Do you guys have boot slippers like these in Japan? I seem to

remember a Japanese friend of mine being surprised when I said that these are slippers and not shoes 🤔

I’d say they’re kind of common here on Mexico, but they’re probably not, because they just look like some kind of boots that are used here

@Yon Snow cause these are literally slippers. Like, they're not made for outdoors

Well, I lived in Tokyo for more than a year and I've never seen this kind of slippers

@自由 Really? It's so interesting to me! I always assumed that these existed all over the world 😂

We call those just “boots.” Japanese think slippers are thin, small shoes used inside a house or toilet room.

@lghxyt these can only be worn inside. The soles are made of material that would fall apart easily when worn outside. It's soft and made to be worn indoors

@lghxyt that's why I was surprised to learn that my Japanese friends were surprised! I assumed indoor slippers like these boot-style ones are common around the world. They're extra warm in colder weather
