Women’s slippers are more popular than ever, and they come in so many different styles—mules, moccasins, and slides to name a few.
Regardless of what style you like, the best women’s slippers have some things in common—they are comfortable while offering support and cushioning. Most of all, they can keep your toes warm and cozy all year round.

To find the best women's slippers, we evaluated top-rated pairs at a variety of price points on a number of factors, including comfort and fit, support and cushioning, and overall experience.
Additionally, we took note of how easy they were to put on and take off, traction on wet floors, and ease of care.
We wore each pair to analyze their performance, then rated them on various categories depending on the importance to find the final ranking.
We wore slippers for weeks to find the best of the best.
With slippers, comfort and fit are extremely important. No one wants to wear slippers that hurt their feet. Some of the slippers we tested come in different widths, so women with wider feet can find something that fits well. Additionally, the type of lining has a huge impact on comfort. The same is true about the level of support. If you have foot pain caused by issues such as flat feet or plantar fasciitis make sure the slippers you choose have enough support that you don’t add to your foot aches.
Shearling, sheepskin, and faux fur are common descriptions you’ll come across when shopping for slippers, and unless you’re very familiar with these terms, they can get confusing.
Shearling comes from a young sheep or lamb. It has suede on one side and the wool still attached to the suede on the other. The shearling is treated and dyed to make it into apparel items, like slippers.
Sheepskin is very similar to shearling. The main difference is that sheepskin comes from an older sheep and the suede tends to not be as soft as shearling.
One big advantage of both shearling and sheepskin products that we found while testing numerous pairs was that genuine fur is more breathable than faux fur. It’s also able to wick away moisture from the feet so they stay warm and dry. But this comes with a few drawbacks.
Because shearling is real suede and fur, it can be harder to manufacture these types of slippers, making them more expensive. Another disadvantage is that often these products are not machine-washable. The pairs we tested were either spot-clean or had no cleaning instructions.
Faux fur, unlike shearling, doesn't come from an animal. Instead, it's made from synthetic materials. This means we found a lot more variety in how the faux fur felt and performed for each slipper. Some faux fur felt more like silk and had a more slippery feel, while other faux fur felt more like cotton and was fluffier.
No matter what the faux fur felt like, we discovered during testing that they did not wick away moisture from feet as well as the natural materials, which led to sweaty feet. However, the faux fur slippers tend to be cheaper compared to the shearling or sheepskin slippers, and some are machine-washable, which is convenient. They're also vegan.
Slippers come in a number of different styles, including mules and moccasins. Some of the slippers we tested were open toes, while others were more shoe-like. They ranged from fluffy to less-adorned. Regardless of style, there’s a slipper that would fit the personality of any woman.
When testing slippers, we took the ease of cleaning each pair into consideration, based on the manufacturer's instructions. But, while very few of the products were machine-washable, some slippers had no care instructions at all. This generally means that the item shouldn’t be cleaned in a washing machine, nor is it recommended to hand-wash them.
A few of the other slippers were spot-clean only, which means to only clean the area with the stain on it. If you want to spot-clean your slippers, you can use a suede and leather cleaning kit or a lightly damp rag to spot clean. It’s best to test a very small area on the slipper in a place that’s not highly visible, just in case the water itself stains.
