Support is especially important for standing on your feet all day cleaning or performing chores. Those who prefer a pair of slippers to lounge in for extra warmth may be okay with a less supportive option.

Fur slippers offer optimal warmth and comfort, making them perfect for cold winter nights. For especially brisk evenings, slip on the Ugg Tasman Slippers for an immediate hug from cozy fur. A mix between a clog and a loafer, we found that the Tasman Slippers may feel a bit tight at first because of the thick layer of sheepskin inside. As with all fur-lined Uggs, the fur will eventually flatten and mold to your foot for the perfect fit.

However, this can also make these slippers a bit difficult to slide on the first few times. They can also be difficult to clean because of the suede upper, but the immediate comfort and stylish design earn them our best overall spot.

You’ll have to use your hands to achieve that snug fit. This guarantees that the slippers won’t slip off your feet, and the rubber sole provides proper traction on all surfaces. After a few wears, they become much easier to slide on and off and provide comfort for hours even on days when you are constantly on your feet. However, after six months of wear, we still use our hands to put them on snugly, so these aren't the best slip-on choice.

Because of the thick rubber soles, they feel more like traditional shoes than slippers, which is great for busy days at home or short ventures outside. We love the stylish design, including the brand's signature 'Tasman braid', that can definitely complement any fall or winter outfits, especially with fun colors available like baby pink and cherry red.

These slippers remain extremely comfortable and supportive after six months. Ugg's signature rubber sole remains a consistent and durable choice for performing chairs around the house or even walking outdoors.

If you’re on a tight budget but still want an easy slip-on shoe to wear around the house, Ikea has you covered. The Tasjon slippers are less than $5, come in two neutral colors (gray and white), and are made from 90 percent recycled polyester. Similar to the slippers you would receive at a spa, the plush insole keeps your feet warm but not sweaty, while the rubber sole provides ample traction on all surfaces, even outdoors.

While we did not test these slippers personally, we were impressed by the low price point, spa-like design, and plush lining. We love the idea of buying a few pairs of these slippers to travel with or keep in a guest room. They seem flexible and easy to pack away. However, the light colors do get dirty easily, and we can’t guarantee they will last for years. Plus, they are only available in two sizes, which is limiting. Still, for such a low price, they are great if you’re in a pinch or are preparing to have many house guests.

Clogs offer ample support and are easy to slip on and off. We tested these Birkenstocks which have the brand's iconic cork-latex footbed for three months. These cozy slippers are a great option for indoor and outdoor use. They also offer a bit more support than a traditional slipper, which we love because of the molding on the heel and the thick cork sole. With a shearling lining, they kept our feet warm during the winter but never felt uncomfortable or sweaty. We found that they feel exactly like the traditional Birkenstock clogs, with an added layer of warmth.

The hard sole can take a few days to get used to, but the durability and warmth of this choice make it worth the buy. After three months of daily wear, the lining has matted and worn down by the heel, which is to be expected with constant use. Still, they feel just as comfortable and warm as the first time we wore them.

Unsurprisingly, Ugg makes some of our favorite slippers, including this classic slip-on style, the Scuff Sis Slipper. We tested these slippers for four weeks and were blown away by how comfortable they were and how well they fit.

As with all Uggs, they may feel a bit snug at first, however, as you wear them, the fur mats down and contours to your foot for a perfect fit. After six months of wear, we found the stretching minimal and the fit consistently perfect. Other Uggs tend to feel heavy, but we found these to be rather lightweight, causing us to forget we even had them on.

The thick fur lining and rubber sole provided plenty of support and traction when walking on hardwood, tile, carpet, and even concrete. We found them to be extremely comfortable, despite not having dedicated arch support. We wore them for about 4 hours a day and had no complaints.

The combination of the plush fur and open back makes these equally warm and breathable. While you definitely can wear socks, we did not wear any when testing these and found the cozy slippers warmed us up in a half hour or so. These stylish slippers are available in classic brown and black, or bright pink and purple—something to appeal to everyone.

