Not only do these slippers offer pain relief — they also slip on easily, so you won’t need to bend down to put on your slippers ever again. And they’re not just clogs; these cover the whole foot, including the heel, for extra warmth and support. The orthotic insoles encourage correct posture and provide anatomical arch support to the feet. “In patients with high arches, the heel may rotate inward, increasing the risk of ankle sprains,” says Cook. “Proper support from shoes or orthotics helps maintain correct foot alignment. Slippers that do not provide adequate support are not recommended, as they can contribute to instability and discomfort.”
“This would be perfect for people who do not wear slippers because they typically find slippers aren’t supportive enough for some reason, whether that being arthritis, bunions, slipping issues, not enough traction, etc.,” says writer Raki Swanson, who tested them. “This is the slipper shoe for that person.”
The slippers work both indoors and outdoors, with slip-resistant soles and a water-repellant upper. They’re available in sizes 5 through 12, in four different neutral shades, and there are three widths to choose from. “You can wear this slipper for hours and hours,” Swanson adds. “Your feet do not get sweaty, while they remain just the right amount of warm. They are very comfortable and do support you when you need it. This is going to be a slipper I wear in the winter when I go outside, if I don't want to put on my boots.”

With a vegan, eco-conscious faux fur upper and a natural cork and thermoplastic rubber sole, these slippers can be used both indoors and outdoors. “They’re super comfortable,” says editor Ashley Ziegler, who tested these out. “I love the arch support.” She adds that these would be great for someone with high arches. They’re available in women’s sizes 6 through 11, in gorgeous colors like bark, camo, coal, and snow. It should be noted that these slippers do not cover the heel, so they may provide less stability than other slippers. They are also only available in women’s sizes.

Best for Warmth
Overland Women’s Alyssa Sheepskin Scuff Slippers With Arch Support
Pros
- Made of extra warm merino sheepskin
- Arch support and memory foam midsole
- Comfortable while standing for long periods
- Can be worn indoors or outdoors
Cons
- May be too warm for some
- No heel coverage
- Limited colors
Key Specs
- Style: Clog
- Material: Merino sheepskin upper, EVA outsole
- Available colors: Chestnut, black cherry, gray, bluejay
- Indoor or outdoor: Both
This indoor/outdoor pair is made with toasty-warm 100 percent Australian merino sheepskin. These soft, fluffy slippers will keep your feet warm all winter long. They offer arch support and a memory foam midsole for comfort and stability.
“The sheepskin is so darn soft and comfortable, you wish you were wearing this as a blanket,” Swanson says. “They are very comfortable to stand in for long periods of time, mostly due to the extra cushion that has been added.” She adds that these slippers can get a little too warm at times, especially if you’re exercising or the weather gets warm. We also want to point out that these do not offer heel coverage, so if that’s what you’re looking for, these may not be the slippers for you.

Best for After a Workout
Alo Recovery Slipper
Pros
- Structured and supportive
- Attractive
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor wear
- Unisex style
Cons
- No half sizes available
- No covered heel
- Priciest slippers on our list
Key Specs
- Style: Clog
- Material: Suede upper, faux fur lining, recovery foam insole, rubber outsole
- Available colors: Black, espresso, ivory, saddle
- Indoor or outdoor: Both
“These slippers are extremely comfortable, though not in a way that when you slip into them they feel super cozy or overly plush,” says women’s health writer Julia Pelly, who compares them to a supportive mattress as opposed to a soft one. “They are firm and heavy, but really comfortable.” Pelly praises them for their functionality and style, saying they’d look good with a lot of different outfits, if worn out of the house. They’re structurally sound and suitable to wear both in the home and out running errands or going to grab coffee after a workout.
“They would work well for people who are very active and need a slipper that can either be active with them or give the support and comfort needed to feel strong and solid after a good workout,” says Pelly. “If someone asked me what slippers I imagine Olympic gymnasts wear between routines, I would guess it’s these!” These don’t provide a covered heel, since they’re a clog-style shoe. They’re also not available in half sizes, so take that into account when ordering. We also found in our research that they run big, so you may want to size down.

