What do you get the Guinness drinker who has everything? A pair of Guinness-themed slippers of course. These branded, slip-on mule slippers feature a cushioned insole and a hardwearing grip sole for good traction. The perfect gift. Slippers that won’t break the bank The high-quality slippers look and function just as well after three months of daily use. The wool is a bit difficult to clean, but a damp cloth wipes the dirt away easily. Wurster told us that the biggest mistake she sees people make when buying slippers is basing their decision solely on style, particularly the “fuzziness” of a slipper instead of the support it offers. “Often, the fuzziest slippers have what is essentially a cardboard sole, and that is not a recipe for healthy feet!” Made with a velvet suede upper and lambswool for cozy comfort, we found that they keep your feet warm during the winter without feeling too hot. A common complaint with some slippers is that the interior lining is too hot for the warmer months. Suede, faux fur, and shearling can cause feet to sweat, which can be uncomfortable when wearing them for long periods. The midsole was supportive enough that we felt comfortable standing in the slippers all day while working around the house. The cushioned inside molded easily to our feet, becoming more and more comfortable with every wear. The outsoles are made of rubber certified by the FSC, making this a great option for people who go out of their way to shop sustainably.

Although quite pricey for slippers, we think the L.L. Bean Squam Lake Booties are more than worth the splurge. Even those of us who are seasoned slipper-wearers can attest these are worth every penny. The satisfaction of changing into a pair of slippers after a long day on your feet cannot be overstated—but how do you know which pair is best for you? According to Dr. Lauren Wurster, podiatrist and spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association, it’s all about getting the right support for your foot. There are a few main styles of slippers that you can consider when shopping. This will be the first step in determining the right slipper for you, especially if you’re interested in how fashionable your slippers look.Overall, we recommend the Ugg Tasman Slippers for their warmth and comfort. These slippers are lined with genuine sheepskin and have an outsole with traction, so you can wear them safely outside. For a less expensive option, we were amazed by how well the Dearfoams Brendan Microfiber Suede Clogs kept our feet cozy even on walks through the snow. Slipper lining is almost always very soft and warm, so you don’t need to worry about lining in terms of textural comfort. What you do need to worry about is sweat, as some fabrics will cause you to sweat more than others. If your feet tend to get sweaty, or you don’t want to run the risk of sweating at all in your slippers, Dr. Wurster recommends choosing a fabric that is light and breathable, such as cotton. For the slippers that were advertised as being outdoor-friendly, we wore them outside and determined if we felt supported or noticed a difference in traction. After our two-week testing period ended, we noted if there was any wear on the shoes and if the soles flattened over time. We then washed the slippers (if they were machine-washable) and evaluated if the washing changed the look of the shoes or if they felt less comfortable. We loved the comfortable fit after the initial break-in period of about three wears, which kept our feet warm during the cold days while remaining versatile and durable. The hard rubber sole makes the Tasman slippers perfect for trips to the mailbox, even with a wet or snowy driveway in your way. However, the suede upper may be difficult to clean, so we recommend spraying your Uggs with a protective spray before wearing them outdoors.

Whether you’re buying a new pair of slippers for support or style, the best slippers feel comfortable underfoot and are made of materials that are soothingly soft and able to keep your feet nice and toasty as you move about your house. To find the very best slippers, we tested 23 of the most popular options in our Lab, evaluating them on design, quality, comfort, durability, warmth, and value. Moccasin-style slippers are great for people who want slippers that also look like shoes, so you can wear them outside of the home without looking like you’re wearing slippers. The classic Minnetonka Cally Slippers are made of a soft suede and lined with a plush faux fur that was so cozy, it managed to keep our feet warm even when our heating was off for the day. After that, we wore the slippers for at least one hour a day or more for two weeks and rated them based on several factors, including warmth, breathability, ease of walking, and odor retention. We noted if we slipped while walking on hard floors and carpeting, if we felt comfortable wearing them for several hours at a time, and if we felt more comfortable while wearing them than while walking around barefoot. The NineCiFun Women's Slip-on Fuzzy House Slippers have a slip-on style that’s perfect for busy mornings, and these were the most undeniably soft slippers we tested. When you slip these on, the faux fur feels like a warm embrace for your feet. Compared to the Uggs, there is no break-in period with these slippers. The faux fur and memory foam insole are thinner than others on this list, but that means the interior won’t matte over time. They are not as supportive as other options because of the thin sole, but they have a thin rubber outsole if you have to run outside, thought we would recommend using these as mostly indoor shoes.We do wish the faux fur lining would be removable so you could wash the two separately. This would also make the Crocs more suitable for indoor and outdoor wear for all seasons. Still, we love this option as a warmer alternative to the traditional, beloved clog. We loved the style of the shoe but had some issues with the quality. After wearing these for more than 50 hours, the faux-fur lining started to feel less fluffy, and the suede on the sides of the shoes showed signs of wear. The lining also made our feet feel sweaty, which isn’t surprising as synthetic materials tend to do that. And if you’re looking for arch support, we recommend looking elsewhere. Despite these grievances, we still saw value in these shoes and would advise people to get them based on their style and overall coziness.
