15 Slippers You'll Never Want to Take Off This Winter (2024)

These mule-style slippers from L.B. Evans are swanky enough to pull off with a suit, but work just as well with pajamas. They're made from 100% real leather, including a soft leather sole. The inside footbed is made from a rough out leather to prevent your foot from slipping around.

The full footbed is also padded to provided cushioned support. The soft leather will mold to your foot with time as it breaks in like a baseball glove. That means it molds to your feet with enough use. Though some testers found that these shoes were prone to slipping on hardwood floors.

As if that wasn't good enough for fit, L.B. Evans makes a remarkable range of sizing for slippers, including half sizes from 8 to 11, plus wide sizing.

Easymoc was founded in Maine, where a rich tradition of making moccasin style footwear has existed for generations. And our editors found that these come close to the best moc-style slippers they've tried.

Easymoc used leather from Chicago's legendary Horween tannery, a Vibram sole—usually found on work boots, and added an orthopedic footbed from Ortholite. The dropped-back scuff design puts the easy in Easymoc because they couldn't be easier to take on and off. We did find you may need to wear some thick socks with these during winter, since they don't don't have much insulation.

If you're looking for a slipper that will transition from your living room to just about anywhere, this is it. They have the appearance of a classic boat shoe, so they play nice with jeans and chinos.

Wool is an amazing material, since it's warm and insulating but still breathable and moisture wicking. The fibers are naturally antimicrobial, which combats funky odors. Best of all, wool starts out cozy and gets even better as you break it in. All of these elements also make for the perfect slipper material, as demonstrated by Greys.

Handmade in Portugal, these wool blend slippers are soft, flexible, and slide right on. The dense material is water resistant and rubber sole, complete with toe cap, and is ready to hit the streets. Essentially, they feel like slippers and function like sneakers.

With five different colors to choose from, these will be your new kick around footwear all winter long. Socks optional.

It’s like a teddy bear wrapped around your feet. SeaVees are known for their sneakers, but it turns out they make a pretty good house slipper too. This high pile fleece slide is the coziest thing you can stick your foot in, our editors found in their testing. Plus, SeaVee uses fleece made from recycled PET plastics (you know, the ones found in single-use bottles). Easier on your feet, and the planet.

Our testers found that the sole's slippers are as grippy as the brand's signature sneakers, making them great for hardwood floors. Make no mistake: These are 100% house slippers. All that coziness comes at the price of durability, i.e. you can't expect these to handle the city streets. These puppies are built for Netflix and chilling.

The latest rugged release from Teva, this camping slipper has a thick outsole made to crunch over sticks, leaves, pavement, and more. The upper is made from water-resistant recycled ripstop so you're not screwed in muddy weather, and the footbed is made from a cushioned foam that's oh-so-comfortable.

If you're into the Gorpcore trend—essentially streetwear but with outdoors gears—then these are the slippers for you. They're built the handle the woods so they can definitely take everything the burns or city streets can throw at them.

The super cozy, ultra comfy, and just funky looking enough to be cool. If they're a little too funky, you can tame it down with the all black option.

These may look like your prototypical house slipper, but Deer Stag added a few innovations to make them way more comfortable and functional. The faux shearling lining is made from and extra plush polyurethane, which means it is matted down like real shearling.

The footbed is cushioned, but it is a removable and can be replaced. That means you can put a custom footbed in here for ideal comfort. The sole also features reinforced bumpers on common pressure points.

Best of all, the Nordic Slipper comes in nine different color options. So no matter what your loungewear style is, they've got an option for you.

This family-run brand, who makes some of the best jackets for men, also makes top quality slippers. Overland works with Austrialian marino sheep and is one of the few companies in the world that makes double-faced sheepskin slippers. That means the entire upper is made from a single layer of shearling leather. This provides much better breathability than the layered shearling that lesser slippers use.

The Gunner is a boot-slipper hybrid thanks to the fold down cuffed ankle design. It's a style that's been been used by indigenous peoples of the Arctic and nordic countries for centuries. You can flip the cuff up when you go outside, then flip it down when you're inside.

