Thongs (local term for flip flops) are popular hereIf, by slipper, you mean some sort of house shoe, maybe like a bunny shoe complete with ears, every one down here has owned a pair. Usually this type of slipper is used as a training device to get children to actually wear shoes for more than a minute or two.
If you mean some sort of shoe that is worn only inside the home in the morning before dressing or in the evening before bed, this must be a notion from folks who live in colder climates. Where I spend most of my time, you would be hard pressed to find a man who owns more than one pair of socks let alone slippers.
Not uncommon to see a man in a business suit by Armani or even Fioravanti wearing Norvegese or Berluti shoes.
Slippers down this way seems to mean a shoe like Mephisto slip on boat shoes, still with no socks.
