house shoe

Soft home footwear

A house shoe is a slipper—soft, comfortable footwear worn indoors.

The term is regional, most common in the American South and Midland states: Go put on your house shoes before you catch cold.

House shoes are typically distinguished from outdoor footwear by their soft soles and casual construction.
