Investing in a pair of cozy slippers is always a good idea, and, in our opinion, you can never have too many. With so many styles, silhouettes, materials, and colors to choose from, you can take your pick of hundreds—if not thousands—of them. With that in mind, it's safe to say that the best women's slippers combine comfort, warmth, support, and style.
While perusing our top picks, you'll notice that quite a few of them offer durable features such as interior linings and rubber outsoles, making them suitable for outdoor wear. Similarly, several of them are machine-washable for easy cleaning.
To narrow down the best women's slippers, we did two things: asked editors to share their favorite styles and looked to our go-to loungewear brands for bestsellers. Expect an array of options like shearling-lined pairs, fuzzy slides, open-toe picks, and even ones designed to replicate your favorite hotel room slipper.
Headed to the airport? Reach for these easy-on, easy-off suede Uggs with a rubber sole. They're the perfect blend of durability and cozy warmth. Plus, when you are at home, these are just the thing for slipping on and off when it's time to walk the dog or get the mail.
Material: Shearling, wool, and suede
Standout customer review: “I buy my husband a pair of these unisex Ugg slippers about once a year. He wears them all year long. They are the only slippers that hold up to his daily wear for longer than a few months. He wears them inside and outside.” —Anne
L.L.Bean fans rave about these clog-like slippers for their arch support, heel cushioning, and playful patterns, from turtles to moose to ombré forest trees. They have a fleece lining and rubber anti-slip sole, and are roomy enough to wear your coziest socks underneath in colder months, making them our top pick for cold feet.
Colors: Red, rustic blue, taupe, green, and more
Standout customer review: “I have neuropathy in both feet and these are the only slippers that really help deal with the pain. The footbed is super supportive and the minute I put them on my feet feel better!” —Icheever
If not for how comfy they are, you’d forget these chic shoes are actually slippers. Fortunately, they’re just as supportive as they are stylish: The footbeds feature seven layers of cloud-like comfort, while the non-slip rubber sole is ideal for stepping outside. It’s also worth noting that The Dove comes in a variety of colors and materials to suit every style—some even feature fun embellishments like tassels and pom-poms. Its slip-on design and pointed-toe silhouette add an extra-fashionable flair.
Colors: Black (suede and satin), golden oak, fuschia, tan herringbone, olive herringbone, rhubarb, gold, silver
Materials: Suede, satin, leather, lace
While these are technically outdoor shoes, they are machine washable, meaning they’re easy to clean off and rewear as house shoes, and are comfortable enough to have on all day. Like many Allbirds shoes, they’re made with merino wool and have a castor bean insole to cushion your foot and minimize odor (they're meant to be worn sans socks). For those who want to feel like they're putting on a pair of shoes without sacrificing comfort, these are a good slipper-shoe hybrid.
Colors: Dapple gray, true black, calm cargo, natural white, calm taupe, hazy indigo, and natural gray
Standout customer review: “These are great for traveling in the cold weather. Keeps me warm and they are comfortable when I walking 20,000 steps in a day.” —Robin
These slippers came on our radar by way of Oprah’s annual favorite things list, and are a great option if you don’t like a closed-toe slipper. The adjustable strap is nice for wide or narrow feet, and the orthotic footbed will make your feet much happier than continuing to walk around barefoot. Order them in tan, as shown, or in black, pink, or light gray.
Colors: Tan, natural leopard, pink, light gray, basil, light blue, white, and black
Standout customer review: “These give the perfect support for me feet. They have made a huge difference when I walk around the house. No more pain or aching.” —Destiny
This Amazon find is the fluffiest. It's ridiculously soft and just the right amount of over-the-top, yet still practical—the shoe has a thick memory foam insole that retains its shape even after daily wear.
Colors: Gray, beige, pink, leopard, camel, and dark green
Material: Fleece and memory foam
Standout customer review: “Best slipper to run around the house in. Cushy and supportive for my plantar fasciitis.” —Carey

Standout customer review: "Very soft, comfortable, and supportive. I can machine wash it. This is a long-lasting piece. Not easy to wear and tear at all." —Brea
Constructed with 100 percent Turkish cotton, the Quince Organic Turkish Waffle slippers are just as comfy as the ones you’d find in a luxury hotel spa. Not only are they ultra-soft and lightweight, but they’re also machine-washable for easy cleaning. The slip-resistant sole is a bonus in our book. Pro tip: Pair them with one of these plush hotel robes to fully channel vacation vibes.
One-part slipper, one-part flip-flop, the Kipea Heu Genuine Shearling slide sandal is perfect for wearing both in and out of the house. The cushy, contoured footbed provides long-lasting support, while the fluffy shearling material adds an extra layer of warmth and softness. Think of the slippers as pillows for your feet—because that’s exactly how they feel.

Conde Nast Traveler editors are big fans of Barefoot Dreams in general. The California-based brand is renowned for its super-soft blankets, pajamas, loungewear, and robes—so it comes as no surprise that the CozyChic ribbed slippers are equally, well, cozy. The shoes’ ribbed knit construction offers a lot of warmth, softness, and durability. To top it off, they’re also machine-washable.
Colors: Carbon, pewter, and indigo
These cute slippers are perfect for indoor or al fresco lounging. The cushioned footbed provides support, while a rubber sole offers traction, which comes in handy when out and about running errands, walking the dog, and whatever else the day throws your way. The plush criss-cross upper—which, by the way, is constructed from 100 percent recycled polyester—adds an extra-luxe touch; plus, the material will keep your feet warm all winter long.
Colors: Ivory and rose cloud
Searching for the perfect bootie-style slipper? Look no further than these from Bombas. Thanks to their warm sherpa lining, these oh-so-fluffy slippers are especially ideal for colder temps.

