Garage slippers - help
hopefully I'm not the only one.
I wear slippers. great things, keep my feet warm and mean I can nip outside without thinking about it. the downside is I get distracted and often find
I'm doing jobs in my slippers. little jobs like removing 25 sqm of rotten decking, or chopping branches off a tree.
so I'm thinking for christmas I should ask for some slippers with steel toecap and soles. realistically is their anything slipperish that would
protect my feet, keep them warm and be allowed in the house? .
if not, what do you do?

You're the only one 
Do you have a cap or pipe to complement them?
I still have most bits intact because I don't take my gardening slippers into the bedroom 
Slippers indoors, croccs are handy for halsfway , otherwise you need some nice hd trainers for boots for outdoors
You know it makes sense

I live in crocs, garage as well, but no good for welding or grinding,
plus if you drop ANYTHING, I try and remember to jump out of the way
otherwise I use old trainers in the garage

Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

How about something like this? (though nowhere near as cool as bunny slippers)

Get some clogs.
I found out something interesting about Crocs. The holes on the front are for your dignity to drain out from.

We all should dress for the occasion, but I have to admit slipping on twenty year old trainers (with no laces) to go to the shed. But slippers, come
on man, get a grip

Rigger boots.
They slip on and off like slippers. Fleece lined too. I do all my garage and garden work in them for the simple reason I can slip them off at the back
door or the threshold of the house/garage and keep all the mud, steel grindings and nasty sharp stuff outside. Aldi sell them fairly regularly and I
often pick a pair up for about ten quid when they reduce them. No brainer. No laces. On and off in seconds. Keep your feet warm too.

What about those new Lego slippers
Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

I find rigger boots a bit of faff, and tend to be used only when really needed. Better are dealer boots (mine from Aldi) and they really are simple.
Much easier to get your foot in and out of! Steel toecaps, decent soles. Mine were £8. Much better at resisting weld splat than my old running shoes.

I have to admit, crocs here too, doesn't matter if you get them wet, seem to last forever too, definately work well if you stub your toes as
they are spongey.
Mind you, a friend of mine always said " you see those holes in the top of the crocs, that's where your dignity falls out"
Give a man a fish & it will feed him for a day, give him a fishing rod & you've saved a fish.
