick up.

 

I wear my slippers in my house, will never wear them when shopping on the avenue.

 

With joggers? Doesn’t matter what you wear on your feet, you’ve already lost it.

Unless you’re jogging, in which case wear jogging shoes.

 

Unless we are talking velvet slippers to the opera, I would say no. I can't imagine that changing shoes can be that much of a bother. If I am also reading right, you are also limiting yourself to the clothes you have to pair the footwear with as well, which is super casual/sport, so perhaps maybe think about upgrading that as well. Just a thought

 

It's been a week since you posted, and members have responded to help you. No sign of appreciation, no updates. You're welcome?

 

I love wearing slippers; they’re fine to wear in public you just have to make sure they look good like maybe some velvet slippers

 

Are you just a complete moron?

 

There are plenty of options, many already listed here. You can also consider espadrilles or slip on sneakers like Vans or Toms. Slippers just look sloppy, lazy and thoughtless.

 

Just curious - are you familiar with AI?

 

Last time I worn slippers was to mail a letter around the corner from my house.

 

Boy, we really are "by the book", aren't we? I bet at night, just before bedtime, you place your slippers on the bedroom floor, neatly inline with your bedframe.

 

I think wearing them in public it is but if you feel comfortable wearing them, it's OK.

 

As Ferris Bueller queried, "Are you still there?"

I wear slippers many evenings, but I stay on the porch, in the dark, while the dog is off in the yard doing what dogs do in the yard. My slippers simply were not meant for the great beyond. As to the original question, if you are 28 and wear a jogger and a solid hoodie, not wishing to have to deal with laces, check out Sanuks or Vans, neither of which qualify as timeless menswear but either of which will match the hoodie vibe.

 

while the dog is off in the yard doing what dogs do in the yard

😅😅😅🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺

 

Just a reminder that the OP posted twice on consecutive days over a year ago - two different troll-type questions - and has never responded to any of the answers he received.

 

Yep, hence my Bueller reference, a thinly veiled reference to ghosting.

 

To address the OPs question , IMO yes it is tacky. 🎤 drop.
Edit: Have I seen it, absolutely and worse.

 

It feels lazy to wear slippers, what happens if you accidentally fall on the ground?

 

There appears to be some overly critical respondents here. Consider these observations: They seem to have low self-esteem. They have issues with insecurity. They have a sense of superiority. And, probably have a history of receiving criticisms in childhood. If you don't have anything nice to say (in a positive way) don't say anything at all. A lesson we learn in kindergarten.

 

Withdrawn

The comment pertained to the post just above and even though the concluding line doesn't gel with what went before, it doesn't need a pile on.

Welcome to the forum, Dear New Member, where often is heard a discouraging word and who cares if the skies are not cloudy all day as long as our cuffs really button.

 

The problem with slippers, if you fall then you will fall but with sneakers at least you have a bit of protection.

 

The line between indoor and outdoor slippers is not clear with some models or manufacturers. About functionality, some models of slippers, classic hemp espadrilles and driving shoes do pretty much the same job. Between "gala" slippers and some models of home slippers I really see no difference. If you look good and feel good just do it. Probably the downside of using slippers out in the street is that depending on the model and fabric they may look puffy and or may get stain and dirt easily.

 

I do see a lot of people these days wearing slippers as an alternative to sneakers maybe because they're a bit more comfortable wearing them compared to wearing sneakers.

 

When I wear them in public, most often at professional gatherings, I ensure they’re paired with a coordinating or appropriately contrasting robe.

 

I wouldn't trade lives with most people...but I'd give serious thought when it comes to Hef...😅

If I was in Hef's position I wouldn't leave the mansion nor the women either.
