New shoes for me

We went to a different suburb to have our eyes tested yesterday. While we were there, we walked around the adjacent shopping centre and I bought two pairs of shoes. Till now, I’ve been wearing my crocs indoors but with the weather getting hot, they are now no longer comfortable.
The shoes are thongs (flip flops to some) and were very cheap. I thought I’d wear the brown ones around the house but I might still try to find some with cloth-type tops as I would be happy wearing either pair on casual outings.
Have you bought new shoes recently? And what do you wear around the house? Do you go barefoot?

We had eye exams yesterday and should get our new glasses on the 20th of December. I last bought some new shoes last December, I think. They're still in the shoe box. They're tennis shoes and I don't need them yet.
We go barefoot in the house.

@JudyEv We have carpet through most of the house. Pretty vacuums a couple time a week so we don't have problems feeling anything underfoot.

@DaddyEvil Maybe I just need to vacuum more. 
We have carpet in the bedrooms, tiles everywhere else.

@DocAndersen When Vince finds clothes that fit and that he likes, I always push him to buy two whatevers. It's hard to get him to shop for himself.

I think they are sandals and not close shoes. I think I want to post my new sandals too. I really like the design. I like the strap of your sandals

@JudyEv I like the design. Good to know they are comfortable and not hard

Both pairs are quite comfortable but almost too nice to wear for everyday inside the house.

@JudyEv I hate wearing slippers in the winter. My feet get too sweaty.

Those look nice and summery. I haven't bought any new shoes lately, but I am looking for mid calf boots.

@JudyEv Yesterday while in the city I saw a shoe repair shop. I have a couple of short boots I have that are kinda beat to He'll and back and one has a loose sole. I might take them in there and see how much it would cost to renew them.

@snowy22315 I don't see too many shoe repair shops nowadays. They are mostly teamed in with a key-cutting business.

These ones look good. We call them as flip-flops and the Hindi word is "Chappal".
No new shoes for me since a long time.
I rarely move barefoot in my house.

Those are nice thongs. I never walk barefoot, I have house shoes that I wear inside, often ballerina shoes... good to go up and down the stairs.
I bought no shoes during the year 2021... I am patting my back. Should I buy a pair of shoes for Christmas???

@Edsamacos There are only two of us but I hate feeling any dust or dirt under my feet. I think I just need to clean more often.

@JudyEv we keep the floors clean. We are only 3 at home, no kids so it can be maintained

@JudyEv We have Ugg boots here too and they are similar. The ones I wear are the slipper socks but they have a good supportive sole on the bottom. And you can roll down the sock part if you want.
My feet stay cold in the winter. I wear thick socks and sometimes that is not enough. With hardwood floors I have to wear shoes with support. I have been...

When you get a really comfortable pair of shoes that's all you want to wear. Vince bought me back a pair of scuffs from Nepal. He had to guess the size but they are REALLY comfortable. I try to limit the times I wear them so they'll last a long time.

I love crocs too! Ah I would love to be able to have flip flops but I can't deal with the thing between the toes. Those are nice, and don't at all appear cheap
