Of course slippers do tell a story. Like almost all things we own.
I actually do know a few things about you, but even if I wouldn't, considering that one can buy a pair of slippers starting from a couple of euro only and you seem have lots of time on your hands, there is a big chance you are:

- a little cheap or at least not very eager to spend money
- not fond by shopping
- comfortable when in a familiar / known environment
- confident enough not to care about small things
- single or in a very long and possibly worn out relationship.

The thing that men slippers break faster is just an excuse, as you could always buy more then one pair if you are aware of the problem.

BTW - none of what I said above are meant to be insults.
