Best house shoes
“House shoes you actually wear?”

Platonic ideal of a supportive yet cozy work-from-home slipper shoe, esp. if you live in an old, drafty house.

I have beef with most slippers: I was a frequently shoeless child, my feet get sweaty really quick, and I just don't see the need for them most of the time. At least I didn't until I got my first pair of Gripper Slippers. Like the name suggests, they're nice little sock-slippers with grippy bottoms. They somehow never make my feet sweaty and they come in fun colors (even a Marvel collab!) I love packing these for hotel trips or when I'm visiting family and they're honestly a great gift for older folks with cold feet. Or young people with hot feet. They even come in kids sizes! I love the Gripper Slipper!

They last forever, go from summer (barefoot) to winter (socks), and are easy to clean (hose em down).

i am a strict take-your-shoes-off when you get in the house person. But I love my indoor shoes. These are shoes that never leave my apartment and only exist for inside. And no, they aren’t slippers. They are specifically these Rothy mules and I don’t know what I would do without them.

perfection
My house shoe, though my actual pair are red. These save me on my old house’s drafty hardwood floors.

I buy a new pair every couple of years. They are my indoor shoe. My floors are concrete so I need a lot of support. I still feel chic wearing them because they’re leather. Don’t make my feet sweat, and I can wear socks with them without a fear of them stretching out. They often have sales on seasonal colors.

Minnetonka Sheepskin Hardsole Slipper
Been rockin these pups for I don’t even KNOW how long and man, my little piggies are always cozy in these. Not too expensive and so worth it. They last forever!

Adult Fireside Sheepskin Slippers
I work a desk job in our basement and the floor is cold in the winter but it’s not a factor with these puppies. And somehow my feet aren’t unbearably hot when I then wear them upstairs where the temperatures are humane? Some kind of magic. I live in them all winter. They also make a rubber-soled version.

I recommend ones that, like these from Muji, are made from cotton (for better moisture-wicking without risking mildew) and have a hard sole (for dorm hallways).

I love my Baggu slippers and they’re very on sale right now! Easy to wash, simple to slide on and off. Not the grippiest but they do the trick for me. Perfect amount of fluff for comfort without feeling like I’m wearing shoes.

i've tried many a slipper and these are by far my favorite in function (they don't make my feet too sweaty) and style (they are bright and pop around the house!!!)
These are ugly sandals. BUT....they are unbelievably comfy. My favorite house slippers! Better yet, they've cured me of foot neuropathy! I will never NOT have a pair!
The ugly-wonderful slippers I look forward to putting on every morning.
halfway between a slipper and a sock. really a sock that performs the job of a slipper. squishy soft with grippy bits on the bottom. the comfiest ever.

keeps your floors and your feet clean, and it's cozy besides. a friend got me a pair of glerups and it's hard to go back from that

Glerups - Shoe with leather sole - Grey
I basically live in these. On my second pair. About to get a third but can’t decide if I should stick with grey or try a new color.

soft WITH arch support - what more could you want!
Birkenstock Boston - Wool Felt
One thing my tiny European grandmother taught me was to always have a good pair of house shoes. The Wool Felt Birkenstock Bostons are an amazing option if you’re looking for a slightly cheaper alternative to the suede. A huge bonus is these are sturdy and keep their shape, unlike their suede sister. If you’re sick of doing toe crunches to put your Bostons on, I’d recommend these!
Stegmann Women's Original 108 Wool Clog
I find these to be super supportive and relatively sturdy - great for running errands or puttering around the house - with socks, without socks. Not waterproof, obviously, but they're solid and have lasted me 6 years so far with basically no wear.

Women's Alyssa Sheepskin Scuff Slippers
Overland makes the most luxurious slippers. Great for padding around the house, even in warmer weather.

Generic Uggs: just as warm, half the price. My ankles have never been toastier.
Seriously, the best slippers. Wool that breathes so they're both warm in winter and cool in summer. Can't recommend enough.
