We Tested Over 40 Slippers and Spoke to Experts. These Are the 15 Best Slippers for Men

Our top pick for the slipper with the best arch support is the Vionic Gustavo Slipper, thanks to its high-quality materials and supportive structure. “Personally, I recommend brands that balance structure with comfort. The OluKai Moloā Slipper and Vionic Gustavo are excellent examples,” says Dr. Daniels. The slipper has contoured arch support, a deep heel cup for stability, shock-absorbing cushioning, and forefoot flexibility.

The Gustavo Slippers are podiatrist-recommended and have the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance. These smart-looking loafer-style slippers are fashioned from suede, a comfy faux shearling–covered foam insole, and a durable rubber sole, so you can wear them outside if you like. It’s worth noting that these fit like a regular shoe, not like a looser house slipper, so accurate sizing is needed for a proper fit.

Our pick for the best gripper is the Bombas Gripper Slipper, thanks to its grippy bottom that helps prevent falls and its overall comfortable design. “This makes it a safe pick for anyone concerned about slipping on slick household surfaces,” says Daniels. These pull-on slippers are like souped-up socks — warm and breathable, so they’re unlikely to make you overheat, with a cushioned footbed, and grippy bottoms. There’s no arch support, so they may not be ideal for those who require a more orthopedic slipper.

Bombas Gripper Slippers come in several colors and patterns and are available in medium, large, or extra large, so if you’re shopping for someone whose size you’re not certain about, the less exact fit can simplify the process. Spencer Ziegler, who tested these for us, said these slippers are ideal for “those with hardwood floors that are a bit cold and slippery.” 

The Draper Slipper comes in a unisex design in either beige or black — simple and elegant. These slippers feel soft and comfortable, thanks to the faux fur exterior and lining and squishy memory foam footbed. The Draper Slipper is definitely an indoor house shoe and aren’t made for a lot of activity. When considering if they’re the right slipper for you or a loved one, you’ll want to consider how active you’ll be in your slippers. Be aware that this slipper offers less structure than some other brands.

Editor Ashley Ziegler loved the soft feel and deep, comfy footbed. “The footbeds are super cushy,” she said. However, the generous cushioning may not be ideal for people with some foot conditions that require a firmer sole. In order to keep the faux fur feeling its softest, you’ll want to avoid washing these slippers in the washing machine. 

“For men spending extensive time on hard floors, a sturdy arch is essential. The Cruz Genuine Suede Clog Slipper stands out for its structured footbed at a value price,” says Daniels. The suede clog gives the budget slipper a luxury look, and it has an easy slip-on design and a rubber outsole for indoor and outdoor use.

This slipper is great for “anyone looking for a hard-wearing slipper-moc that doesn’t break the bank,” said tester Rob Bunker. The fuzzy insole is warm and cozy, but it may feel too warm in the summer. While it offers some arch support, it may not provide enough for those who need custom orthotics or have specific arch needs. 

These Nike ReactX Rejuven8 slides are an excellent fit for someone who has wide feet because the footbed is open-toed, wide, and appropriately cushy. The entire slide is made from Nike’s ReactX foam, wrapping your feet in squishy, bouncy material. There’s also a rubber outsole to help keep a grip on slippery surfaces. These slides are more like gym or shower slides, so you can wear them as indoor slippers or outdoors.

The ReactX Rejuven8 slides come in a wide range of sizes, from men’s 6 to 15, which is larger than common in standard sizing. Shoppers also have a choice between seven colors, so it’s simple to find a pair that goes with the fitness apparel or pajamas you’re most likely to be wearing when you slip them on.

Before testing the Alo Recovery Slippers, I was a little skeptical about whether they would feel noticeably different from other slippers I’ve had and liked before. It turns out that they were the most comfortable slippers I’d ever worn, and I noticed that my often achy feet felt significantly better. These slippers felt durable and solid, and after several months of daily wear, they looked and felt as good as new. While I chose not to wear them outside of my home, they’re stylish enough to wear with athletic clothes or jeans and a cute top.

It’s worth noting that when I found myself chasing my toddler while wearing them, the lack of backstrap made them feel a little less secure. At $175, these are pricey for indoor shoes, even if you can wear them outdoors as well. Overall, I really appreciated both the secure and cozy feel of these slippers and noticed positive differences in how my body felt and moved in these compared with other slippers I tested. 

“These shoes were comfortable. They felt good on my feet,” said our tester. The slippers are roomy, which may be helpful for people who suffer from swollen feet. These shoes are also waterproof. Our tester found that they are good in the shower and to wear all the time. The bottom has traction to prevent slips and falls. They have holes, making them better suited for wearing outside during warmer months. 

