How We Tested Women’s Slippers

If you’re a fan of the outdoors, the odds are you spend a lot of time on your feet. Whether you put your miles in by walking, hiking, running, or pedaling, they’re putting in the work. So it pays to make sure they get a little rest every now and then. 

The GearJunkie staff has spent cumulative lifetimes finding ways to help our feet rest and recover for the next adventure. Whether it’s with massage guns, lacrosse balls, or sometimes, just some cushy relaxation, we know about taking care of our feet. 

We used that experience to find the best women’s slippers, searching out the best ones for a variety of scenarios and applications. If any shoes were uncomfortable or didn’t stand out in any meaningful way, they didn’t make this list. 

For the ones that did, we rigorously tested them on things like warmth, comfort, softness, and durability. More or less, it meant a lot of taking it easy while taking notes. We’re not mad about it.

As you might guess, this is a pretty sweet gig, so as new slippers hit the market, we’ll call them in and test them out to ensure that this guide is consistently up to date.

Why You Should Trust Us

GearJunkie Editor Billy Brown knows footwear. As a former footwear editor for national publications and a former long-distance runner, he knows what goes into making a comfortable slipper. 

Lead tester Heather Brown has graciously accepted the job of testing women’s slippers for this update. Her testing consisted of wearing them and evaluating them based on the parameters set forth in this guide and adding insights where applicable. 

Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose the Best Women’s Slippers

The best women’s slippers should be a pair that you want to slip into as soon as you get into the house. Since you’ll be wearing them every day, it’s important to make sure that the slippers you buy hit all the right notes. Some things to consider when shopping for a pair of women’s slippers are comfort, fit, durability, materials, and value.

Comfort

It seems like a no-brainer, but we’ll say it: Comfort is of paramount importance when buying slippers. If you don’t look forward to wearing them, they’re not the right ones. 

Look for a pair of slippers that are snug, but not restricting. A soft shearling interior lining like the OluKai Ku’i is a great option. As a bonus, some slippers like the Manitobah Metis Moccasins have linings that spill into the outside of the foot as well. 

Also, you may want a soft, supportive footbed. Look for ones made with materials like the Hari Mari Sofia’s memory foam or the Naot Recline’s mattress foam. 

If you’re looking for a simpler shoe without as much cushioning but plenty of softness, the Glerups Women’s Slip-On is a great choice. Basically, a wool bootie with a thin outsole, the Slip-On gives you a soft surface without a squishy midsole. 

Fit

Shoes of any kind that don’t fit well aren’t going to be comfortable. While slippers can be a bit more forgiving, they’ll feel a lot better if they fit right out of the gate. 

Since fit preferences vary from person to person, the perfect fit is different for everyone. Do you want something that provides a snug fit? The Hari Mari Sofia has a thick shearling lining that almost feels like compression. 

Want something looser? Look for a mule-style clog, like the OluKai Ku’i or Naot Recline. Also, the Glerups Women’s Slip-On provides a looser fit as well. 

Durability

Like all kinds of apparel, slippers should be more comfortable as you wear them, but they need to last long enough for that to happen. The best slippers should provide you with years of podiatric bliss. 

The slippers on this list have held up to months of testing, thanks to durable materials like full-grain leather or durable wool blends.

 You should also consider the outsole, particularly if you want to wear them outside. While the Glerups Women’s Slip-On can come with indoor-ideal leather soles, all of the slippers on this list have durable rubber outsoles for outdoor use. 

Material

There are countless materials available when it comes to women’s slippers. During our testing, a blend of high-grade leather on the exterior with a high-quality rubber on the outsole is an ideal recipe for longevity. 

The two exceptions on this list are the Glerups Women’s Slip-On, made of wool, and the Naot Recline, which are free of animal products. However, both have held up to testing without breaking down so far. 

Value

The women’s slippers on this list range in price from $70 to $145. You can easily spend less on a pair of slippers, but you may be sacrificing the comfort and longevity that you’d get with a premium pair.  The Naot Recline offers excellent value as they’re warm, have a mattress foam footbed, and are around half the price of our top pick.

Rather than buy a new pair every year or so, it pays to find slippers that you can keep for years on end without them breaking down. If you’re willing to pay a bit more for it, you’ll likely be satisfied with your investment.
