OK, Sounds like a stupid question, but does anyone know where you can buy adult slippers from on the island. I have checked Wings, they only sell kids, and War paint who stock shoes, but not being here long I don't know where to look.

Any suggestions would be great.

try again at war paint - they stock a huge variety of slippers right at the back, two aisles if i recall correctly - mostly Old Navy brand, and also leather, more expensive ones up to $100bz. Wings also had adult ones last time i checked, Reef brand and others.... Otherwise pretty much anywhere has them (Quans on middle st had a fake crocs chinese import for $15bz which to be fair have lasted me about 6 months now).

ShadowCat, flipflops or sandals are called slippers by locals. Are you looking for in-house slippers? I have seen them once at Sunsations gift shop but the only place I have seen them on a regular basis is Mirab in Belize city.

Oh, I mean the slippers you wear to keep your feet warm around the house, the place I am staying has a hard polish concrete floor and wanted something soft and comfy to wear, not like flip flops that we seem to wear all day long.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks.

I think I saw some at Caye Supply. Also try the drug/lingerie shop across from Gecko Graphics if not there, for sure Brodies in the city.

I usually just put on some socks; actually have a pair of fuzzy socks just for this purpose. Perhaps you don't want to slide all about the floor tho'. smile

"not like flip flops that we seem to wear all day long"

No kidding! I wear mine from the minute I get up until the minute I go to bed (I live on the beach ground floor). The high end sandal makers need to use me as a tester (for a fee of course)...
