When you're at home, your feet deserve comfort—whether it's after a long day at work or first thing in the morning. The best way to achieve maximum foot comfort is by gifting yourself the absolute coziest pair of slippers you can find. The right slippers, or indoor house shoes, should be easy to slip on and off and provide cushion and support for your feet while walking around indoors. You might think of slippers as a luxury item, but they can significantly help foot pain that gets worse by walking barefoot on hard surfaces. So, slippers aren't just cute and cozy, they're good for your health.

What to Consider When Purchasing Slippers

Material:‌ The materials that slippers are made with make a big difference. Of course, you'll want to choose materials that feel good against your skin, but also ones that won't cause your feet to overheat if that tends to be an issue for you. To prevent sweaty feet, try going for slippers made of breathable, natural materials like cotton, linen or wool.

Sole:‌ Slippers with a rubber, synthetic or natural cork sole offer the best shock absorption and support for your feet. If the slippers you like don't have a sole, you might want to consider ones with an anti-slip backing to help prevent falls.

Back Versus No Back:‌ Backless slippers are typically easier to put on than booties or fully-enclosed slippers, and they're generally better for those who tend to have sweaty feet or prefer to quickly hop in and out of slippers. Slippers with backs, however, stay on feet better, providing comfort and support without the worry of them slipping off.

The Best Supportive Slippers

Wear these Wicked Good slippers from L.L. Bean with or without socks—but if you want to feel the softness of the genuine lamb's wool, you should probably ditch the socks. These slippers are made for comfort as they feature an EVA foam lining midsole and a supportive rubber outsole with traction. They come in six colors and the company recommends sizing up if you're in between sizes. There isn't an exact match when it comes to men's slippers, but the Men's Wicked Good Scuffs are pretty close.

The Best Sock Slippers

These Gripper Slippers will keep your feet feeling warm and looking festive this winter. The ankle-height slipper socks feature a fluffy sherpa lining and a wool-blend exterior. Anthropologie sells two Fair Isle-inspired patterns, but for an even greater selection (including men's sizes), turn to the Bombas website for three additional options. The soles of the slipper socks are lightly cushioned for comfort and feature non-slip grippers so you don't take any tumbles—at least not due to the slippers being slippery. They come in four sizes: extra-small, small, medium and large.

The Best Design-Forward Slippers

The spa-like waffle slippers might be the ultimate loungewear for your feet. They come in two sizes—small for women's 8 to 10 or men's 5 to 9 and large for women's 11+ and men's 10 to 14. They have a grippy, non-slip outsole plus they have the perfect amount of cushion for your feet. No worries if they get dirty as these slippers can be tossed in the washing machine with like colors. The slippers come in 10 non-offensive colors, so you can be cool and casual in your waffle slippers without drawing all the attention to your feet.

When your teenager isn't sleeping all day, they probably spend a good amount of time lounging around the house. If that's the case, they might as well have the most comfortable slippers possible to support their lounging hobby. These nontoxic, plush sherpa slippers are so soft, you're going to want a matching pair for yourself, which your teen will probably roll their eyes at but maybe secretly love? You can buy these unisex slippers in three neutral colors: ivory, gray or camel. The sizes range from small to medium.

The Best Slippers for Kids

When it comes to slipper socks, Bombas are arguably the best for toddlers and kids because they're incredibly soft and warm, and they actually stay on their feet and have efficient gripper soles to prevent tumbles. They're "festive on the outside and cloud-like on the inside," according to the company. In other words, they're definitely kid-approved. While Bombas sells slippers for the whole family, these are for toddlers and kids specifically in sizes 11 to 5.

The Best Slippers for Babies

As far as slippers for babies that stay on their feet longer than 7 seconds go, Hudson's Sherpa Booties are clear winners. Their velcro closure helps you slide them on and off easily, as does the loop at the top of the bootie. They have grips on the bottom for the safety of your little walkers and they come in a wide variety of colors and styles. The sizing ranges from 0-6 months all the way to 4T.
