The top 5 at a glance
Slippers are soft, cushioned shoes for wearing around the house. Open-backed styles are the quickest to step into, while a moccasin or loafer-style slipper with a closed back stays on better on the stairs and keeps the heel warm. Inside, the choice is between breathable knit, fluffy faux fur and real wool and sheepskin.
Most of the pairs here have rubber soles, fine for a quick step outside; the UGG Scuff’s sole is suede, for indoors only. The microsuede and knit pairs go in the washing machine, while UGG’s suede is cleaned by hand. Fit is where owners disagree most, and the table shows how each pair is sized.
What matters
- A memory foam or thick wool insole for cushioning.
- Wide sizes, if standard slippers pinch.
- The maker’s advice on going up or down between sizes.
- A treated, water-resistant upper, if they’ll go outdoors.
#1UGG Ascot Slipper
$100–$150
Shaped like a loafer, so it passes for a shoe, but lined and cushioned with thick UGGpure wool. The suede is treated to shrug off light rain and the molded 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 like how well made they are, say they look more like shoes than slippers and hold their shape, and find them warm on cold days. Fit splits opinion, with some finding them small, and a few think the price is steep.
A closer look: UGG makes the Ascot in whole sizes only and suggests going up a size if you’re between two. 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.
- Passes for a shoe
- Suede shrugs off light rain
- 17mm wool insole
- Foam footbed
Best for: Indoors and out, looking sharp
- Style
- Loafer-style moccasin
- Upper and lining

- Rubber, indoor/outdoor

- Whole sizes only; go up if between
#2UGG Scuff
$75–$100
Suede outside, a soft wool lining and a real sheepskin insole: a slip-on made for indoor floors. UGG began in California in the late 1970s, when Australian surfer Brian Smith noticed the surfers there didn’t wear the sheepskin boots Australians pulled on after a cold morning surf.
What owners say: Warm, comfortable and good-looking, with a sheepskin lining that keeps feet dry; one owner likens them to walking on air. Durability and softness divide people, with some pairs coming apart within two months, and the price draws grumbles.
A closer look: Suede can’t go in the washing machine. UGG’s advice is a damp sponge with its cleaner, a light brush in one direction, then a day drying naturally away from heat. The sole is suede as well, so this is a pair to keep for carpet and hardwood floors rather than the front walk.
- 17mm sheepskin insole
- Foam footbed
- Clean with a damp sponge
Best for: Lounging around the house
- Style
- Slip-on scuff
- Upper and lining

#3shoeslocker Men’s Microsuede Moccasin Slippers (beige)
$10–$20
A tan microsuede moccasin with a soft faux-fur lining and collar, thick memory foam underfoot and a non-slip rubber sole, so it copes with the driveway as well as the kitchen floor. It can go in the washing machine when it needs freshening up.
What owners say: Comfortable and well made, with a fluffy lining, a good fit and real warmth in cold weather. They look like real moccasins, too.
A closer look: Wipe marks off the microsuede with a damp cloth between washes, and let them air-dry away from the heater rather than on it. They come in whole sizes from 8 to 14 and half sizes from 9.5 to 11.5, so most men can order their usual size.
- Machine washable
- Memory foam insole
- Faux-fur collar
Best for: Kitchen floors and driveway trips
- Style
- Moccasin
- Upper and lining
- Microsuede, faux-fur lining
- Sole
- Rubber, indoor/outdoor
- Sizes
- 8–14, half sizes 9.5–11.5
#4RockDove Original Two-Tone Memory Foam Slipper
$20–$30
A two-tone waffle knit that lets feet breathe, memory foam underfoot and a real rubber sole, so a trip to the trash cans or the mailbox doesn’t mean changing shoes. It works as well on a summer evening as a winter one.
What owners say: Very plush and well cushioned, warm on the feet and nice to look at. Fit is the catch, with several saying they run small and narrow, and durability is mixed.
Heads up: Many owners find they run small, and wide feet should pick one of the Wide sizes, which RockDove makes in most bands.
A closer look: On the stairs, the fitted upper and the lip at the back help stop it from flopping off. When it needs a freshen-up, the whole slipper goes in the washing machine; let it dry naturally afterwards so the memory foam keeps its shape.
- Machine washable
- Memory foam insole
- Heel lip keeps it on
- Lets feet breathe
Best for: Summer and winter evenings
- Style
- Open back
- Upper and lining
- Cotton-blend waffle knit
- Sole
- Rubber, indoor/outdoor
- Sizes
- Bands 7-8 to 13-14, plus 10.5 and 15; Wide too
#5Lulex Moccasin Slippers (brown)
$10–$20
A classic moccasin in brown microsuede with a stitched toe, a plush faux-fur lining and collar, and a hard rubber sole that’s fine for walking the dog without changing shoes.
What owners say: Warm and toasty, nicely made and a pleasure to walk in, by owners’ accounts. Fit is less predictable, with some finding them large and missing half sizes, and grip splits opinion too.
Heads up: There are no half sizes apart from 10.5, and some find them roomy, so go down if you’re between sizes.
A closer look: The memory foam molds to the foot over the first week or so, and the closed back and furry collar keep the heel warm on cold floors. With that hard sole, a wet porch or the garage floor is no problem.
- Stitched moccasin toe
- Memory foam molds to foot
- Furry collar warms the heel
- Machine washable
Best for: Dog walks and wet porches
- Style
- Moccasin
- Upper and lining
- Microsuede, faux-fur lining
