    crocs start cold but warm up fairly quick then stay nice n warm. great things for me are they are easy on/off, warmth and are waterproof too. also fairly non slip. as ive wide feet they are also very comfortable for me. i always get the ones with a back on tho. not good with backless flip flop type shoes or slippers.

    Yeah sure, mate, whatever works. I just prefer something soft and warm to sink my feet into, not hard plastic, which doesn't 'give', (I don't find it comfy) and that's why I love me furry-lined moccies!

    During the winter, both Del and I like to feel all wrapped up, warm and cosy indoors, so big fluffy dressing gowns, and for Del jim-jams and cuddling her furry cat hot-water bottle, are the order of the day. so we can cosy up together in front of the fire on cold nights.

    In that respect, the thought of wearing 'stiff and starchy' outdoor clothes indoors, like Marty-boy does (and trainers), would be an anathema!

    Mind you, my dad's the same, in that respect. He gets fully dressed as soon as he's up and stays that way until he goes to bed.

    Lol - maybe it's a generational thing then? As soon as I get in, I like to strip off into something as loose and comfy as possible, and for me, nothing is comfier than a big fluffy dressing gown, with hee-haw underneath!

    Somebody is trying to cheer us up. As I write the bagpipes are playing "Amazing Grace" down our street,

    Lovely song and tune. My Dad's favourite.

    I just wear trackies and a sweatshirt, not exactly stiff and starchy. And trainers are comfortable and light-weight. Might put a fleece on instead of a tracky top if it is really cold.

    For outdoors in poor weather a pair of these keks - not cheap but will last 20 years or more - https://www.military1st.co.uk/sp-sfn...top-black.html
