I personally do not like traditional slippers so I have used flip flops for a number of years as slippers.  I particularly like these Croc flip flops for that purpose. These flip flops are made of the same rubber material that traditional clog Crocs are made out of which means they are water resistant and provide a lot of comfort to your feet. After a long day at work, I like to put these on because the little nubs on the sole almost massage your tired feet.  I really like the flexibility of the flip flop, especially in the straps.  I never find these to chafe against my feet or toes as some flip flops do.  They are extremely light weight so they do not put stress on your feet and they also travel very well! I have used them as garden/outside shoes before as well though I did slip in them when I was walking through a particularly muddy area, so you will want to be careful.  I would not recommend these for the pool as I feel they are too slippery to get enough traction around a wet pool.  However as indoor relaxation and dry outdoor shoes, I think they are perfect!  The color is also nice on these and I like that the bottom is a darker color so the pink does not get stained. I have never worn these out in public on purpose (a few times on accident) as I don't think they are very fashionable but you certainly could if you wanted to have comfortable feet!
