Wirecutter's All-Time Favorite Slippers

About this episode

Mediocre slippers trap sweat, lose their shape, or wear through after just a few months. The good news is that there are plenty of options that will keep your feet perfectly toasty and last for years. Wirecutter senior editor Jen Hunter explains how to choose between shearling, felted wool, synthetic fleece, and cotton. She elaborates on when to go for rubber soles over soft bottoms, and how replacing an insole can give your favorite pair a second life. Plus, she shares top picks for cold floors, sweaty feet, and people who need real arch support indoors.
