The top 5 at a glance
Slippers are soft, lined shoes for wearing around the house. A moccasin has a stitched seam over the toes and wraps the heel, and a loafer-style slipper looks like a shoe; scuffs and slip-ons leave the heel open. Uppers run from leather and suede to felt and knit, over linings of wool, sheepskin, faux fur or fleece, and most have a cushioned insole.
Makers size slippers differently, some in whole sizes only, some in halves and some in two-size bands; the Sizes column shows how each pair here is sized. Knit and fabric pairs go in the washing machine; leather and suede are wiped or brushed clean by hand.
What matters
- A closed back stays on for the stairs; backless slips on fastest.
- A rubber sole for a step outside; leather and suede soles stay indoors.
- Thick wool, sheepskin or faux fur inside for cold floors.
#1HomeTop Men’s Memory Foam Moccasin Slippers (black)
$20–$30
A warm moccasin for everyday wear: a felt-look upper over a thick faux-fur lining, memory foam with arch support and a grippy rubber sole for the walk out to the mailbox. The leather and suede pairs come out ahead on score but are pricier and need cleaning by hand, where this one is machine washable.
What owners say: Owners describe excellent cushioning, a snug fit that’s true to size and a look they like. No recurring complaint shows up.
Heads up: The thick lining feels snug at first; HomeTop says it eases after a couple of days of wear, so order your usual size.
A closer look: Use the tab at the heel to pull it on quickly in the morning. It goes in the washing machine when the lining needs a freshen-up, and HomeTop makes it in black and other colours.
- Memory foam with arch support
- Pull tab at the heel
- Machine washable
Best for: From bed to the front step
- Style
- Moccasin, closed back
- Upper and lining
- Felt-look upper, faux-fur lining

#2Laurentian Chief Leather Moccasin Slippers (cork)
$100–$150
A classic moccasin of soft cowhide leather, with a supple leather sole and a soft lining, built for daily wear around the house. It scores highest of the five, the pair for anyone happy to pay more for one made by hand in Canada. Laurentian Chief has been making moccasins in Quebec since 1945.
What owners say: Owners praise the craftsmanship and the soft, supple leather, find them long-wearing and like that they’re made in Canada.
A closer look: Keep a pair of shoes by the door for the driveway or a wet step, since the soft leather sole is made for floors inside. It’s light and breathable, comfortable on warm days as well as cool ones.
- Handmade in Canada
- Light and breathable
Best for: Real leather, all year round
- Style
- Moccasin, closed back
- Upper and lining
- Cowhide leather, soft lining

#3UGG Ascot Slipper (chestnut)
$100–$150
Shaped like a loafer, so it passes for a shoe, but lined and cushioned with UGGpure wool. The suede is treated to shrug off light rain and the rubber sole is made for outdoors too, so the porch, the driveway or a quick run to the store don’t mean changing shoes.
What owners say: Owners find them warm, comfortable and well made, and still in good shape after a year of wear. Sizing trips some people up, and opinions on the value are mixed.
A closer look: If you’re between two sizes, UGG suggests going up one. The water treatment wears off with time, so brush the suede once it’s dry after a wet day and re-treat it now and then to keep the protection.
- Wool cushioning
Best for: Indoors and out, looking sharp
- Style
- Loafer-style moccasin, closed back
- Upper and lining
- Water-resistant suede, UGGpure wool lining
- Sole
- Rubber (indoors and out)
- Sizes
- Whole sizes only
#4UGG Men’s Scuff Slipper (black)
$100–$150
UGG’s backless house slipper with a leather upper, 17mm of UGGpure wool lining over the foot and a 17mm sheepskin insole underneath. It slips on and off without bending down, the pair for padding between the bedroom and the kitchen.
What owners say: Comfortable, cosy and true to size, by owners’ accounts, and they last. The price divides them.
A closer look: Let damp slippers dry naturally, well away from the heater or a heat vent, before wearing them again. The sole is suede, with UGG’s tread pressed in, so this pair lives by the bed rather than the back door.
- 17mm sheepskin insole
- Slips on without bending
Best for: Slipping on beside the bed
- Style
- Backless scuff
- Upper and lining
- Leather, UGGpure wool lining
- Sole
- Suede (indoors)

- Whole sizes only
#5VeraCosy Men’s Two-Tone Memory Foam Slippers
$20–$30
A backless slip-on with layered memory foam and a terry lining that keeps feet dry, and the whole slipper goes in the washing machine. It’s light enough to wear all day.
What owners say: Easy to slip into, soft and well cushioned, and warm on cold floors, according to owners, who also rate the value. Fit and durability draw mixed reviews.
Heads up: If you’re between sizes or wear socks, VeraCosy says to pick the next size up.
A closer look: After a wash, let it air-dry rather than putting it in the dryer, so the memory foam keeps its shape. The light rubber sole is fine for a trip to the recycling bin or watering the lawn.
- Terry lining keeps feet dry
- Layered memory foam
- Machine washable
Best for: All-day wear and regular washes
- Style
- Backless slip-on
- Upper and lining
- Knit-look upper, fleece and terry lining
- Sole
- Rubber (indoors and out)
- Sizes
