Bearaby Pillow Boots for $149: These indoor slippers are in fact made from Bearaby pillows and wrapped in organic cotton. They’re ultra-comfortable, comfortable enough to wear without socks, and surprisingly don’t make your feet sweat like most slippers do. They are breathable and machine washable, but they need to be hung to dry, which can take a while. Sizing is also limited to small, medium and large, with the largest going up to a 10.5 for men or a 12.5 for women. The insoles aren’t designed for outdoor use, but Bearaby says they’re comfortable enough for sleeping. (Personally, I won’t.)

Verloop Slide Slippers 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 have plantar fasciitis. Lined with fleece and made from hypoallergenic yarns, they’re soft to the touch, but they won’t keep your feet warm in cold weather. I like that they are machine washable. Verloop also sells House socks, which are at least warmer than its Slide slippers.

Glerups Slip-On with Leather Sole for $100: These wool slip-on slippers with a calfskin sole fit more like a sock than most slippers I own, which may be why I’ve found myself going in them more and more over the past year. The body of the slipper is made of half an inch of tightly knit wool that almost looks like craft felt and is warm in the winter without being hot in the summer. The wool used is a mix of Danish Gotland sheep and a New Zealand breed, and I never felt the slightest tingle. Wool is naturally odor resistant, which is great for slippers, and my pair of Glerups still smell as fresh as the day I bought them. —Martin Cizmar

Cozy Earth Lakehouse Clog for $128: The cork style takes on Birkenstock’s iconic clog, but unlike Birks, the suede leather insole is soft enough to slowly mold underfoot. The felt top is soft but not particularly warm. They look great and can be worn to the store if you don’t want to use them as house shoes. —Martin Cizmar

Cozy Earth Puffy Sheep Slippers for $98: I am so jealous of my 9 year old daughter, who is testing these ultra luxury slippers for me, because they are not available in my size. They put puffy in the name and, indeed, they look more like cotton balls than sneakers. If you’re looking for spa-ready slippers, these are just what you need. However, they have a sturdy rubber sole, so while your feet are wrapped in super-soft sheep fur and sheepskin, you can run to the mailbox and then wipe the sole clean. —Martin Cizmar

Lūvons Francesca Black Velvet Moccasin Slippers for $110: These closed toe loafers are stunning, designed with a velvet upper and padded with a faux shearling lining. The OrthoLite memory foam footbed and built-in arch support are especially helpful for people with plantar fasciitis. They’re made with non-slip rubber soles, so they can be worn indoors or outdoors; Plus, they are machine washable and come with a mesh laundry bag for doing so. Unfortunately, they’re not the most comfortable (partly due to the stiff toe box) despite having elastic side panels meant to stretch with your feet. So these won’t be my everyday slippers, but one night when I’m hosting I’ll take them off.

Classic Grizzly Haflinger GZ for $155: When I moved to Portland, Oregon, my mother’s Christmas present that first year was a pair of these slippers. That was over 15 years ago, and I expect them to last another 10 years. I’m wearing them right now and they’re in great condition, much better than my husband’s LL Bean slippers, which came out after about five years (sorry, Julian!). This slipper has an unfair advantage in that it’s much more of a clog, with a wool felt upper firmly attached to a lightweight molded cork sole that’s also lined with wool.

I highly recommend them if you suffer from plantar fasciitis or other foot problems that make walking without support difficult or painful. The upper held its shape and the cheerful embroidered trim didn’t come undone, despite years of being tossed into my shoe rack and left to rot all summer. The traction on the bottom is also good enough that I can go outside to take out the trash. I wear them with socks and haven’t noticed any odor. —Adrienne So

Rothy’s Men Slipper for $79: Made with a blend of three plastic bottles and Responsible Wool Standard certified merino wool, the Rothy slippers are deliciously warm while still providing enough traction in the gum outsole to Get Stuff Done™. They fit well and I love the plush sherpa lining to protect the back of my heel. I wouldn’t wear them outside, but if you accidentally go out because they feel so good (like me), you can throw them in the wash to clean them (just let them air dry). —Julien Chokkattu

Manitobah Faux Fur Street Loafers for $100: When I was a kid, I was rarely without a pair of moccasins. My grandmother gave them to all her grandchildren every year at Christmas and I carried them everywhere. Soft and comfortable indoor and outdoor shoes were simply a part of everyday life. When I got to middle school, I gave in to social pressure and my desire to be as incognito as possible, and I gradually stopped wearing or doing anything visibly indigenous, visibly Mexican.

After my grandmother died, I was looking for a new pair of moccasins similar in style to the ones she gave us when we were kids, and I came across Manitobah. This is an Aboriginal-owned brand made up of Aboriginal designers, and their slippers, cabin clogs, boots and moccasins are all of impeccable quality. Street moccasins are like little clouds that you can slip your feet into and wear them everywhere, decorated with beaded designs like the ones my grandmother used to get us. Manitobah also has a small marketplace page with unique designs. —Jaina Rodriguez Gray