Buying for a picky teen? These trendy and comfortable slipper slides from Ugg are perfect for any occasion. Some slippers are strictly for the indoors, but these Uggs are stylish and can be worn outside as well. The sandal-slipper hybrid is made of shearling and has a one-inch platform.

But don't worry about the added height, the outsole is lightweight and not clunky. The shearling fabric comes in many colors, so there's something for all styles and preferences. The open-toed design combined with the warm fur makes for a breathable shoe that can easily be warmer with a pair of socks.

Also, though these are slingbacks, there's a convenient elastic strap that fits snugly behind your heel but doesn’t irritate the skin. This is great if you have a slightly narrow foot, are in between sizes, or are on the go. There is no need to worry about the shoes slipping off as you walk. Ugg has notoriously high-quality slippers, but these don’t offer the same arch support as a more adult-friendly model like the Tasman slipper, making them perfect for younger kiddos. They are also available in kids’ and toddler sizes.

Sometimes, the only thing standing between you and pain-free feet is proper arch support. For ample support from a trusted brand, we love the Vionic Gemma slippers. In addition to cushioned orthotic terrycloth footbeds, they're also treated to resist food odors over time.

A velcro strap on the side makes these slippers adjustable so they fit your foot perfectly. After adjusting once, we slipped them on and they stayed put for the whole day. The strap is also a great option for pregnant women whose shoe size may fluctuate. We found these comfortably warm, even with an open back, but on super cold nights (below 50 degrees Fahrenheit), we recommend adding a pair of socks. Our only complaint is that they can’t be washed in the washing machine and the light-colored terrycloth might stain easily.

If you love a cozy slipper on a cold night but always find yourself sweaty after a few hours, these slippers we tested are for you. The material is 100 percent Turkish cotton, which is similar to a towel, so it will absorb your feet’s moisture making them ideal for stepping out of the shower. We found that these never felt sweaty or uncomfortable, but we would reach for another slipper on particularly chilly winter days.

Parachute recommends washing these slippers with towels, and we found this hack works excellently. The slippers came out of the wash looking and smelling fresh. The slip-on style mimics slippers you may find at a spa, which brings some spa-like luxury into your daily routine.

One thing to note is that the sizing does not go by shoe sizes. Each size spans a few traditional shoe sizes, so you may end up getting a pair that is slightly too big. While we love the sleek look, absorbent nature, and easy washing instructions, we did find that they slipped a lot during the day. They’re also not exceptionally supportive—another reason they are best for working from home or lounging.

The most supportive slippers we tested, the Vionic Relax Slippers, triumph in their adjustable design that makes it easy to get a perfect fit each time. The open-toed design is not the warmest, but the terrycloth sole and upper provide soft comfort that is suitable for year-round use. In the winter, we recommend adding a pair of warm socks and because the upper adjusts with a velcro enclosure, you can put on thick, furry ones with ease.

Vionic’s iconic orthotic footbed felt like walking on a thick, plush carpet with every step. We were stunned by the impressive arch support that was hard to find in other slippers we tested. The midsole and outsole keep your feet supported without pain even when walking for hours, performing chores, or cooking dinner. The adjustability is also a game-changer for pregnant women whose foot size may fluctuate over time.

We keep coming back to these slippers after six months. The support remains unparalleled with other brands and the adjustable design ensures they stay snug on your feet for hours. Also, the terrycloth looks as good as new.

When paying a high price for name-brand slippers, finding an option that looks stylish and can be worn both indoors and outdoors is key. The beloved Ultra Mini Fashion Boots from Ugg are that perfect combination. These boots take the classic Ugg silhouette and make it mini. For indoor use, the slipper envelops your whole foot in warm fur. We recommend you add a pair of chic socks and wear them with your fall and winter wardrobes.

