If anyone makes this.......we thought of it first!!!

Oooo, shlippers, I might have to see about making some prototypes I do have an ancient sewing machine that still needs it's power cord replaced or a treadle attached to it, but it can do cobbling.

Soft suede soles like the ballerina shoes, fair amount of fluffy feet loving padding, maybe using some memory foam... Padding to about the depth of a sneaker's sole, coming up to wrap the foot in additional padding before building the body of the shoe... A nice patent leather loafer/saddle shoe style, or even a converse-like canvas... A bit of rubber to 'hide' the padding and give a mock 'sole'. So no one would know you're sporting shlippers

Ahhh, better still making sure there's a way to also replace the sueded sole, so they can last longer, and an attachable acrylic plate for the bottom so they can be worn outside even if the ground is damp....

Though if you didn't use rubber but a lightweight plastic instead just as the sole surround its feasible that they could be made interchangeable, snap on a patent leather Mary Jane style for going out on the town, snap on a bootie for those chilly northern morning, off to the grocers? Well just snap on the sneaker skin slip them on and shlip your way down frozen foods.

Who here watches tv? What's that show about money for ideas? Shark tale or something? When are they do casting calls again? Lol

The knitters already invented schlippers.

As for slippers that you can wear like shoes. I gave my mom a pair of Uggs slippers that she wears out into the world like shoes. (mostly because she forgets to change shoes). I got her the ones that have soles to hopefully reduce the chance that she'd slip while wearing them.

My grandmother made me a pair of these knitted shlippers. They were nice but really hard to walk in. This was years ago before I had MS.

I need something with a more substantial sole to it but not as thick or hard as a regular shoe.

I think my problem is just the off balance feeling I get when I have pretty much anything on my feet except socks. Well, that and the unfamiliar feel of walking outside and not on the flat wood floors inside my house.

I looked at the Ugg shoes and I would probably break my silly neck if I tried to walk in those!
