Slipper Style shoe

Hi looking into a slipper style shoe for easy on and off. I looked into the mantras and they look nice but i would like something a bit more durable at the expense of sensitivity that i keep reading of. I would not mind a less comfortable squeeze but my intended use is training my toes and long sessions

I have a inherited some pairs of instinct vsr and sportiva finales both in 41. Looking for something less aggressive than the instincts (which rules out the slipper instincts for me) that will make me work on my footwork/toe strength. I sit in the v5-6 range and do mostly indoor bouldering. I would probably use them indoor for the most part as well

I have a greek toe on both feet as context

If the Instinct Slippers are the best of the bunch I might just wait till the current pair i have needs resoled/i find a pair on sale or used

Are there any good brands/models to check out? Searching up slipper specific shoes is a bit hard to find much on (the top post when i search is 10 yrs old)

** Edit: Putting together a list of the slipper style shoes since they are rather hard to search

La Sportiva - Mantra

Scarpa - Instinct S

Unparallel - Up Mocc

Unparallel - Vim

Mad Rock - Remora

Evolv - Raves

So ill - Roam