Our biggest gripe with these slippers is that they are very difficult to get on the first few times you wear them, especially if you have very high arches. Similar to the other Ugg slippers we tested, there is a bit of a break-in period as you wait for the fur to mat and mold to your foot. Once they are on, these slippers are incredibly comfortable. We walked for a full day throughout New York City without an issue.

To keep them in tip-top shape, we recommend spraying them with a protective spray, especially in the case of inclement weather (Ugg makes their own). The rubber bottom provides ample support for carpet, hardwood, and city streets. They also keep your feet warm without feeling sweaty, but we wouldn’t wear them during the spring or summer (though we wish we could because they are so stylish and match almost every outfit).

While we don't reach for these as often as the weather gets warmer, these remain extremely stylish and comfortable. You can definitely wear these for more than one winter season without losing support or comfort.

Shearling is a super soft choice for slippers, plus it gives that classic fuzzy slipper look that we know and love. These tester-approved slippers from Dearfoams come in many adorable colors. The classic slide-on design envelops the front of your foot in plush fur while leaving the back open to regulate your temperature throughout the day.

There is a slight break-in period with the slippers. We found that they initially felt a bit snug due to the plush fur. While this will eventually loosen over time, the snugness does ensure the slippers don’t fall off your feet as you walk, which can be an issue with this style. These slippers have a rubber sole, not quite as thick and supportive as Ugg alternatives, but they still provide ample support for simple tasks and chores around the house.

The lining feels cushioned as you walk, and they don’t feel overly heavy, which we love, but we do anticipate them being difficult to clean. To combat this, we recommend opting for a darker color that won’t attract dirt.

One concern with furry slippers is that they will begin to smell over time. But, after wearing these for six months, we're happy to report that they look and smell just as great as they did upon opening the box. We were also worried about them attracting dirt, but the shearling appears unchanged.

_{Upper Material: Shearling | Lining Material: Shearling | Outsole Material: EVA | Care Instructions: Spot clean}

Moccasins are a great house shoe option because they don’t have a hard sole and keep your feet warm and snug during the snowy season. A leader in the moccasins market, Minnetonka combines comfort and function with the Cally Faux Fur Slippers we loved during testing.

The classic suede design looks sleek and sophisticated but also comes in fun patterns and colors to elevate any work-from-home outfit. We found that they can feel a bit tight when you first put them on, but the break-in period occurs almost instantly as the fur molds to your feet. The snugness also keeps the slippers from falling off as you walk, which we love as opposed to a classic slide style.

As with all moccasins, these are not exceptionally supportive and feel a bit thin on the bottom, but they do have a rubber sole in case you need to run outside. The warm hug these provide mimics a slipper sock more than a hard-bottom option. Because of that, we found we were comfortable wearing these while lounging on a couch or bed, which we can’t say with other, more shoe-like picks.

Because of this, we don't reach for these as often are more supportive slippers after six months of testing, But, we still love them, especially for the winter, when you want a snug slipper that stays on your feet and provides warmth.

Sometimes furry slippers can lead to sweaty feet and dirty shoes with no way to get clean. Enter memory foam slippers from RockDove. When sliding these on, we could instantly feel the memory foam waiting to cushion our feet. The malleable material made these the easiest to slip on and off, which is great for busy parents constantly on the go. While they keep their shape impeccably, you could easily compress this pair for easy storage in a suitcase or closet.

While the plush memory foam feels great as you walk, these don’t have the support of a thick rubber sole, which we definitely noticed, so these are best for a homebody who wants a bit more support than bare feet. We would not recommend wearing these outdoors, but if that happens, you’ll be happy to know that these are easily machine-washable. They also offer a lot of warmth without making you feel uncomfortable. The cushioned design also allows for any thickness of socks to be worn.

After six months, these slippers look nearly identical to how they looked during our first wear. Though not the most supportive slippers on our list, the memory foam remains plush and comfortable for everyday wear.

We tested the men’s version of the Wicked Good Moccasins from L.L. Bean and they live up to their name. With thick fur on the inside and outside of the slipper, these moccasins are an excellent choice for cold climates or friends who always complain about their feet being chilly. The classic moccasin design comes with a lamb fur opening waiting for your feet to slide in for a warm feel that is not uncomfortable.

