Friday night, my son nearly stumbled from the stair to the floor and caused his right slipper to be destroyed.
Since I don't throw the good other pair of a slipper, I took this yellow-strap slipper so he can pair it with his left one.
This afternoon though he went to the store to buy cup noodles and he exchanged his flip - flops with mine. I have the red - strap slippers
Then at 3pm my son went to the city to buy 2 pairs of flip-flops. He arrived at 6pm so I told him to give back my own pair of slippers.
Now, I won't get bothered with possible back aches because the height of my slippers is equal; the texture too, because the yellow one has deep indentations where the sole rests.
Do you use a makeshift other slipper that is different from the actual one?

i guess it's the same way with hand-me-down sneakers. the sole reflects how the other person walks. you will notice it when you start walking in it.

right. my sister's slipper has a thicker sole to the right than the left, because she has scoliosis.

hehe, cute! Nowadays slippers who have different colors in a pair are already being sold in the department stores :) I don't know in your place but in my place, it was. In such a way, I will no longer worry if I lose my other pair of slipper as long as its looks don't seem to be apart from each other. :)

right, but as long as the slippers have the same height in the soles, otherwise, you will walk limping.

@allen0187 yes, each has his own taste. i would not also want to wear a pair of shoes but with different colors. the slippers in the picture in tToni's comment was always used by me when i go to the city for errands.

yes, my lady. i don't throw away the undamaged slipper because it can still be paired with one.

@Shavkat right, as long as the heels of the shoes are the same, even different colors, because if not, scoliosis will occur.

the slippers in the picture are not really a match, the yellow one is bigger while my slipper in red is the left one. sometimes, a durable leaf can be made a slipper. i saw one in Batanes.

@ridingbet I never walk barefoot, I wear shoes, not fully flat, they are not good for your back.

so, do you wear flat shoes when you are inside your house, or do you go barefooted?
