There’s no better feeling than slipping your tired and aching feet into a warm and cozy pair of slippers. Whether you wake up in the morning, put them on at the end of a long day, or wear them while working at home, it’s essential to find the perfect pair of slippers, so you don’t have to wear your dirty outdoor shoes inside your house.

Buying a comfortable pair of slippers is even more critical now if you spend more time at home and don’t wear shoes. Walking around barefoot – especially on a hardwood floor – can cause damage to your feet and joints because there is no shock absorption. The good news is that if your knees or feet hurt, wearing slippers at home can help.

The textile lab at the Good Housekeeping Institute has researched and reviewed dozens of women’s slippers for features such as style, materials, ease of cleaning, user feedback, and more. We have many choices, from warm and cozy woolen slippers to trendy home shoes with surprising styles.

 

 

HAFLINGER AT Wool Slippers

These slippers have a molded arch support that helps with the adjustment and alignment of the foot. They are designed to keep your feet at the right temperature, no matter your environment, and they absorb moisture to keep them dry.

The rubber soles on the bottom make these slippers ideal for indoor or outdoor use.

In terms of care, critics have said that they have managed to put these slippers in the washing machine and let them air-dry overnight.

These slippers are made for men and women and are available in various colors, including gray, red, and black.

 

Crocs Kids’ Classic Slippers

Are you shopping for little feet? This is an excellent pair of slippers for kids. The felt on the outside is combined with a plush lining where kids will love to wiggle their toes. The slippers are available in five colors: pink, glacier blue, cerulean, navy, and grey.

Each slipper has an elastic band that keeps the slipper securely in place on your child’s foot, so you can worry less about tripping or slipping. The slippers also have a rubber sole with small buttons for traction, which minimizes slipping and will give you some peace of mind if your child insists on wearing the slippers at the grocery store.

 

Sorel Nakiska Scuff Slippers

If you’re looking for a pair of slippers that will fit perfectly into your sporting activities, these Sorel slippers are perfect. The exterior is felt and suede, giving the slippers a polished yet comfortable look.

The underside of the slipper is covered with non-slip rubber, allowing you to pick up mail from outside or wear it on your deck without getting wet feet or frozen toes. The slipper is lined with faux fur and has a removable, padded insole that critics say provides excellent arch support and makes these slippers comfortable enough to wear for hours.

 

ULTRAIDEAS Comfort Fleece Memory Foam Slippers

The slipper is covered with a velvet-like synthetic coral fleece and lined with an even fluffier fleece. The bottom of the shoe is made of rubber, and the sole is soft; it is not a hard rubber that will keep you safely planted on the ground at all times. I found that the shoe’s sole moved more with my foot than it held it in place.

The slipper is available in several colors: gray, navy blue, pink and purple. I tested the light blue option. The color options can only be described as safe – they will match any pajamas or outfit you have without saying too much.

The material of these slippers is super soft… and hard to clean. The velvet will attract stuffed animals and other small debris, and you can brush it all off pretty easily. But if you spill a cup of coffee or drop something that could damage you, you’ll have to do some heavy cleaning. On the other hand, rubber soles can be cleaned with a quick wipe with a damp towel.

I wouldn’t take these slippers outside. As I said before, the rubber sole is not sturdy and won’t do much to protect or support your arch. Because the sole is so light, it allows you to walk quietly around the apartment. I found it particularly pleasant since we live on the third-floor building without an elevator.

 

 

Vionic Gemma Mule Slippers

They look a lot like spa shoes but are designed for chiropodists, with biomechanical arch support, a deep heel cup to realign your stride, and a flexible EVA midsole to absorb shock and reduce shock stress on the feet and legs. So, in a way, these slippers are the equivalent of a spa day for your feet. However, given the all-fabric construction, I don’t think these slippers will last as long as some of the other slippers I’ve tested, and at their price, I would expect them to last.

The Vionic Gemma Mule slippers have a unique feature: an adjustable hook and loop closure at the top of the slipper. But in reality, most people should do without them because the slippers are very spacious. But it’s always nice to have this option.

The slippers are very soft and comfortable, with Vionic’s Orthaheel technology for foot support. That said, don’t expect much warmth from them! The footbed is made of 100% polyester terry cloth. On the other hand, it is treated with Ecofresh, an antibacterial and odor-resistant product, which is a nice bonus.

These slippers have built-in arch support to help prevent pronation, so they are ideal if you suffer from plantar fasciitis, have flat feet, or have pain walking on a hardwood floor. Thousands of critics swear by them and even say they have helped relieve foot pain. The terry cloth is soft to the touch and has a Velcro closure that allows you to adapt to your foot as best as possible, and there is a foam insole for padding.

But it’s worth a look if you’re looking for exceptional support for your feet and comfort rather than warmth and style.

 

Skechers BOBS Keepsakes Ice Angel Shoes

Although I liked the sturdy feel and the more masculine look of these slippers, they are the ones I least wanted to wear.

I found the soles so flat and firm that my arched feet were incredibly uncomfortable and unsupported by the rigid memory foam.

The slippers also had a short back that didn’t make my feet feel safe and rubbed uncomfortably against the back of my foot every time I walked.

They were much less comfortable and safe than a slipper with an open or closed back.

 

Fleece-Lined Slipper Socks

For more minimal footwear to use at home, these big socks are lined with fleece to be very comfortable and have handles at the bottom to add traction to your floors.

They are affordable and made of a synthetic blend of polyester, nylon, and spandex.

