Beraby Cushion Shoe, $149: These indoor slippers are actually made with Bearaby cushions and wrapped in organic cotton. They are very comfortable and comfy enough to wear without socks, and surprisingly they don’t make your feet sweat like most slipper shoes do. They are breathable and machine washable, but must be hung to dry, which may take some time. Sizing is also limited to small, medium and large sizes, with the largest size being a 10.5 for men or a 12.5 for women. The sole isn’t designed for outdoor use, but Bearaby claims it’s comfortable enough for sleeping. (I personally wouldn’t do that.)

Verloop Slide Insoles for $44: Verloop has some of the most colorful designs I’ve tested. Unfortunately, they are flimsy and don’t offer much support, especially if you suffer from plantar fasciitis. Lined with fleece and made with hypoallergenic yarn, they are soft to the touch, but will not keep your feet warm in cold temperatures. I appreciate that they are machine washable. Verloop also sells house socks, which are at least warmer than slippers.

Glerups slip-on shoes with leather sole for $100: These slip-on wool slippers with calfskin soles fit better in a sock than most of the slippers I own, which is why I’ve found myself reaching for them more and more over the past year. The body of the slippers is a half inch of wool knit that is almost like a felt construction and is warm in the winter without being hot in the summer. The wool used is a mix of Danish Jutland sheep and a breed from New Zealand, and I never felt a twinge of itching. Wool is naturally odor-resistant, which is great for slippers, and my pair of Glerups still smell as fresh as the day I got them. —Martin Cizmar

Cozy Earth Lakehouse Clog for $128: The cork design features the popular Birkenstock clog, but unlike Birks, the suede footbed is soft enough to slowly mold underfoot. The felt upper is soft but not particularly warm. They look great and can be worn to the store if you don’t want to commit to them as house shoes. —Martin Cizmar

Cozy Earth Puffy Sheep Slippers for $98: I’m so jealous of my 9-year-old daughter, who has been testing these super-fancy slippers for me, because they’re not available in my size. They put puffy in the name, and in fact, they sound more like cotton balls than sneakers. If you’re looking for spa-ready insoles, these are just the ticket. However, they do have a sturdy rubber sole, so while your feet are covered in super soft sheep fur and wool, you can run to the mailbox and then wipe down the soles. —Martin Cizmar

Lūvons Francesca Black Velvet Loafer, $110: These gorgeous closed-toe loafers are designed with a velvet upper and lined with a faux shearling lining. The OrthoLite footbed with memory foam and built-in arch support is especially valuable for those suffering from plantar fasciitis. They are made with non-slip rubber soles, so they can be worn indoors and outdoors; Plus, it’s machine washable and comes with a mesh laundry bag to do so. Unfortunately, they’re not the most comfortable (partly due to the rigid toe box) despite the flexible side panels meant to stretch with your feet. So, these won’t be my everyday slippers that I wear all day, but the night I’m hosting, I’ll pull them on.

Haflinger GZ Classic Grizzly for $155: When I moved to Portland, Oregon, my mom’s Christmas gift my first year was a pair of these slippers. That was over 15 years ago, and I fully expect these shoes to last another 10 years. I’m wearing them now, and they’re in great shape — much better than my husband’s LL Bean slippers, which died out after about five years (sorry, Julian!). These slippers have an unfair advantage in that they are more clogged, with a wool upper tightly attached to a lightweight molded cork sole that is also lined with wool.

I highly recommend these if you have plantar fasciitis or other foot problems that make it difficult or painful for you to walk without support. The upper held its shape, and the cheerful embroidered border never undone, despite years of kicking it in my shoe rack and letting it mold all summer. The traction on the bottom is also good enough for me to skate outside to take out the trash. I wear it with socks and haven’t noticed any odor. —Adrien Su

Men’s Rothy’s Slippers for $79: Made from a combination of three plastic bottles and Responsibly Wool Certified Merino wool, Rothy’s slippers are delightfully warm while providing enough traction in the gum outsole for a Get Stuff Done™. They fit perfectly, and I love the thin sherpa lining to protect the back of my heel. I wouldn’t wear these outside, but if they accidentally go out because they feel too cute (like I did), you can throw them in the washing machine to clean them (just let them air dry). —Julian Chocatto

Manitoba Faux Fur Loafers $100: When I was a kid, I was rarely without a pair of moccasins. My grandmother gave it to her grandchildren every year for Christmas, and I wore it everywhere. Soft and comfortable shoes for indoor and outdoor use were just a part of everyday life. When I got to middle school, I gave in to social pressures and my desire to be as incognito as possible, and gradually moved away from wearing or doing anything that seemed authentic, or anything distinctly Mexican.

After my grandmother died, I set out to find a new pair of moccasins similar in design to the ones she had bought us when we were kids, and found Manitoba. This is an Indigenous-owned brand staffed by Indigenous designers, and the slippers, cabin clogs, shoes and moccasins are all of impeccable quality. Street moccasins are like little clouds that you can stick your feet into and wear anywhere, decorated with embroidered designs just like the ones my grandmother used to get us. Manitoba also has a mini market page with unique designs. —Jayna Rodriguez Gray
