Best Slippers for Women
Standout Picks
Criteria Used for Evaluation
Style
Just as there are many different types of sneakers, there are also many different styles of slippers. What we discovered, however, is that a good deal of users seem to flock to two distinctly different styles- the clog design and the moccasin design. The clog design is smart because it gives the user the ease of just slipping it on without anything covering their heel. But it still offers a great deal of warmth with it’s thick closed toe topsole. There are some designs out there on the market with a similar design but just with an open toe- and these are great for users that want something that is a little cooler to wear in warmer climates. The other style people were mostly drawn to was the moccasin design. The reason this design is so popular is that it mirrors that of an actual shoe, but it gives users all of the warmth and comfort of a house shoe. Another reason these styles are so popular is that they typically have a sole that offers a little bit of traction, and is sturdy enough to wear outside to do things like walk the do or check the mail.
Comfort
Let’s face it- comfort is why you are here, aren’t you? You are here with us because you want something that will soothe your aching feet at the end of a long day of adventuring. While materials such as soft and plush fleece and faux fur might feel like a dream when you first slip your foot inside, over time these materials become packed down with use and become a shell of the cloud that they used to be when you took them out of their box. To ensure that they are light and comfortable for years to come, you will want to take a look at what the sole is made from. Many companies opt to place a layer of memory foam between the rubber sole and the top lining- and we think that this is an excellent choice. Memory foam will conform to the shape of your foot over time, and it feels soft and squishy every time you slip your foot inside. We also like when companies took a little time carefully constructing the sole. Some made heels that offered a little extra bounciness with each step, and some even placed a layer of EVA or sponge in the sole to make it feel like your favorite pair of sneakers.
Value
What we discovered when researching the best brands out there on the market is that products that use materials such as real suede, lambskin, or real fur, had price tags that would likely knock your socks off. Sure, these materials are incredibly comfortable and often wear for longer periods than their manufactured faux counterparts, but we just didn’t feel like the huge uptick in price was necessarily worth it. Many athletes- such as rock climbers- don’t feel that manufactured materials such as leather are actually any different from the real thing when dealing with gear such as gloves. We adopted this ideal when searching for the best slippers.
Materials
What we have found during our research is that there are two types of people out there: those that like their house shoes to be loose and sloppy, and those that like them to fit snugly and neat. Therefore, our top choice might not be the right choice for you. We based our decision on the materials used, as well as what the community had to say about each design. Some people don’t like the style that doesn’t have a back to them because they feel they are forever falling off whenever they sit down. Others like something that has a sole that is a little bit more firm so that it can also be used outside. Plus, if you are in a warmer part of the globe, you might not need something that is designed to hold in heat- you might want something that is made from lightweight cotton and that doesn’t have a lot of traction on the sole. Take into consideration the things that you need in your home footwear because everyone is different. While we don’t know what your personal tastes are, we conducted our research for the best slippers on the market by looking at various factors to ensure that no matter what style you select, you are getting the best value and the best materials that will hold up for years to come
Top 10 Picks
1. RockDove Two-Tone
It doesn’t get any better than the RockDove Two-Tone. This pair is made from high-quality materials that will keep your feet warm, but it also has a breathable top sole to keep your feet from becoming overly sweaty.

One of the best parts of this design is that is that it is neutral. If you have company over, you won’t have to feel self-conscious that you are wearing something overly bulky or flashy. Users can select from three different colors that include dark grey, light grey, and red, and they each have an interior that compliments the color of the topsole. These have a closed toe clog-like design, and they don’t have a back so they are easy to slip on and go.
Materials:
The topsole is composed of a waffle knit material that is lined with microfiber that allows your feet to breath while also being incredibly lightweight and comfortable. The sole uses a thick pad of memory foam that will conform to the shape of your foot over time, and it is lined with soft, breathable cotton. The use of all of these simple materials means that to wash them, all you will need to do is throw them into the washing machine on a cool setting and let them air dry.
Value:
The cost of these runs about in the middle of the road- they are the most expensive on the market, but they aren’t the least expensive either. If you want something that uses simple, high-quality materials that don’t pack a painful price tag, these are well worth it.

Materials:
The inside lining of each unit is made from a thick and comfortable faux fur that will feel wonderful against your feet. The topsoil is made from synthetic suede so that is is lightweight and will hold in the heat with ease. The only downside to these suede is that it will leave watermarks and stains that can be a little tricky to remove.

It might not be as comfortable as memory foam, but it will hold its shape much longer.

3. HomeIdeas Moccasins
For those that want something that has just a little bit more structure than the clog designs, moccasins give you more structure along the topsole as well as at the heel. The HomeIdeas design has a sturdy sole that is perfect for wearing indoors, and is firm enough to wear outside- although it won’t give you a lot of added traction.
Read moreDesign:
Users can select from five different colors that include red, black, grey, brown, and dark grey. The faux fur lining of each color choice comes in a bright white- which may show dire more quickly over time, so it is important to keep that in mind. The topsole has a sturdy moccasin design with a suede tie at the top. The sole is a little bit thicker so that it can be worn outside, but the traction along the bottom is designed specifically for traction for indoor use.
Materials:
What makes this design stand out from the crowd is what makes up the sole. This is one of the most comfortable soles out there on the market. It is made up of multiple layers of materials to make your foot always feel comfortable with every step. It has 4 layers of materials that include a layer of memory foam that conforms to your foot, a layer of high elasticity sponge that makes it feel light and springy, a double layer of sponge at the heel where more pressure is typically put, and a layer of EVA cushion for added support. The topsole is made from suede, and the lining uses faux fur that feels comfortable to the touch.
Value:
These will likely set you back about the average price that consumers are willing to pay on these products. It isn’t the most expensive, and it isn’t the least expensive. It will cost you about the same amount that you would spend ordering a pizza for a nice night at home.
Summary:
For those that want something with superior sole comfort, and aren’t overly concerned with looks or the material that makes up the lining- this is going to be a great treat for your feet after the end of a long day of adventuring.

Read moreDesign:

The downside to the bright white lining is that it is going to show dirt pretty fast, so keep that in mind when considering this option.

The only downside to your newfound stealth abilities is that you won’t be able to wear these outside.
Materials:
The topsole is made from coral velvet fabric that is a cross between suede and terry cloth. This material helps keep heat inside without making feet overly sweaty. The inside is lined with a thick layer of bright cotton fleece that feels like placing your feet right into the center of a cloud. The sole is a thinner rubber material that offers users a little bit of spring, and the bottom of the sole offers little traction, but the material is perfect for gripping flat hard surfaces to avoid

If you just want to get your hands on something simple and soft, and you have no intentions of heading out into the cold outdoors even to check your mail- this is a great option at a reasonable price.
