I want a new pair of soft leather slippers and have had Brooks Brothers in the past. They still make very nice leather slippers, but only in a blue color which I cannot abide. Church’s seems to have what I want but it seems they don’t ship to the US. Can anyone recommend something I can buy here? ---

L.L. Bean “Wicked Good” slippers. They really are. ---

I have some [Minnetonka moccasins](http://www.minnetonkamoccasin.com/), which I like a lot. [I think this is the type that I have had for a few years now.](http://www.minnetonkamoccasin.com/Products/Detail/twin-gore-sheepskin) ---

I like my Sperry shoes, and [they make a nice slipper](http://www.sperrytopsider.com/store/SiteController/sperry/mensrrmocslipper/7-137020/stockNumber/10282178/skuId/ ***7******* 10282178*M120/showDefaultOption/true/searched/true/productdetails?searchText=slipper&searched=true). They have a soft rubber sole on them, so if you need to step outside for something, they won’t get ruined. Most nicer shoe stores will carry them, but they also offer free shipping. ---

I have some UGG slippers which I have been wearing for about two years now. They’re the only slippers I’ve owned that have lasted this long. But they cost about $100. ---

Those are some Lincoln Bedroom / sleepover at Buckingham Palace kind of slippers! You don’t want to check the mailbox for Christmas cards in Cleveland or Philly with those on! ---

**Rhiannon** , they used to be available in brown and burgundy, but no longer. **Lukeinva** , those are “dancing slippers”–for black tie events. **Suburban Plankton** , that’s more like it, thank you. ---

> [@Lukeinva](#): > > [How about these?](http://www.deltoroshoes.com/shop/men/slipper/men-s-black-patent-leather-slipper.html) I think those are dance slippers. For balls or cotillions. ooops, sorry, didn’t see TSBG’s post above ---
