Workshop slippers?

(1/8) > >>

BadMouth:
Having a basement workshop, I often slip down there for quick tasks or sometimes the quick task turns into hours.  After tracking sawdust upstairs too often, I had to leave a dedicated pair of slippers in the workshop.  Also had my painting flip flops as a backup.

Well, I tossed out the slippers when the level of aluminum chips tangled in the fuzzy liners became too scratchy.  Wouldn't you know it, three weeks later one of the cheap flip flops fell apart.

On the lookout for some new shop slippers.  Must be able to scoot my feet into them without using hands.  Anyone have any recommendations? 

I saw some crocs on sale and thought that the smooth surface would be easier to clean chips from, but the round holes on top would let more chips fall in.

You can get crocs that are enclosed:

Or take a trip to the hospital and see what the docs are rocking.

Props for having a basement workshop.  Color me jealous!   :cheers:

I started using a pair of Nike shoes that are effectively slip-ons.

No laces and I can put them on like slippers (no hands).  The sole is padded with ZoomX foam which is super light and bouncy.  No need for shop floor foam padding.

You guys do realize it takes 20 whole seconds to tie your shoes right?

I just wear an old pair of sneakers in my shop.

I walk around in adidas sandals all day.  Thick rubber sole.  It's fine for the workshop and they are like $20.
