Im looking to buy myself a nice pair of slippers, budget is probably $50 max.

What do you recommend? I like having a back where my heel is so not a slip on one.

Thanks!

I like my Grosby slippers from Hannahs. They are comfortable to wear and have good soles

Outside budget but last several years so maybe worth it if you can stretch are the excellent Glerups slippers.

 

My pair are now 3 years old and still going! So comfortable in a wide range of temperatures too.

A GZ search on slippers brings up various options. My favorite slippers [Amazon.com] are about double your budget, plus shipping.

Another vote for the Gelerups... they are well outside the budget though. Got mine 18(ish) months ago and they're brilliant, and not showing any significant signs of wear.
I'd have no reservations getting another pair when these ones eventually give up.

I would recommend crafter1 on Trademe. Jan is in Winton and makes really neat slippers but they are above budget again. They are toasty warm!

I looked last winter.
The better of all evils seemed to be kmart or farmers.
I looked at a few others but they started to get up to $80+

 

for $50 or less the farmers range is the better option.
