Workshop slippers?

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

I'm usually just running down there (repeatedly) to get a tool while working on something upstairs. The electronics stuff is down there as well. Sometimes it's a matter of taking the thing downstairs to use the vice or hammer for 5 seconds.
I also get a chuckle out of having dedicated workshop slippers, but it does prevent things from being tracked upstairs.
Ordered the enclosed Crocs for $26. Blue was a lot cheaper than black.

Crocs make my feet sweat so I can't stand anything closed by them. Been waiting for step-in shoes to start going down in price. There are a bunch of them, but all hovering around $100. Can't justify that for garage/yardwork shoes. I currently just mash my feet into permanently tied sneakers.

The Nike's I linked are technically step-ins but the top is mesh and I've found they are not the best to walk around the yard in. Your feet slide around a little on hills. The ones you posted look more like traditional shoes you can step into.

I wonder if they perform any different. Hopefully someone does a compare. I agree, I need a full shoe to be tight enough for those hills in the yard. Otherwise, I don't much care.
I admit I didn't click your link above because I just assumed it was those ugly easter candy colored monstrosities that Nike called their step-in shoe. Yours look much, much better.