Our pick for the best memory foam clogs is the Dearfoam Brendan Microfiber Suede Clog, thanks to its cushioned memory foam design that contours to your feet and provides cozy warmth. “Dearfoams’ Brendan Clog stands out for its breathability and supportive memory foam — ideal for those seeking comfort without overheating,” says Daniels. The clog-like slip-on features a microfiber suede or quilted upper and a fuzzy interior with a memory foam cushioned insole. The sole is made of rubber, making them a solid slipper to wear outside. If you have a wider foot or bunions, you’ll be delighted to know that these slippers come in wide widths. When it’s time to clean the slippers, simply pop them in the washing machine.

“These are comfortable; they feel really soft on the bottoms of my feet,” said our tester Ian Smit. However, they may be more ideal for the colder months. “My feet did get sweaty when I wore them during warmer weather, but they really aren’t too bad considering the fuzzy lining,” he added. 

Our pick for the best insulated men’s slipper is the UGG Ascot Loafer Slipper, thanks to its high-quality materials and a design that keeps feet warm. “For a more traditional look, the UGG Ascot remains a solid choice, provided it offers enough arch support for your foot type,” Daniels explains. These slippers feature a cozy, warm lining made from upcycled wool and other materials that feel like sheepskin. It also has a cushy foam footbed and a water-repellent suede exterior. With their durable rubber soles, they can be worn inside or outside. It comes in several neutral colors, such as black, grey, and chestnut. 

Every material involved in the making of these handmade wool slippers is natural and biodegradable. The 100-percent felted wool upper and footbed are breathable and light, even in the summertime. “These are comfortable, though they don’t have any arch support,” said editor Katie Tuttle. These slippers don’t have a hard rubber sole, so they should only be worn indoors. They make the perfect gift for eco-conscious loved ones. Kyrgies is committed to sustainability: It partners with a factory in Kyrgyzstan that uses only locally sourced wool, pays employees a living wage, and donates a percentage of its profits to environmental groups. 

Our top pick for the best affordable men’s slippers is the Amazon Essentials Men’s Memory Foam Moccasin Slippers, thanks to its comfortable, functional design at a budget-friendly price. “An affordable favorite, this moccasin combines accessibility with functional comfort. Just ensure the tread is adequate for your flooring,” says Daniels. These classic moccasin-style slippers feature a faux suede upper, faux leather insole, cozy and warm faux fur lining, and comfortable memory foam cushioning.

The sole is made of a thin rubber, so while these aren’t for the outdoors, you can safely wear them if you need to go outside. “These are very comfortable; they have a faux fur interior that’s very soft, and the rubber outsole feels sturdy enough that I can walk around the yard in them,” said our tester Ian Smit. The only potential downsides are the limited arch support and the lining that may feel too warm during the summer months. 

Our top choice for the best indoor-outdoor slipper is the Nike ACG Rufus, thanks to its durable outsole and sneaker-like slip-on design. (Fun fact: ACG stands for “All Conditions Gear.”) “If you want one pair that transitions inside and out, this is a reliable choice,” says Daniels. The sole is made from rubber and has a grippy tread, making these a go-to pair of outdoor slip-ons. “These would be nice slippers for those that are used to the fit and style of basketball shoes,” says tester Spencer Ziegler. These shoes are solid yet breathable, so your feet won't overheat. Still, some might find these too warm for the summer months.

Our pick for the best versatile men’s slipper is the OluKai Moloā, with its structured, high-quality design and versatile fold-down heel. Daniels regularly recommends these slippers to his patients. “[They] offer arch support, quality materials, and a firm sole suitable for both indoor use and quick steps outdoors,” he explains. Thanks to the unique fold-down heel, you can wear them like a shoe or a slip-on. In addition to arch support, there’s a cushy gel insert and a removable, washable wool footbed cover. These premium leather slippers have the look of an outdoor shoe (with their rubber soles) and the warm comfort of a household slipper. 

These cloudlike slippers are an excellent option for outdoorsmen who love hiking, fishing, and camping and want to be sure their toes stay toasty when they’re relaxing out in the wild. These slippers are lightweight and waterproof, with a nylon upper that can be pulled tight with a drawstring cord for an adjustable fit, and the puffy, insulated nylon outer layer makes these look (and feel) like puffer jackets for your feet. However, if you end up in a mud puddle, it’s not recommended to toss them in the washing machine. Instead, spot clean and air-dry.

While these are indoor-outdoor shoes, if you plan on wearing them outside be aware that they definitely look like you’re wearing slippers — outside. It’s worth noting that these are zero-drop slippers (completely flat), so there’s no arch support. In addition, the unstructured puffy nylon upper may not be suitable for men who need more foot support.

Our pick for the slipper with the best cushioning is the RockDove Original Two-Tone Memory Foam Slipper, thanks to its incredibly cushy footbed. “RockDove’s memory foam delivers exceptional cushioning for tired or achy feet. I recommend this style for those who want soft comfort, as long as the sole stays firm,” says Daniels. These slippers feature a breathable waffle-knit upper made of 95-percent cotton and 5-percent spandex, ensuring your feet stay cool and comfortable. “These slippers are equipped with comfort footbeds,” said our tester Rob Bunker.
