The Best Slip-On Boots of 2024

I was immediately blown away by the Moscou 3.0’s design, as it featured something I’d never yet seen in a winter boot—built-in ice grippers.

Having spent quite a few winters in Denver, Colorado, I got to experience the joys of highly icy streets and sidewalks. Like many who live in places that experience frigid winters, I kept a pair of ice grippers by the door. But they were tough to pull over my shoes and made walking out the door a hassle.

With the Pajar Moscou 3.0 boots, you can flip up the attachments under the soles to reveal ice grips and flip them back down when you don’t need them anymore. Outside of this stroke of design genius, Pajar includes a strap closure to make these into lace-free slip-ons. Oh, and there’s a 2-inch heel as well. Talk about an everything boot.

I love a shoe that’s everything-ready and easy to get on. Often, boots made to resist slippery and moist (sorry, I had to say it) conditions come with laces and 10,000 irritating eyelets and aglets.

The Brellah Mini combines all the features one might need in a reliable, slush-ready boot with Ugg’s well-known, pull-on style. The sturdy pull tab on the back won’t have you desperately pulling at the slick outer material, and these are kicked off just as quickly as a pair of house shoes.

They’re lined with a plush inner, making Brellah an option for rain or cold (or both). So, if you live in a place with fluctuating weather, you can relax knowing these will carry you through the day without the need to constantly change shoes to accommodate temperamental weather. Plus, they come in colors that pop and shades that go with everything. Freedom rings loud and true with these boots.

The Classic Chelsea boot by Red Wing Shoes offers a combination of style, quality, and convenience that’s hard to find. The timeless design comes in just three colors, but those colors being black and two shades of brown mean there’s a Classic Chelsea to match any outfit.

Shorter boots are easier to slide into, but the slide-on Chelsea also comes in taller styles. The 6-inch Chelsea’s ‘50s look is sure to turn some heads, and the Red Wing Harriet boot brings a higher heel to the lineup.

The variations of the Chelsea mean there’s a little something for everyone, but you just can’t go wrong with the Classic.

This product name may sound more fit for a smartphone than footwear, but I assure you the Regina Pros are very much at home in a shoe article as they are, in fact, boots.

Like a smartphone, they aren’t lacking in cool features either. Although technically lace-free, these types of fitted, pull-on sock boots can pose quite a challenge, as they can be a struggle to squeeze into, even if you’re using two hands. With their stretchy fabric exterior, I could get into the Regina Pros faster than I can put on a sock (which is pretty speedy despite my one arm).

The pull tab on the back also serves as a gripping aid to help you get into these, so you don’t even need to reach for a shoehorn. The added bonus? These are water repellent and so comfortable I could go running in them—maybe not a marathon, but still.

I’ve been obsessed with these since the day I laid eyes on the cherry red pair Dua Lipa was seen wearing. These are absolutely statement boots, but they are also among the easiest boots you’ll ever pull on, as you won’t even have to reach down and pull on the heel.

Wearing these boots is like stepping into a pair of giant marshmallows designed to look epically cool. They’re as hands free and accessible to wear as a pair of shower slides. And, if you close your eyes and wish for any color or design, Moonboot probably sells it. These boots are available in myriad colorways, textures, prints, and sparkles—because accessibility should always come with choices and the right to self-expression while also prioritizing function.

Yes, you can hop on the puffer boot trend and prioritize accessibility, too. Keds are known for their ease of style and comfort, and these booties don’t fall short of that reputation. With a simple zipper for opening and closing, these are effortless to slip on.

My favorite part, however, is the zipper placement. With my left arm missing, I sometimes struggle to reach the zippers located on the outer side of my left foot. Here, the top zipper solves that problem and makes things much easier.

Nobody said slip-on boots had to look like slippers or house shoes! Upon trying the Nubia boots from Melissa, I was immediately in love. Winter party attire is a tricky sector since it involves looking fancy while being bundled up. For me, that usually includes tights and jewelry, which can be a struggle to don with one hand.

So, finding a pair of party boots I could get in and out of as quickly as my rain boots was a blessing. With a side zipper to widen the opening, these are a breeze to slide into à la Cinderella and her glass slipper. I tested the zipper to make sure it was doable, and it’s built in so that snagging and getting stuck don’t pose a threat. Plus, the Nubia boots are scented with Melissa’s signature tutti-frutti odor, making these a multi-sensory treat to wear.
