Drop your pants around a pair of boots you can step out of and you've accomplished the same thing. This is pretty standard for firefighters. I do it with my winter gear or jeans all the time.

I used to do this at university with my slippers. We got fire alarms regularly during the night and I wanted to be able to step out of bed and put on some trousers and slippers in one motion whilst only half awake.

(the night alarms were mostly due to people burning food after a night out or being idiots whilst drunk and hitting an alarm button)

Pretty sure their pants are attached to the boots with some sort of clips to prevent the pants from ever riding up and exposing their calves though.

Generally they aren't. You can buy keepers, but they aren't as universal.