Slippers make for a fantastic gift, and these ones from Land’s End are so attractive that the recipient may even want to show them off outside the house too. They’re available in women’s, men’s, and kids’ sizes (so you can incorporate them with your matching holiday PJs), and they can be monogrammed to make the gift even more personal. They offer a comfy, cushioned foam insole for arch support, as well as a rubberized outsole for structure and grip. We also like that they have a covered back for more stability than clog-style slippers often provide.
“They’re very comfortable and warm,” says editorial director Simone Scully, who testing them. “I love wearing them around the house ... and they stay on your feet well (since they have a back), so they’re convenient when working at a desk.” Scully notes that these slippers run on the small side, so keep that in mind when ordering them, especially if you plan to wear them with socks.

Best for Wide Feet
Dearfoams Men’s Brendan Microfiber Suede Clog With Whipstitch Slippers
Pros
- Wide sizes available
- Memory foam footbed for extra comfort
- Structured sole for indoor or outdoor wear
- Several colors available
Cons
- May be too warm during hotter weather
- Heel doesn’t offer full coverage
Key Specs
- Style: Clog
- Material: Microsuede or quilted upper, fleece interior, rubber outsole
- Available colors: Available in several styles and colors, including black, chestnut, coffee, and plaid
- Indoor or outdoor: Both
This pair ranks as best for wide feet since they’re available in both typical sizes and wide ones, and they are highly structured for both indoor and outdoor use. A mix between a moccasin and a clog, these slippers slide on easily and look nice while either relaxing indoors or running out to the mail, to the grocery store, on a walk with your dog, or wherever the day takes you.
“These are comfortable; they feel really soft on the bottoms of my feet,” Smit says. The memory foam insole adds extra comfort, as does the cozy fleece footbed. Note that while the heel is more covered than the typical clog slipper, these slipplers don’t offer full heel coverage. Smit says that he did sweat in these slippers, despite their moisture-wicking material, though he adds that they really weren’t too hot, considering their fuzzy interior.

Best Contouring
Minnetonka Women’s Tahoe Pattern Knit and Suede Clog Slippers
Pros
- Contour to the foot to reduce rubbing and slipping
- Footbed is removable
- Heavily treaded sole for grip and support
- Plush pile lining
Cons
- Not machine-washable
- Uncovered heel offers less support
Key Specs
- Style: Clog
- Material: Pile lining, rubber and rice husk sole
- Available colors: Black multi, gray multi, brown multi
- Indoor or outdoor: Both
These slippers get more comfortable the more you wear them, as they conform to your foot. This helps them stay on the foot and reduces rubbing and irritation of the heel or foot. “They are so, so comfortable. In fact, they’re my favorite ones of all the slippers I tried,” says Scully. They’re made for both indoor and outdoor wear, with a water- and stain-resistant suede upper and a heavily treaded sole to provide grip and support.
Scully says that these would make great work-from-home slippers. She says that they fit true to size, and they’re available in women’s sizes 5 through 11, in three different colorways. Though the product website doesn’t mention arch support, and the heel isn’t covered, we think that the contouring of the footbed will provide comfort for those with high arches. It’s also important for wearers to know that although the insole is removable, it’s meant to be spot cleaned, not thrown in the washing machine.

Best With Natural Materials
Glerups Slip-On With Natural Rubber Sole
Pros
- Soft wool upper doesn’t irritate
- Choice of natural rubber sole or leather sole
- Hug the feet and provide structure
- Robust color choice
- Minimalist design
Cons
- Heel only partially covered
- Shed over the first month or so of wearing
Key Specs
- Style: Clog
- Material: Wool upper, natural rubber or leather sole
- Available colors: Charcoal, denim, forest, gray, purple, North Sea, cranberry
- Indoor or outdoor: Both
There’s so much I like about these slippers and the Glerups brand overall that it’s hard to know where to start. The upper is 100 percent wool that doesn’t make you itchy. Buyers have lots of colors to choose from, as well as the option to purchase slippers with a natural rubber or leather sole. I’d recommend going with the rubber option for extra stability and the freedom of indoor and outdoor use. I found these very comfortable, as they hug the foot and provide a decent amount of warmth and structure. I also like their very cool, minimalist design.
