Best Slippers for Women and Men
Finally, the season of cosy home slippers is here! When the temperature drops, the first thing your feet notice is the floor. Trainers come off at the door, and whatever you slip into next is what your feet live in for the rest of the evening. The best slippers do more than look cosy: they keep warmth in, cushion every step on hard floors and hold their shape wear after wear. Here is our guide to the best slippers for women and men this winter, with tips on what to look for before you choose.
Key takeaways
- The best slippers combine a warm lining, cushioning that keeps its shape and a sole that suits where you wear them.
- Every pair in this guide is built on a cushioned Skechers Memory Foam footbed, and our Hands Free Slip-ins styles add the Heel Pillow so you step in without bending down.
- Indoor/outdoor soles turn a slipper into footwear that handles the doorstep, the garden path and beyond.
- Relaxed Fit, washable and supportive options mean comfort does not come with compromises.
Best slippers for women

Hands free Slip-ins slippers
Step in without bending down! Skechers Slip-ins Relaxed Fit: Cozy Escape - Frosty Bliss cuddles feet in a 3M Scotchgard treated suede upper with faux-fur trim and lining, over a cushioned Skechers Memory Foam footbed. Our Heel Pillow holds your heel in place the moment you step in, no hands needed. For something more playful, Skechers Slip-ins: BOBS Cozy Kiss - Meow PJs pairs the same hands-free comfort with a cat face vamp and an indoor/outdoor sole, so quick trips outside are covered too.
Faux-fur lined favourites
Are you ready for the ultimate warmth for cold evenings? BOBS Cozy Chill - Snug Steps wraps a genuine suede upper in soft faux-fur trim and lining, with an indoor/outdoor sole and a plush Memory Foam footbed underfoot. Prefer a touch of character?

Lightweight Keepsakes Lite styles

BOBS Keepsakes Lite - Fuzzy Dreams rounds out the family.
Best house slippers for men
After the best slippers for men to live in at home? Our house slippers for men lead with warmth and a roomier fit: every pick here is cut Relaxed Fit, roomier through the forefoot, with a soft faux fur lining and a cushioned Luxe Foam footbed. Whether you call them home slippers or house slippers, these are the pairs to reach for on repeat.
Hands free Slip-ins and Relaxed Fit slippers for men
Skechers Slip-ins Relaxed Fit: Murette - Scofield keeps it laid back: a roomy slip-on with a soft microfiber upper, moc toe and faux fur lining over a Luxe Foam footbed. Our Heel Pillow holds your heel as you step in, no hands needed, and it comes in chestnut, tan and black.
Relaxed Fit: Renten - Ulrich is a casual vegan slipper with a roomy faux suede upper, geo stitched trim and a soft faux fur lining, with a cushioned Luxe Foam footbed supporting every step; choose tan or black.
The comfort technologies inside our slippers
Every pair above shares the same foundations. A cushioned footbed, Skechers Memory Foam in our women's picks and Luxe Foam in the men's, contours to your foot from the first wear, softening hard floors through evenings on your feet; it is why a supportive slipper beats a flat one, the same thinking behind orthopaedic slippers and slippers with arch support.
Our Hands Free Slip-ins styles add the Heel Pillow, a padded cradle that holds your heel so you step in without bending down. Relaxed Fit styles are cut roomier through the forefoot, the fit to try if you normally look for wide fit slippers. And the warmth itself comes from the same approach as our Cozy Fit technology: soft insulating linings paired with cushioning built for cold months.
What to look for in slippers
Whichever style you choose, five things separate slippers that last from slippers that flatten by January:
- Warmth that breathes. A plush faux-fur lining keeps heat in on cold floors; a breathable upper stops the same pair overheating when the radiators are on.
- Cushioning that keeps its shape. The footbed should compress and recover wear after wear, not pack down within weeks.
- The right fit. A secure heel, room for your toes and no gripping to keep them on. If you are between sizes or have a broader foot, Relaxed Fit and wide fit slippers give you room without letting the heel slip.
- The right sole. Slippers and house shoes sit on a spectrum: soft flexible soles for carpet, hard sole slippers and indoor/outdoor styles with grippy outsoles for tiles, stairs and quick trips outside. Match the sole to your habits.
- Easy care. Washable slippers and removable insoles stay fresh through daily wear. Air pairs between wears and keep them off the radiator when drying.
FAQ
The warmest winter slippers pair a plush faux-fur lining with a cushioned footbed, so they insulate against cold floors while cushioning every step. Our faux-fur lined Slip-ins and BOBS styles are built exactly for this, and an indoor/outdoor sole means one pair handles the sofa and the doorstep alike.
House shoes are the broader category: indoor footwear with more structure and usually a proper outsole, made for people who are on their feet at home. Slippers are the softer, cosier end of the range. Indoor/outdoor styles sit in between, pairing a slipper upper with a sole that copes outside.
Neither. A good slipper holds your heel securely, gives your toes room to move and stays on without gripping. If slippers always feel tight across the ball of your foot, try a Relaxed Fit or wide fit style rather than sizing up, so the comfort stays in the right place.
Slippers with arch support can be good for your feet. A contoured, cushioned footbed supports the shape of your foot, which completely flat slippers do not, and helps spread pressure more evenly if you spend long stretches on hard floors. For ongoing foot pain, including plantar fasciitis, we recommend speaking to a GP or podiatrist.
Check the care label first. Suede uppers like our Scotchgard treated styles want a soft brush rather than a wash, while many fabric pairs have machine washable uppers or removable insoles. For everything else, a mild soap solution lifts most marks; air dry away from radiators and direct heat.
