Birdies The Phoebe Slipper: These are an elevated house slipper, with a surprisingly cushioned insole and a soft faux-fur lining that felt luxurious. However, I found that the toe box was narrow and pinched my feet after just a few minutes. The Sorel Nakiska Slide II Slippers nail it on three core features of house slippers: They’re an easy-wear slip-on style, they’re extremely warm and they cradle the foot without being restrictive. The straightforward slide construction means you don’t have to worry about a precise fit—as you would with, say, a moccasin style—and I found these ran true-to-size and were a standard width. While these house slippers’ arch support and cushioning were not as springy as the Kuru Draft Slippers (see below), they do have moderate cushioning at the arch in the molded EVA foam footbed, so feet don’t collapse inward. The footbed is also removable, so you can wipe it down and let it air-dry if it gets smelly or if you’d prefer to use orthotics or your own insoles. The faux-fur lining is toasty warm, and I liked that the lining wraps over the upper at the top of the foot, helping to alleviate any rubbing that can occur during walking with some other slip-ons. The Crocs Classic Lined Clogs are an all-around solid choice for easy wear and easy care at a wallet-friendly price point. I loved that they required no break-in time, and the shape of the clog-slipper followed the natural shape of my foot, so my toes could spread out without being pinched at the end of the day when they were swollen from standing all day. The brand’s Croslite foam—a closed-cell resin—felt bendy and lightweight and gave just the right amount of arch support. However, I’d have preferred if they were slightly more springy. The soft poly liner made them cozy, and the open holes across the bridge of the Crocs made them highly breathable, so my feet didn’t get sweaty. The Apparis Astro Slippers are made from the same silky faux fur that makes up the gorgeous coats the vegan brand is known for. Putting these slippers on is like wrapping your cold, tired feet in a fluffy, ultrasoft blanket. They are seriously warm, although the material was minimally breathable and did cause my feet to sweat when moving around the house tidying up. They’re a bit wider than some other slippers, so they gave my end-of-the-day swollen feet relief from restrictive flats and allowed my toes room to comfortably spread out.The simple act of putting on slippers at the beginning or end of the day is the beginning of a healthy self-care routine,” says self-care expert and pharmacist Dr. Alisha Reed. It’s an investment in both your foot health and mental health, she points out, which is ultimately less expensive over the long term than a spa day or weekly manicure. “In terms of slipper fit, first consider your lifestyle, activity level, foot structure and the surfaces you’ll be wearing it on,” says Dr. Madhuri Mehta, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon at Gotham Footcare. Here’s what else to take into consideration: Warmth And Breathability

Minnetonka Cally Slipper: I like that these slippers were affordable and come in regular and wide widths. But when wearing them, they slightly rubbed across the bridge of my foot and at my ankle, and the fit wasn’t exactly right—they’d slide off my heel when walking, despite being snug in the length.
