Aside from being durable and comfortable, they are easy to clean; just toss them in the washer and let them air dry. One thing to note: run them on a couple of spin cycles to remove excess water. Since they are cotton and memory foam, they retain more moisture. I see the allure of Crocs now that I've tested them. Many people (like myself) have a very polarizing feeling about Crocs. They are everywhere, especially in the kitchens I worked in years ago—cooks/chefs love them for their incredible all-day comfort (similar to nurses). When I actually put them on, I was blown away by the comfort.

If you could have an all-terrain category for slippers, these would be the slippers. These slippers were comfortable right out of the starting gate. They are a let's-get-up-and-go type of slipper. Perfect for those morning walks with the dog, for walking around the house, avoiding the cold tile in the winter, and they're even great right out of the shower or hanging poolside. If you’re looking for slippers that won’t break the bank and offer comfort, consider the Vonmay. After wearing them for two hours a day during the test, I can confirm that these slippers are very comfortable, thanks to a lot of cushion in the footbed. However, I noticed that when I walked, I sometimes felt the sides of the outsole rubbing against my foot. It wasn't something that caused any discomfort. It was just how the slippers were constructed (or maybe even how I was walking). Either way, these slippers are not machine washable, and the recommended care for them is to use a suede brush. You could probably even use some mild suede cleaner along with that brush. We built our slides for men with the same rigour and demanding standards you’ll find in all our men’s shoes. Expect fixed, moulded straps with rolled edges - that means no friction or rubbing when barefoot. You’ll find Charged Cushioning® in the midsole. This is a special foam which responds to each stride. Yep, they’re designed to wear around your training, but you’ll likely find yourself slipping them in other situations because they’re just so comfortable.It’s important to consider the different types of material used for the upper, lining, and outsole of your slipper. The outsole material should be made of something that will give you traction on various surfaces. I found soft rubber soles like those in the Crocs Classic Lined Clog and Vonmay Men's Slipper to be the best in traction and anti-skid. The upper material should be of good quality since this will have the most exposure besides the outsole. Materials such as leather and microfiber, like those found in the Minnetonka Men's Pile Lined Hardsole Slipper, are great options since they are durable. Determine the slipper style. There are so many slipper styles to choose from that it can be overwhelming. I recommend staying with the most popular slipper styles, such as moccasins, booties, slides, clogs, and open- or closed-toe slippers. My personal favorites were the Lands' End Men's Suede Moccasin Slippers and the UGG Men's Scuff Slippers. But in all seriousness, they are great shoes disguised as slippers. A friend of mine has some, and she swears by them, but she only wears them in the house and around the yard. On the other hand, another friend wears them and adorns them with Jibbitz. I get it. They're comfortable. They don't smell (yes, I have been smelling them), and they're worth it. As I'm writing this, I found out that Crocs sells an actual slipper. Something I wasn't aware of when testing started. We'll have to put them to the test in the next round.

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 Overall, it was like wearing a shoe. Which, to me, was the problem. They felt more like a shoe than an actual slipper and were too bulky for my taste. Looking at it from a slipper aspect, they were warm, comfortable, and fit well. The care instructions say they are machine washable, but I didn't wash them because I felt it could damage the structure of the slipper. If these were less shoe-like and more house slippers, I would have enjoyed them more. While some were made of high-quality leather, others relied on popular materials like memory foam for comfort. I looked at the slipper's soles to determine whether they created traction on different surfaces to prevent slipping. Getting in and out of a slipper is arguably one of my top priorities, which is why I chose the Ugg men’s Scuff Slippers. They're light, soft, comfortable, and easy to slip on and off. The Ugg Men's Scuff Slippers are my go-to slippers because of their craftsmanship, style, and materials like suede uppers, Uggplush material of upcycled wool and Tencel, and suede outsoles. Sure, there's no arch support, but these are the slippers you will wear when you get out of bed on a cold morning and stumble to the kitchen to grab your first cup of coffee.The Olukai Moloā slippers are an excellent option for those looking for premium house slippers thanks to their luxe appearance and high-end materials: leather and a shearling lining. You can wear them two different ways—as a shoe or by using the collapsible heel for a slip-on, which none of the other slippers on this list have as a feature.
