carpet slippers

Soft indoor shoes

Carpet slippers are soft, lightweight slippers meant for indoor wear, typically with flexible soles unsuitable for outdoor use.

The name suggests footwear for walking on carpets rather than hard floors or pavement: He shuffled around the house in his carpet slippers.

The term is somewhat old-fashioned, more common in British than American English.
