Default Recommendation for good slippers

Hi Greetings to everybody I'm a new member with this question:

Anyone have experience with a good pair of house slippers to buy online? Using a rollator now around the house and want to avoid a fall. Some of my concerns are drop foot, easy to put on, not too heavy, and not slippery.

My husband wore Crocs exclusively. They really helped keep him from slipping.

I'd consider getting the kind of soft slipper with a firm sole that has a velcro closure. I got a pair for my husband from one of those catalogues that seem to come every day. Wish I could remember which one! But they are great--fleece lined, open toe (really perfect for ALS-induced hammer toes), and very easy to put on and take off. --Diane