Sweat is the enemy in cold weather, which is why shearling is ideal. The natural properties of wool wick away sweat and keep your feet dry. The double faced shearling from Overland does this exceptionally well.

Sorel makes slippers just as tough as their winter boots. The Falcon Ridge II is a great example. A suede upper with faux shearling lining will keep your feet warm and dry out in the elements. The crepe sole is the real selling point of these scuff style slippers, since it's soft enough to not damage any floors in your house. We love that it has all the grip you need to stay sure footed on hardwood floor, yet it can also handle wet and rugged outdoors terrain. The Falcon Ridge Slipper is also soft, lightweight, and flexible.

Sorel put a molded footbed in there that will absorb the impact of your every step and gradually mold to fit the bottom of your foot. These are the ultimate indoor-outdoor slippers, whether the indoors means your apartment in the city, or a tent in the middle of the woods.

For years now, L.L. Bean has made an entire line of shearling and leather slippers called Wicked Good. After the bean boot, it contains their most famous footwear. The slipper that started the entire Wicked Good line is the Moccasin.

The best way to sum up the Wicked Good Moccasin is the old phrase, "if it ain't broke, don't fit it." The folks up in Maine have been making moccasins for generations and they've got the technique down to perfection.

The Wicked Goods have the signature mock sewn toe box, the wrap around lace with a single pass though the tongue. A sewn on rubber outsole for solid traction. The only improvement L.L. Bean has made in recent years is the addition of a memory foam footbed. One tester says it's a wardrobe classic staple alongside Hunter rain boots and Gucci horse bit loafers, and we have to agree.

When it comes to luxury slippers Stubbs and Wooton comes close to the top of the game. All of its shoes are handcrafted in Spain by expert cobblers. Its 100% linen needlepoint slippers are made form hand stitched needlepoint canvases individually made for each pair.

All of their slippers have a full staked heal, meaning the entire sole is leather. The sole is also replaceable by Stubbs and Wootton whenever it wears out. So if you take care of the upper you can have these slippers for life.

We love that a linen shoe feels as airy on your foot as a linen shirt does on your body. If your feet run hot, then it's well worth the investment.

The real selling point for Stubbs and Wootton is its unique patterns and decorations. All of its slippers are built in the same simple, timeless silhouette which they then decorate with either simple solid velvet with fun embroidery or beautifully ornate needlepoint designs. One note: our editors found that the traction is pretty poor, so you may not want to spend hours in these on hardwood floors.

Birkenstock Zermatt Clog Slippers

Everyone knows Birkenstock's sandals and its Boston clog, but in our experience, the Zermatt Clog Slipper is the brand's most underrated shoe. It's built out of the same reliable suede upper and rubber sole as Birkenstock's other shoes, but features a simpler, sleeker appearance. The only thing differentiating the Zematt from a basic clog is the diagonal stitch design.

The Zermatt comes in an unlined version, but for winter use, the sherpa-lined option is crucial. It provides an extra layer of cozy softness to Birkenstock's distinctly comfortable insole and wide toe box.

Best of all is the light gray rough out suede upper. Sure, it will look great with your sweatpants while you cook breakfast, along with your go-to jeans during weekend errands.

Mulo Suede-Trimmed Shearling-Lined Recycled-Wool Slippers

It doesn't get much easier than just sliding your feet right into these shearling-lined slippers from Mulo. The outside is made from a dense recycled wool with a suede trim running along the midsole. Clog style shoes have been a fashion mainstay for a while now and these are the perfect cold weather alternative.

As comfy as these men's slippers are for chilling out at home, the gripped rubber sole make them perfectly capable for venturing out into the world. That'sis great, because once you put them on, you won't want to take them off for any social occasion. The heavy wool upper and shearling lining will keep your feet warm in the elements.

Style them with jeans, chinos, or joggers. The suede-eque texture means that you can wear them the same way you would leather clogs.