Think of these J.Crew slippers as a more casual version of ballet flats. Designed for indoor and outdoor wear, they’re just as chic as they are cozy thanks to their fuzzy sherpa material. We’d also be remiss not to mention its durable rubber sole and supple leather lining.
Ugg slippers are hard to resist, and this classic slip-on style is no exception. They are comfy and durable, warm without causing overheating, and easily double as outdoor slippers.

The classic moccasin style gets a fresh look with this navy hue. With faux fur and a foam footbed, your feet will reach new levels of comfort.

Colors: White, blush, moss, stone, and dusk
Materials: Turkish cotton terry cloth
Standout customer review: “I use these with the matching robe to go back and forth between our hot tub and inside during the winter. Perfect because they are absorbent and then I don't need to use a towel every time. Lots of cushion and a durable sole.” —Allison
“I’ve owned these Ugg moccasin slippers for at least a decade, and they’re still in good shape. They’re my winter slipper, lined with the same Ugg fleece as is inside their boots, but are a much less bulky shoe. The bottom has grips and a thick sole, so while I try to keep them indoor shoes, they’ll make it through a trip to the mailbox or around the corner with no problem, and are plenty supportive for wearing throughout the day.” —Madison Flager, senior commerce editor
Colors: Pewter, black, and chestnut
Materials: Suede, wool, and lyocell
“I am obsessed with my Fluff Yeah slides from Ugg; if I could get them in every color, I would. It’s a combination of a slipper and a sandal turned into a cozy, fuzzy slide. The soft sheepskin covering keeps my feet super warm (which is a must for me; my floors are always cold). It has a lightweight platform that doesn’t hurt to stand in and an elastic band in the back to keep my feet secured. I also love how stylish they are compared to the traditional slipper. The best part? They are made for indoor and outdoor use, so I get to wear them everywhere. These slides pair very well with jeans and color-coordinated tops.” —Shauna Beni, Teen Vogue's commerce editor (and a former Traveler editor)
Material: Sheepskin, lyocell, and upcycled wool
These ultra-comfortable, non-slip chenille house slippers feature memory foam soles infused with temperature-regulating tech that keeps sweaty feet at bay.

“I picked these up during a stay at Shou Sugi Ban House in the Hamptons (their gift wall is phenomenal); every time I slip into them I get a teeny little spark of happiness. The best part is that the subtle Japanese design is airy and light, with slightly raised edges behind the ankle, means they slip on comfortably, but don't risk slipping off, which is great for someone spending 10 hours a day in them.” —Erin Florio, executive editor
Material: Sasawashi fabric and polyester
If you want to elevate your stay-at-home loungewear, these extra fluffy slippers are here to answer the call. The leather slip-ons feature extra fluffy faux fur that looks luxurious and feels divine.
Material: Faux fur and leather
Standout customer review: “Such quality! I get compliments all the time. I bought the black for me and the gold for my sister. She loves it.” —Diane
"I adore this pair of moccasins with the coziest sherpa lining from Rothy's. These give a lot more support than any pair of slippers I've worn in the past, but still feel lightweight and ultra-soft. The durable soles make them safe to wear inside and outside, so I like to pack them in the shoe compartment of my weekender bag on quick trips, too. Something I love about Rothy's—besides how comfy its shoes are—is the brand's commitment to sustainability: Four recycled plastic bottles were used to make these slippers and they aim to have a zero-waste production process." —Meaghan Kenny, associate commerce editor
Colors: Birch tan and glacier gray
Materials: Sherpa lining and premium merino wool
“I'm chuckling as I type this, but I don't have a single slipper brand that I'm loyal to. Rather, I have a rotation of disposable pairs that I've lifted from hotel rooms over the years. Often, I'll grab both of the two pairs that a hotel leaves out for guests in a double, and bring them home with me; I'll then use a pair until I need to change them out, which is usually about every three months. The best part is, wearing them makes me feel just a little like I'm always staying at a hotel—from The Setai Galilee to the Four Seasons Philadelphia (and I can't forget the Frette slippers from my sailing on the Celebrity Edge—the Ritz Carlton shop carries a similar pair!).” —Betsy Blumenthal, former features and franchises editor
“For the past 10 or so years I’ve gotten a pair of fancy slippers from Pearl River Mart. They’re more like house slippers than cozy slippers; the sole is super thin, almost like plastic, but with little grips so you don’t slip. They’re my fancy house shoes; I wear them all the time, even for dinner parties. I highly recommend.” —Lauren DeCarlo, former special projects director
Colors: Black, turquoise, and pink
Rounding out our list of the best slippers for women are these crisscross, open-toe slippers. Pair with leggings and an oversized sweater and you've got the ultimate cozy weekend getaway uniform.
Colors: Muted blue, dark gray, and natural
