What are flat, slipper-like shoes from the Middle East called?

Although I've read it several times, the third paragraph remains unclear to me. It seems to be an incomplete sentence and/or thought.

QuizzMan, I puzzled over it for awhile, visualising small rodents underfoot, but realised she meant gofer, as in film studio lackeys.

Player #45549228, it’s referring to servants and a chauffeur.

QuizzMan, yeah, it kind of went off topic.

QuizzMan, in Spanish- babushas

I have a pair I ended up with ages ago. They're a bit more fancy than those pictured and bright pink with decorative bits on the toe. Now I know what they're called. :D

these shoes can be shuffled off when one walks into a house, because Muslims take their shoes off when entering their homes.

Possibly referencing Caddyshack, but not really a relevant or accurate joke.
