It was a close second behind the Sorel Nakiska, but ultimately fell short because it was the heaviest shoe I tested, at 12.2 ounces. If you have a flat foot, the medial arch of the foot wants to collapse, so having medial arch lift is helpful,” says Mehta. “This will help control overpronation and medial arch collapse. Flexible, flat-footed people tend to be more hypermobile, and they want shoes or slippers with more motion control.” On the flipside, people with high arches tend to put more pressure on their heel or forefoot, Mehta says. “For people with higher arches, a slipper that fills in the midfoot with a medial arch and added cushioning at the heel or forefoot would increase comfort.” What Features Make A Slipper Good For Recovery?

Climate is a key consideration when choosing slippers—think about whether you live somewhere with chilly mornings most of the year, or if you just want something with some cushion or to buffer feet from cool tiles. Similarly, keep in mind if your feet typically run hot or cold. Certain fabrics, like wool, are extremely warm but also have thermoregulating properties, so feet won’t sweat as much. Cotton terry is efficient for absorbing moisture after showering. And polyester blends can be extremely warm and flexible, but they may not be as breathable. Cushioning, Arch Support And Stability Sizes: S (5/6), M (7/8), L (9/10) | Colors: 2 total, including Heathered Ocean and Heathered Graphite | Materials: Polyester microfiber, rubber The simple act of putting on slippers at the beginning or end of the day is the beginning of a healthy self-care routine,” says self-care expert and pharmacist Dr. Alisha Reed. It’s an investment in both your foot health and mental health, she points out, which is ultimately less expensive over the long term than a spa day or weekly manicure. “In terms of slipper fit, first consider your lifestyle, activity level, foot structure and the surfaces you’ll be wearing it on,” says Dr. Madhuri Mehta, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon at Gotham Footcare. Here’s what else to take into consideration: Warmth And Breathability Sizes: 5 to 12 | Colors: 5 total, including Light Gray Sherpa and Tawny Sherpa | Materials: Closed-cell foam, polyesterSizes: 5 to 12 | Colors: 4 total, including Nova Sand and Quarry | Materials: Mesh, knitted, nylon or fleece upper, rubber, synthetic lining For this story, I also spoke with three experts to get their insight into what to look for in a good pair of slippers: Dr. Madhuri Mehta, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon at Gotham Footcare; Dr. Alisha Reed, a self-care expert and pharmacist; and Chyrstyn Fentroy, a principal dancer for the Boston Ballet.

The Crocs Classic Lined Clogs are an all-around solid choice for easy wear and easy care at a wallet-friendly price point. I loved that they required no break-in time, and the shape of the clog-slipper followed the natural shape of my foot, so my toes could spread out without being pinched at the end of the day when they were swollen from standing all day. The brand’s Croslite foam—a closed-cell resin—felt bendy and lightweight and gave just the right amount of arch support. However, I’d have preferred if they were slightly more springy. The soft poly liner made them cozy, and the open holes across the bridge of the Crocs made them highly breathable, so my feet didn’t get sweaty. The Apparis Astro Slippers are made from the same silky faux fur that makes up the gorgeous coats the vegan brand is known for. Putting these slippers on is like wrapping your cold, tired feet in a fluffy, ultrasoft blanket. They are seriously warm, although the material was minimally breathable and did cause my feet to sweat when moving around the house tidying up. They’re a bit wider than some other slippers, so they gave my end-of-the-day swollen feet relief from restrictive flats and allowed my toes room to comfortably spread out. Allbirds Wool Dwellers: The springy memory-foam insole and soft polyester and wool lining of this shoe’s upper offered immediate relief, and I loved that they are machine-washable. But this style was so excessively wide that it fit me poorly and was clunky to wear around the house.Minnetonka Cally Slipper: I like that these slippers were affordable and come in regular and wide widths. But when wearing them, they slightly rubbed across the bridge of my foot and at my ankle, and the fit wasn’t exactly right—they’d slide off my heel when walking, despite being snug in the length.
