Ugly yes, but Glerups are the best slippers you will ever buy: they make your feet as comfortable as possible, they are warm but not sweat, but indoors no, not wash like flip flops (I'm eyeing you, UGG). We've had several pairs over the years, leather soles (which are fine too), boot style etc, but this style with that *specific* rubber sole was the top choice here at PNW. (Other rubber soles used to be made, but in my experience this sole has better grip, is softer and looks better.) Odorless,
