I do not get guys who act like girls about shoes. I stick with New Balance and Asics, basic styles and am cheap as hell about them as well. The past several pairs I have had have been bought off ebay used. I have a search saved than has my specifics

Buying used cheap shoes - that's a first for me. Do you really not mind other people's sweaty feet in them? I know, it doesn't feel like it... but the fact that you know...

They are only like $20-$30 from Modell's brand new...

Not sure what that means, but that's my actual car and yes I'm a work-from-home dad that takes care of the kids. Would I rather have my wife's 3hr roundtrip commute everyday? 😀

They stink man. I dragged them through mud, deliberately, soaked them in rain, stuffed them in a bag with newspaper, and just let my feet do some work. And they still smell like rubber... mixed with barf.

I can't remember the last new shoes I bought. They were probably Birkenstocks in the early/mid 90s. Might have been some boots from the same period; dunno. Otherwise, I buy all used shoes, and if I don't need them now, I buy them and stick them in a closet. I probably have boat shoes for the rest of my life. Boots are a little harder to get.
 
I have 3 pairs of shoes. 1 pair of athletic shoes for everyday wear, 1 pair of hiking-type shoes which I wear to work, and 1 pair of old athletic shoes for doing crap jobs like yardwork.

Oh and buying used shoes is like buying used underwear. Gross.
 
I care in the sense that I make the effort to satisfy both function and form depending on the situation. I like looking good, but not at the expense of function. At present I've got 5 pairs of shoes ranging from hiking boots to fancy dress shoes, and one pair of Teva-style sandals, none of which were <$100. I polish my everyday shoes every couple of weeks.
 
While we have all the gay and bisexual men here discussing their shoe collections...

I need a new pair of slippers. Mostly just something to keep my feet from freezing in the house during the winter. I hate fleece-lined slippers, and I don't need something in which I can walk the dog and wash the car, although a sole that can go outside to take out the trash is welcome.

Recommendations?

I use these: http://www.amazon.com/Isotoner-Women...er+house+shoes

They pretty well fit your description. They're not super warm, but to get much warmer you'll probably need something like fleece.

I have far more than 10 pairs. It is a hobby to collect shoes. I enjoy having multiple choices of multiple colors of even the same pair.

And, in the event I ever decide to sell some of my collection, the return on investment is much higher than I've paid.

Women love a man who dresses like one, you should try it sometime. 😉

As for the slippers, I'd recommend some sort of boat shoes. The non-fleece-lined versions will just have your bare foot against leather, but a good pair can be plenty comfortable without socks and they're slip-on. Also more than good enough for a walk down the driveway.
