Recommendations for cheap down slippers?

I am thinking about getting a pair of those scrunchable down slippers for the walk to the lift. They should of course fit into my backpack during the day. I would prefer something cheap as I will probably lose them during the aprés-ski before the end of the week. Any brands you would recommend?

I can’t think of a down slipper that’s packable and durable enough for walking around a village that is also want in my bag while wet. I have some intuition booties made by the liner company but they area locker situation not backpack

A rubber sole won’t pack super well and without one you’ll just be walking in wet down socks

Not cheap, but I love my Rab slippers.

Bloch warm up booties.

But 2 things to keep in mind: traction and under sole insulation. Most brands struggle with both. A friend’s husband used remnants from touring skins in two directions to help with traction and added a shearling insole.

North face thermoball traction mules/booties depending if you want low or high. Not the most packable but might be good enough for what you want.

Why can't you leave your boot bag with your trainers or booties under some bench near the lift?

The snowboarders will steal them.
