What exactly are you wearing on your feet at home in the kitchen? I just bought crocs and within a minute of wearing them, find them way too hot. Wearing them a bit longer and I find them too loose and not secure. Quick Google search shows that's just how crocs fit. Loose. They have a 30 day return policy.

So now I'm trying to get ideas on what to buy.
 
Crocs. Been wearing them as house shoes for 20+ years and indoors is the only place I wear them. I have 2 pair. I think they make open-toed slides, too. My husband has hot feet and he likes his crocs in the winter. I bought him open-toed slippers for summer. He's not on his feet standing as much as I am so he doesn't need to worry about supportive cushion for the bottom of his feet.

I guess I just have sensitive feet. Crocs are essentially plastic, so they retain and radiate the heat. They're way too hot for me. Within 30 seconds I can feel the heat. I got the Baya clog. Very ventilated. But it makes no difference because of the material the footwear is made from.

I'd look into open-toed shoes, whatever you end up trying. Plastic is good though because you can clean them. My husband is like you with hot feet and fabric closed-toed shoes don't last long. I buy him at least 2 pairs of slippers a year. I just figured out last year he needs open-toed for summer. I've had my original Crocs since 2002 and my 2nd pair since 2016. Still in great shape.

Edited to add that I just looked and Croc's has an open-toed Baya clog. I'd imagine it fits more securely than a normal clog. Inexpensive and worth a try.

I've got crocs and a pair of clogs. Either pair works fine for me. I'd never go barefoot in the kitchen, just in case something hot (water, sauce, jam) jumped out of the pan and landed on me! Or, God forbid, I dropped a sharp knife.

Yeah, I thankfully haven't dropped any knives on my feet or scalding water, wow. Open-toed slides wouldn't be much help there. I thankfully do not have hot feet so mine are closed.
