I recently decided that being cooped up indoors and constantly going barefoot or only be-socked was making me feel less civilized. I purchased some cheap driving mocs for indoor-only wear, and I find myself feeling much more psychologically sound when wearing them for some reason. I think it has something to do with feeling like I'm preparing fully for the day.

I would imagine Albert slippers or something equivalent would confer similar benefits.

I can see a case for that.

We have a rule in our house that everyone gets up by 8am (I'm usually up by 6, enough time to read the paper uninterrupted), does their morning whatever, and gets dressed in actual clothes. No shoes in the house, though (we take a lot of walks, so we get our shoe-time in that way?)

I bought a pair of driving mocs to be used as slippers last week. Not so much to feel civilized, but because the work and dining areas are hardwood floor or tiles and with temperatures barely above freezing it was getting a bit cold.
I wanted something with 'silent' soles as I walk around a lot when I think and proper soles would be too noisy. Also wanted something a bit stylish, so no fluffy bunnies...

When indoors, I tend to live in LLBean sheepskin lined mocs. They have rubber soles so I can sneak outside for a few minutes without them soaking through and have enough traction that I don't slip around on my polished hardwood floors. I probably ought to get another pair so I can alternate . . .

I have used driving mocs as my "house slippers" for decades now for all the good reasons noted above such as they are comfortable and the nubby rubber prevents slipping but is also quiet. Additionally, living in an apartment building, I regularly have to pop down for mail or laundry or something and like that they look like acceptable shoes and not bedroom slippers. A pair used to last me half a decade or more, but now that I work from home, I've been wearing them out about every three or so years.

My need for appropriate house shoes/slippers is satisfied through the rotation of several different designs, to include Aurlander Camp Mocs, Albert Slippers, used and abused Deck Shoes, Cloth Espadrilles and even a couple of pair of Birkenstocks! Life is good...and comfy.