They are also available in several colors and are perfect for gift giving.

 

 

 

 

Women’s Moc Slippers

These slippers are also famous with thousands of critics, but they are made with synthetic materials that make them more affordable and safer for machine washing.

They have a soft and comfortable fleece fabric, a rubber sole for traction, and a memory foam sole that users say makes them feel like they are walking on clouds.

Some critics say they are small, so we recommend adjusting them.

 

 

Cozy Memory Foam Slippers

Slippers can be expensive, but this pair of Amazon is a bargain for less than $25.

Slippers use synthetic materials (such as fake fleece), which helps reduce costs.

They also have memory foam in the footbed, allowing them to fit the shape of your foot comfortably.

Some users say they are small, so it’s best to adjust them if you’re between sizes.

Women’s slippers Buyer’s Guide

The simple fact is that not all slippers are equal. Here we share some considerations that you should think about before making your purchase:

1. The different types of slippers

Whether you are buying a slipper for yourself or someone else, it is essential to be aware of all the different cuts and options that exist when choosing a slipper:

Boot slippers

Although they are not precisely the UGG your little sister can wear while sipping a Machiata-who-knows-what, slippers can be an excellent choice for women on their winter getaway in extremely cold climates. With its mid-calf height, this pattern cut will help keep your feet warm on the harshest winter mornings when you’re sipping a little joe in a log cabin.

Moccasins and Slippers

Like a moccasin for city shoes, this men’s slipper cut is a great way to get on and off easily in the early morning. Although most moccasins don’t have laces, slippers, and moccasins completely wrap your toes and heel. Depending on the fit of the slipper, the top of your foot may be exposed in this model. Naturally, it will be a more sophisticated look.

Mules and slippers

Unlike moccasins and slippers, mules and slippers won’t cover your heel. However, the front of these slippers will completely wrap your toes and the upper part of your feet (think Crocs style). Mules and clogs will probably be more suitable for women with back problems and difficulty putting on their shoes daily.

Novelty Slippers

If you’re on a trip to a world-class theme park in Florida or have kids that you love to entertain (or love Star Wars as much as we do), fancy slippers are usually oversized closed-toe and heel slippers that offer little support and are just plain fun.

Orthopedic Slippers

An orthopedic slipper will have built-in support through several insole layers if you suffer from heel or back pain. The soles of orthopedic slippers are often padded or gel insoles. These slippers can be handy if you suffer from heel spurs or plantar facilities.

Moccasins

Moccasins are traditionally made from animal skins covering both the toes and heels. Because of their lightweight, many women can wear a moccasin at home and use it lightly outdoors (for example, to check the mail or take out the garbage). They are incredibly versatile and durable.

Traction socks

Very popular in the early 90s, thanks to brands like Totes, traction socks are generally a little thicker than traditional sports socks. Beyond the weight of the fabric, traction socks have plastic handles (or a lightweight sole structure) along the bottom of the sock to prevent accidental slipping (especially on hardwood floors).

Where do you plan to wear your socks?

Although most women plan to wear their slippers at home, there are several brands of men’s slippers with built-in rubber soles. This reinforced sole will allow you to perform simple tasks at home and drive the car to do some light errands.

If you’re not looking for total durability, a simple sole made of fabric or other reinforced fabric should provide enough protection for most women around the house.

Common materials used in the manufacture of slippers

The best men’s slippers on the market are usually genuine leather or suede. They may look superior to their natural fiber counterparts (i.e., cotton, wool, canvas, etc.) because they often wear well over time.

Don’t forget your favorite messenger bag or leather jacket. Generally, the more you wear them, the more beautiful and comfortable they are.

In addition to having a more durable outer shell, natural animal skins will probably provide a much more comfortable environment for your toes. This will help keep your feet warm when the mercury continues to fall outside.

Unlike animal skins, natural fibers will be much more affordable. Therefore, a cotton slipper will be much more inviting if you are a woman on a budget. Also, if the slipper has a fabric sole, you can easily throw it in the washing machine once every few weeks to keep that “out of the box” feeling.

In the case of an animal skin slipper, any scratches or splashes on the material will often require professional cleaning to restore it to its original shape. Although more durable, this susceptibility to damage may cause women to wear it only at home (instead of being a multi-purpose slipper many times).

Additional features to consider

When considering buying slippers, there are a few additional features you may want to consider:

Memory foam cushion

With memory foam insoles, you’ll have more cushion for your feet. This increases comfort when walking and can also help relieve some of the back pain you might feel with thin insoles.

Shock Absorption

Like memory foam pads, shock-absorbing slippers are designed to withstand heavy use while providing adequate support for your feet. If you like to wear your slippers for several hours, shock-absorbing insoles can help increase comfort and prevent over-pronation.

Antimicrobial additives

Closed-toe slippers are a breeding ground for bacteria. The venom-free structure of this design allows bacteria to grow quickly and emit foul odors. During the manufacturing process, some companies may add antimicrobial additives such as Ultra-Fresh to help prevent the growth of bacteria. If you find that your feet perspire easily, it may be worth buying a pair of slippers with this additive.

Non-slip

If you have smooth floors or want to feel more confident with every step, consider buying non-slip slippers. This can also be a safe choice if you wear your slippers outside during the winter months.

Diabetic Slippers / Sugar Slippers

Diabetic slippers are uniquely designed to prevent skin breakdown due to poor blood circulation. You can find this type of slippers at specialty retailers such as Zappos, Dr. Comfort, and more.
