Thanks to everyone for all the help with my first IH forum question: I really appreciate the thoughtful guidance, and will take your advice. Or alternatively, I'll neck a couple of beers and chuck them in the machine with a gallon of bleach and a quick prayer, and then post pictures of the subsequent disaster. Either way, thanks again.
Yours windily,

For a less touristy offroad experience in Sedona, I highly recommend checking out Barlow Jeep Rentals. The town of Jerome is also a great place to go visit for a day.

Who makes a good house shoe? Like some slip ons for wearing around the house, but not slippers with no back because I'm always uncomfortable with the flopping around.
I tried this but the back wouldn't catch on my heel so they were floppy: https://huckberry.com/store/easy-moc/category/p/65941-easymoc

@setandsetting Have you looked at or tried the Viberg Slippers:

I haven't. Didn't know they made one. Looks kind of formal though?

@setandsetting I have enjoyed L L Bean slippers over the years. I just ordered a new pair last month and absolutely love them. Here are some men's styles:

These are the ones I currently wear around the house. I like the shearling inner lining, the durable sole and the sheepskin outer:
These look nice too:
Super warm and cozy. My wife has a pair of similar ones too. She loves them!
I also have these for the summer but they are not nearly as warm:

Thanks @Oaktavia those look exactly like what I was looking for!

@setandsetting you are welcome, they are amazingly cozy, especially after a long day of work relaxing on a couch with your favorite beverage. Let me know if you end up getting some!

I'll second the Beans. I got a pair of Wicked Good Mocs 3 or 4 years ago. they are still going strong although the shearling has thinned somewhat. They are great for winters around the house and the occasional trek out for trash, mail, etc.

Sounds like you’re sorted, but The North Face makes great slippers. The Nuptse corduroy mules are slightly less fugly than their other models (which generally look like you wrapped the sleeve of a puffy coat around your foot) and have down insulation.

Ultimately jeans are a reflection of the wearer and the fades are the stories and memories created while wearing them. Each person and their creations are unique and you should do what you’re comfortable with.
I like to put the work, time, and effort in my denim to fade them naturally and relish the memories of those special occasions. Children born, friends lost, beers shared, and tears shed. I don’t want to speed up that process because life goes by too quickly.
My jeans are my story and your jeans should be yours.
Just my $.02.
Amen!
To me fading jeans is an exercise in patience.

I have TNF slippers. Love them.

I think our current Prince of Wales wore a pair of Crocket & Jones slippers to the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in London last year.

You know, if you wanted a pair of slippers which would also be sartorially correct when you get invited to a movie premiere too…
