When it’s cold outside, the last thing you want is bare feet on hardwood floors. There is nothing better than a pair of warm, snuggly slippers to keep you feeling snug as a bug when the temperatures get chilly. While there are endless options out there, it’s important to do a little digging to find the perfect pair of slippers to keep your toes warm and happy all winter long. 

All slippers aren’t made the same, which is why we’ve compiled a list of the most sought-after traits and some popular slippers brands to consider. You’re welcome!

Popular Winter Slipper Brands 

To start your search, take a peek at some of the beloved slipper brands like Taos Wool Slippers. We hope you will find some slippers that make you feel relaxed and happy at home and beyond.

Arch Support

While the support of your slippers may not seem as important as say, your running sneakers, it is still going to affect the health of your feet. Not wearing shoes around the house or wearing flat slippers won’t give you any support, which could result in foot pain in the long run. After a long day of standing, wearing a pair of slippers that wraps your feet in total support and comfort is the best feeling. Try to find a pair of slippers with great arch support built-in.

Slip-On Vs. Backs

Most slippers are styled as slip-ons, rather than with backs because it makes putting them on and taking them off super easy. However, some people might not like this style because it doesn’t provide a lot of security. Slip-on shoes can fall off or cause you to trip if you’re not careful. If you need more stability from your slipper, you might prefer a boot style that wraps around your ankles and doesn’t slide off.

Indoor/Outdoor Soles

Slippers shouldn’t just be confined to the house. There are now slippers that are made with durable rubber soles that can be worn outside and inside. Whether you want to wear them to walk the dog or meet a friend for coffee, you’ll enjoy the total comfort of slippers outside without worrying about ruining them on pavement. Rubber soles also provide a good amount of traction so that you won’t slip on slick surfaces. The best part is, indoor/outdoor slippers are made so that they actually look like shoes!

Breathability

While having your toes be toasty and warm in the winter is ideal, overheating is not. Sweaty feet inside slippers are not fun, nor is it hygienic. To avoid having this happen to you, choose slippers made of natural breathable materials like wool, rather than synthetics. If you know that you are prone to having hot feet, you can opt for open-toed slippers rather than slipper boots.

Style

Last, but certainly not least is the style of your winter slippers. While you may only be wearing them to walk around the house by yourself (unless you get indoor/outdoor slippers), that doesn’t mean that you need to sacrifice style altogether. You should be able to have the best of both worlds: comfort and style in a pair of slippers you enjoy looking at and wearing. 

Get cozy this winter in any of the above slipper options. They are all designed to be comfortable and stylish, though some work better for outdoor wear while others should remain indoors. Real slipper MVPs know that the best way to make it through the cold season is to have multiple pairs that you can wear wherever you go. With an arsenal of slippers at the ready, your feet will always feel supported and happy.
