Whether you wear them with your robe in the morning, as a respite for tired feet in the evening, or all day as you work from home, chances are a pair of comfortable slippers is part of your footwear collection. As with any other shoes that see daily wear, it’s worth finding a pair that’s cozy, supportive and durable. See our top 9 picks based on our experience and customer reviews. Update 12/2024: my new personal favorite for my wonky arthritic feet is the Haflinger Winterbird–the arch support is amazing.

I am a HUGE fan of Topo Athletic for their generous toe box, great support and snug fit at midfoot and heel, so I’m wondering why I don’t have a pair of these comfortable slippers yet?? Maybe you’ll beat me to the punch once you read all the stellar reviews for fit and feel. Happy Zappos customer Lori states, “I highly recommend! PS I have bunions, and a Morton’s neuroma and there is no pressure anywhere as the material is soft!” Find a pair of Topo Revives in sizes 6-11 for $120 from Zappos, Topo Athletic and Amazon.

An orthotic-friendly slipper with Danish ancestry, the unisex Sanita Skagen features felted wool uppers and a removable cork/latex footbed with enhanced arch support. A versatile waterproof rubber outsole means you can wear these to the mailbox…or further! Find a pair in sizes 5-12 for $155 from Zappos, Nordstrom and Amazon.

Love these slippers, the color, comfort, and they are warm but let my feet breathe. The arch support is fantastic, just what I was looking for. They are true to size and perfect width for slipper-type comfort. Nicole, Nordstrom customer
Here’s a new-to-me brand that I hope interests you too! Strole footwear is designed to relieve plantar fasciitis pain and other foot issues. The Strole Snug clog/slipper features a Melton wool upper, enhanced arch support and heel cushioning. Find a pair in whole sizes 6-11 for $43-49 from Amazon.

My feet are incredibly sensitive and need arch support, cushioning and a soft, broad toe box. These mules check all the boxes. I just bought my second pair! Alison, Oofos customer
It really doesn’t matter which Oofos style you choose, they all make excellent house shoes/slippers. It just happens that the Oocoozie style is fuzzier and more slipperish. If you suffer from plantar fasciitis or have plain old sensitive feet, Oofos are for you. The OOfoam™ technology absorbs shock and provides the type of cushioning that is Goldilocks perfect–not too squishy, not too hard. Arch support is excellent as is toe room. Find the Oofos Oocoozie mule and closed-heel style in sizes 5-12 for $114.95 from Oofos.com and Zappos.

This magical combo is my personal favorite “slipper” solution. Get a pair of Birkenstock Arizonas with the soft footbed (extra layer of cushioning) or regular Birkenstock Arizonas if you prefer a more firm support. Then pull on a pair of Maggie’s Organics Cotton Ragg socks for just enough cozy without overheating your feet. This combination works wonders for my aching arthritic feet in the winter. I love the feel of Birkenstock Arizona arch support and metatarsal support, but don’t like the shearling version–this combination works so much better for me and I hope it does for you! Find a pair of Birkenstock Arizonas soft footbed in both B (narrow to medium width) and D (wide width) for $140 from Nordstrom. The Maggie’s Organics cotton ragg socks are available individually for $14-16 or in a set for $30 from Amazon.

I really love these comfortable slippers. I have arthritis in my feet and feel pain with every step but these really helped me. They’re firm but cushioned enough so my feet hurt less. They offer a bit of bounce possibly because of the rubber sole.
It looks like wool, is soft and cozy like wool, but the felt upper is made from recycled water bottles! The Mona slipper by Spanish brand, Toni Pons, is not only budget-friendly, but also foot AND environment friendly. The thick latex insole is removable and offers moderate support. Available for $69 from Zappos, Amazon, and Nordstrom.

Do you need to wear an orthotic at all times? Slip them into these comfortable slippers by Orthofeet with no problem. The Charlotte slipper/house shoe also features a wide toe box, excellent arch support and a mild rocker sole to take pressure off the forefoot. An adjustable instep closure allows for customized fit. Available in sizes 5-12, medium to extra wide width for $89.95 from Orthofeet.com and Amazon.

I adore my Bombas socks for their arch-hugging fit and seamless toe, and I’m thrilled to see the company branch out into the comfortable slippers category. If you prefer a slipper without all the hopped-up arch support, the Bombas Sunday slipper is for you. Fluffy sherpa and a memory foam insole will keep your feet snug as a bug! A rubber outsole allows for quick trips outside. Find the Bombas Sunday slipper in whole sizes 5-11 for $75 from Bombas.

One you’ve experienced the comfort and support of Haflinger wool clogs, we doubt you’ll ever go back to standard issue slippers. The darling Couricini style shown here features a anatomically contoured cork and latex midsole to keep your arches supported all day long. The wide toe box ensures room for bunions or thick socks (we recommend Maggie’s organic cotton ragg socks). The high quality wool felt uppers and lining are breathable, warm (but not too warm), and antibacterial. Go ahead and wear these Haflingers outside–the slip-resistant outsole is made of water-repellent rubber. This style runs a little large, you may want to size down. Find the Haflinger Couricini in sizes 5-11 for $139 from Zappos and Amazon.

Some people are Haflinger fans, others prefer Stegmann. Both wool clogs offer superior arch and metatarsal support plus a roomy toe box. Read Kirsten’s review for more information on this wonderful European brand.