Bombas Sunday Slipper

Bombas may be known for great affordable socks, but when you don't plan on leaving the house, put these on your feet instead. The Sunday Slippers are built for pure lounging. We love the ultra soft sherpa, which completely envelops your feet in a warm little blanket while a memory foam footbed cushions every step. There is a light rubber outsole for traction, but it is to flexible that you won't even notice it.

Styling the Sunday Slippers is easy. We suggest your favorite pair of pajamas or some joggers and a well worn old t-shirt. Top off the look with terry cloth or flannel robe and get ready to go nowhere. Keep a pair by your bedside for easy trips to refill your coffee, grab a snack, or just watch the snow fall outside.

Old Navy Sherpa-Lined Puffer Slippers for Men

One tester said this is like wearing a big puffy jacket for your feet. These sherpa-lined slippers from Old Navy are lightweight, super warm, and can handle indoor and outdoor wear equally well. The 100% nylon upper is water resistant, so it can handle some light rain and snow, while the sherpa lining is very soft and warm.

There are five different color options available. Which means that you can keep it low key and versatile with a navy blue or khaki color. However, it is much more fun to go bold with the fire engine red option. We think these make for perfect holiday slippers, whether you're shuffling around the house or gathering together with friends and family. Either way, your feet will be making the rest of your body jealous.

Beckett Simonon Jones Slippers

If your office has a moderate-to-relaxed dress code, then you can in fact wear slippers to work if these are the slippers. Beckett Simonon crafts the Jones Slippers in the same factory, by the same artisans as the high end boots and dress shoes you're probably more familiar with. That makes these close enough to a dress shoe for business casual and social occasions.

The nubuck upper is velvety soft and gives the appearance of a plain toe loafer. Yet, the inside is all slipper with a soft sherpa lined footbed and a cushioned midsole. You can style these like a mule with jeans or dress pants. Of course, you can also just lounge around your home in them. The Jones Slippers are comfortable enough and stylish enough to be your go-to shoes this winter.

Moccasin: Distinguished by the way that the top panel of the toe box is stitched to the side panel, this design has come to be called a "moc toe," being short for moccasin, and can be found in everything from loafers to work boots. Moccasin slippers are what we most often think of as traditional slippers. They're often made from soft and flexible leather. You typically find a lace the threads around the back of the heel and through four holes punched in the tongue.

Mule: With origins dating back to the medieval France, a mule is essentially any shoe without a back, allowing for the foot to slip easily in and out. This ease-of-use feature fits naturally with slippers. A mule slipper can be anything from a moccasin or loafer design, to a fleece or wool house slipper.

Soft sole/house: House slippers are generally defined by having a soft sole that will not scuff wood floors or collect dirt. Soft soles are also more comfortable for lounging around. Moccasin-style house slippers usually have leather soles, while most other designs have fabric soles. Sometimes, small rubber griping is added for traction.

Dress: There are slippers that aren't designed for lounging at all, and are actually meant for formalwear and even black tie. Dress slippers often have a leather sole and heel. The uppers can be fabric—like needlepoint, velvet, or wool—or they can be leather. You will often find them with ornate designs like florals or paisley. This style is based on formal men's shoes from the 1700s.

Fabric: The best men's slippers are all about comfort, so you want light and soft fabrics. Fleece, wool, and soft leathers are the most common options. All of these materials will flex with your feet and are usually soft to the touch. If you're going for an indoor and outdoor slipper, make sure the material is water resistant. Stick to thicker wools, higher quality leather, and nylon.

Traction: House slippers feature soft soles which don't always have any traction built in. This is fine for the house, but if you plan on wearing your slippers outdoors, look for a rubber outsole. If you have hard wood floors at home, you should have a rubber outsole on your house slippers as well to avoid slipping.

Liner: Winter is slipper season, which means you want your slippers to be nice and warm. Look for fleece or shearling liners that lock your body heat without retaining sweat. Natural wool liners have the added benefit of being antimicrobial, which will fight off odor.

Opening: Ideally, the best men's slippers don't require any lace tying. You should be able to slip you feet in and out with minimal effort. Look for slippers with wider openings, with a backless mule being the easier option of all.
