The 13 Best Closed-Toe Slippers to Keep Your Feet Snug and Happy Around the House

As a kid, I would constantly run around the house barefoot. It only took 20+ years of patient reminding by my parents combined with the “unexplainable” aches and pains of adulthood to understand the importance of supportive (and stylish!) slippers. No shade to anyone who swears by their sandals, but for me, there’s nothing quite like sliding into a pair of cozy, closed-toe slippers. Especially with winter right around the corner, a closed-toe style feels less like a personal preference and more like a must-have.

Whether you’re looking for arch-supportive slippers fit for long periods of standing, clogs that can go from the couch to cocktails, or a fur-lined option which that keep feet trendy and toasty, these are the 13 best closed toe-slippers for cozying up in. No cold feet here!

Best overall

Vionic, Gemma Mule Slippers — $70.00

Available sizes: 5-12, in 13 different colors.

These podiatrist-approved slippers tick off all our boxes for closed-toe slippers. They’re designed with an EVA midsole that reduces stress on knees, ankles, and feet, making them extra shock absorbing against hard surfaces.. The closed-toe mule design has a terrycloth lining (and comes in tons of fun colors!) for that spa-like feel, but with the convenient addition of an adjustable hook-and-loop closure to help achieve a perfect fit.

Pros

Contoured arch supportAnti-bacterial and odor-resistantAdjustable hook-and-loop closure

Cons

Not machine-washable

Runner up

Ugg, Tasman Slipper — $100.00

Available sizes: 5-12, in eight different colors.

These closed-toe Ugg slippers dominate social media feeds for very good reason. The suede slip-on combines a super soft sheepskin and up-cycled wool lining with a thick (yet lightweight) outsole that is comfortable as it is stylish. Whether you’re stepping out for coffee or lounging on the couch, you’ll want these babies on your feet.

Best clogs

Birkenstock, Zermatt Slippers — $100.00

Available sizes: 5-10.5 in half sizes and six different colors.

Birkenstocks are known for their iconic cork/latex footbed that only gets more comfortable with time. The same is true of the brand’s Zermatt closed toe slipper—its first-ever slipper model that doubles down on warmth and coziness with a wool material and soft shearling lining, which also happens to be moisture-wicking (so these can even be summer slippers). These cuddle-ready clogs will make cold feet a thing of the past.

Pros
Cork/latex footbed shapes to your feetShearling lining keeps feet warmEven weight distribution

Cons

Reviewers say they run smallDifficult to keep clean

Best for WFH

Birdies, The Phoebe — $85.00

Available sizes: 5-12

Our senior commerce editor quickly found that going around barefoot as she worked from home felt…weird. It’s not super healthy for your feet, but besides that—she felt a bit unraveled. Since she lives in LA, Uggs are sometimes too warm, so when she found The Phoebe slippers from Birdies, she knew they were her “glass slipper” she’d been searching for. Snuggly, comfortable, and chic AF, this slipper is ideal for wearing at home when you want to look put together. Can co-workers see what shoes you’re wearing? No. But your outfit feels more cohesive (and they look really cute for when you’re taking the trash out, running to the grocery store for baking soda, or have a friend over).

Made of vegan faux fur and vegan velvet, these come in four colors, including two seasonal shades that are worthy of a holiday party. With seven layers of cloud-like comfort (and memory foam cushioning that means zero break-in time) and no-slip soles, these slippers are worth every penny.

Pros:

SleekNon-slipOutdoor-friendlyMade with vegan materialCushionedComes with tiny (15mm) heelFree shipping and returns

They’re made with a memory-foam footbed that coddles feet from toe to heel, and rubber soles that offer the perfect amount of grip for trotting around the house. They can even be folded down and packed away without bulkiness, making them a must-have for holiday travel.
