Yes, House Shoes Are Indulgent, But We Still Want A Pair
Words by Mr Tom M Ford
9 March 2021
If you are officially quite posh, you will ask people to remove their shoes when they enter your house. You also wouldn’t dare wear anything more polluting than a pair of socks while padding around your abode (and never bare feet – the inhumanity!). However, if you want to become truly revered by your peers, and society as a whole, you must embrace the concept of special shoes designed to be worn mainly, if not solely, indoors. Intrigued? Try out our selection of “house shoes”, below, and, with just one click, move up the class system today.
01.
The sofa-like slippers
Welcome to the new age of apathy. For those men whose approach to life is so relaxed that they don’t just want to sit on sofas, but wear them on their feet as well. Good for them. Food stains optional.
02.
The comfy sandals
If your mate got really into grinding his own coffee beans and Mr Sam Harris’ podcasts, he would answer his door in these. His beard smells of sandalwood, he’s got a pot (vintage Le Creuset, naturally) of vegan stew on the hob and, let’s face it, you want to be him.
03.
The peerless loafers
Maybe you are a member of the landed gentry. Or maybe you just want to understand what it feels like to be so. Either way, step this way into next-level luxury and sophistication. Or have your hired help do it.
04.
The logo slides
Perhaps, instead of emerging from lockdown with plans of action, you intend to carry on taking things easy for a bit. If so, why not do it in style with these Gucci slip-ons? Quick errands (even if they are just to the kitchen) have never looked so good…
05.
The multi-purpose slip-on
If the auras of a data-hoarding evil genius and a lute whittler could be combined into one, comfy shoe, this would be it. Perfect if you’ve got some Netflix to watch in the morning and a pilgrimage to make in the evening.
