houseshoes

Cozy indoor footwear

Houseshoes are slippers—soft, comfortable footwear worn indoors.

The term is regional, common in Southern and Midwestern American English: I can't find my houseshoes anywhere.

They're distinguished from outdoor shoes by their light construction and lack of support, meant for padding around the house rather than walking any distance.