There was no break-in period; they were effortless to slip on and off immediately out of the box. One thing to note is that we found them a bit wide, so they’re an awesome option for wide feet. Otherwise, consider sizing down so they stay snug on your foot as you move. Plus, the fur will naturally mat over time, so don’t worry if they feel a bit tight at first.

If you live in a warm place and just want a shoe to wear around the house, opt for an open-toed slipper like these pillow slides. As the name suggests, these have a ton of cushioning, which we found can make you feel a bit unbalanced at first. Once you get used to the height, you’ll find a bounce in your step as you walk.

The slide design is convenient for walking both indoors and outdoors, and they have ample traction on all surfaces. These TikTok-viral slippers come in tons of funky colors and are less expensive than the many options we tried. However, don’t expect these to be warm. If you want to be cozy and warm, you can always add a pair of cozy socks for the best of both worlds.

After months of testing, we discovered these slippers are not the most durable. If you plan to wear these for hours every day, they'll begin to bend and may tear slightly. Still, for such an affordable price, we think they're great for the summer months.

For ultimate convenience, choose a slip-on quilted slipper from Naot. We tested these for months during the summer and winter and felt equally comfortable in all seasons. The open back keeps them breathable in the summer, and there is plenty of room to add a pair of socks in the winter. The memory foam footbed was comfortable when we walked around the house for hours and the fleece upper kept our feet warm.

The quilted design adds style to these slippers and also makes them feel softer to the touch than other suede or fur-lined options like Ugg Tasman Slippers or the L.L. Bean Wicked Good Moccasins. They might feel a bit heavy at first, but we found they were lightweight and comfortable for day-long wear and did not easily slip off our feet.

After months of testing, they look and feel as good as new, but we aren’t confident they would be easy to clean. However, this has not become a problem yet. After six months, they still look and smell clean. We continually love the support and soft upper that feels like a hug for your foot.

If none of the slippers so far spoke to your fashion sense, we got you covered. Don’t sacrifice style with your next slipper purchase with the Birdie Phoebe Faux Fur Mule. Crafted with sophisticated vegan velvet, the attractive house shoes are lined with faux fur for a traditional cozy slipper feel. Because they have an open back, we expect they won’t be exceptionally warm (especially when worn outdoors), but you can also add a pair of cute socks for a winter look.

Birdie’s shoes have a 7-layer footbed for optimal comfort, but be aware that these do come with a small 15 mm heel. This is rather small compared to other brands like Birkenstock which have a 26 mm heel and the Bronax Pillow slides, which have the highest heel of 1.7 inches. Thus, we found these may be better for a “shoe that feels like a slipper” rather than the other way around. They come in black or cream, so you can guarantee they’ll match everything, and for a bit more money you can add a monogram, which is a great option for a personalized gift.

Final Verdict

We loved the stylish design of the UGG Tasman Slipper, earning them our best overall spot. The comfortable fur molds to your foot while still feeling breathable, and we love that they can be worn both indoors and outdoors. To keep your feet warmer in the winter, opt for a shearling option like the Dearfoams Shelly Beach Genuine Shearling Scuff Slippers, which have a rubber outer sole for ultimate durability.

FAQ

• Can you machine wash slippers?

  Yes and no, depending on the material. Basic cotton or wool slippers are easy to throw in the washing machine, usually on a cold cycle and allowing them to air dry. Most other materials need to be spot cleaned. "If they are fuzzy or fabric and you wear them without socks, they may start to have an odor," says Dr. Sutera. She suggests regular cleaning and replacing when the soles start to show signs of wear, which is usually within a year.

• What size slippers should you buy?

  The general rule is to purchase slippers in your normal shoe size. However, some brands don't offer half sizes or the fit runs large or small. Check the manufacturer's size chart and read through any customer reviews to get a general consensus if the fit runs true to size.
