The ongoing pandemic has changed many of our work uniforms in a big way. Many have traded in their loafers, flats, and heels for a pair of slippers that fit much better with this new lifestyle. But choosing the right pair is important. They're meant to be comfortable, after all.

Of course material is essential to maximum comfort for your feet, but so is the design. Do your feet feel supported as you sit at your desk, move around the kitchen, and go about your other daily tasks? We're here to help you choose by spotlighting 14 pairs of slippers that tick off all of our boxes.

I got these slippers a few Christmases ago, and they're just the best for keeping my feet nice and toasty in the winter. They're shearling-lined, so they're perfectly cozy to wear with or without socks, and they've held their shape nicely after plenty of indoor wear. The laces often come undone, but that's about the only flaw I can come up with for them. They're affordable at $79 (you can get them even cheaper during sales), they're durable, and the women's version comes in seven great colors and two widths. I've got the Neutral shade and my size 8 fits true to size. — Ellen Hoffman, executive editor

After trying many different slippers, from slip-ons to fuzzy cloud-like ones, these have quickly become my favorite. They're easy to slip on, and they have great grip so I never slip and slide when walking on tile or hardwood floors. The fuzzy lining keeps my toes warm and has stayed soft, even after wearing these slippers every day for a month. They fit very true to size and are an absolute steal for the price. — Paige DiFiore, lifestyle and entertainment editor for Insider Life

I got these slippers and a new puppy around the same time, and I was sure she'd eventually rip them to shreds. But they've held up to her fascination with the sturdy ties and shearling lining. Plus, they have a rubber sole, so I can wear them for quick trips outside during potty training. — Bartie Scott, small business editor

While Ugg has a lot of slipper options, I love the Tasmans for their versatility. The brand's proprietary wool insole is seriously plush — it feels like you're always standing on top of a luxurious rug. This pair also comes with a particularly durable yet lightweight outsole, making them a great choice for wearing outdoors. Because they're slip-ons and keep your whole foot covered, these are ideal for just throwing on with a pair of jeans or leggings when you're in a rush to get out of the house. The color offerings include chestnut and black, which both match pretty much everything. — Remi Rosmarin, former commerce reporter

For the longest time, I was a socks-only person. But Everlane's The ReNew Slipper has turned me into a slipper person, a feat I didn't think possible. Unlike most indoor footwear, the ReNew Slipper isn't impossibly fuzzy and warm. The lining is made from a low-pile, recycled polyester that feels like a shearling, so it keeps your feet cozy without causing them to sweat. 

The sturdy rubber outsole helps to support my feet and the nylon outer fabric is also clutch. It's easy to spot-clean, so should your morning coffee splash on your feet, you won't be left with a stain. The ReNew Slippers are the coziest slippers I've ever worn. And the chic, quilted pattern on the exterior makes them look chic, not hokey. The one drawback? The trim isn't elastic, so if you have a high instep, it might be a little tight at first. It took me a day of wear to break them in, and now they're super comfortable. — Maria Del Russo, senior style and beauty editor

These days, I'm living in two things: Black leggings and Ugg slippers. My fluffy Uggs are the first thing I slide on in the morning, and I wear them right up until the moment I'm climbing into bed. I love how cozy and warm and they are, but I also appreciate how functional the rubber lug sole is. I can wear these to check the mail or grab a package without thinking twice. The shearling lining will wear out eventually, but I don't mind knowing I've gotten my full use out of this pair. Even at $120, the cost-per-wear comes out to basically nothing. — Ashley Phillips, style and beauty editor

I'm on record as being more into "house shoes" than slippers, since super fuzzy, shearling-lined slides tend to make my feet too warm. The Ines Slide from TKEES, however, is the perfect bridge between a slipper and a shoe. Its chic, minimal silhouette actually looks as cute with jeans as it does with leggings, and the rubber sole is sturdy enough to withstand the occasional run to the market. But best of all, the short shearling interior is soft without being too warm. — Maria Del Russo, senior style and beauty editor

I was a big Ugg slipper person until the pandemic. I quickly realized that with daily wear, the shearling on the inside wore out so quickly that the slippers became too big to wear comfortably. So I purchased these as a replacement. After five months of wearing them, not only are they still the right size, but they are also warm, comfortable, and not at all worn out. I almost never take them off at this point. — Jana Meron, SVP programmatic & data strategy

The shearling in these slippers is moisture-wicking, so even though your feet may get a bit sweaty due to the limited breathability of the suede, they will still stay relatively dry. The shearling does get matted over years of wear, losing some of its initial fluffiness, but the integrity of the overall slipper has lasted very well. You can't slip them on — they require at least one hand to assist you in pulling them over your heel — but they're not going to fall off your feet as you rush around the house either. The Wicked Good Slippers don't have a rubber outsole, so they are indoor only. The leather sole isn't textured, and though I've never found them to be slippery, you may want to be careful on tile surfaces. — Michelle Ullman, freelance writer

Given my aversion to slippers, I spent the early part of my time working from home still wearing shoes around the house. It helped me feel a little more put-together. So when I saw The Slipper, which is the perfect ballet flat/slipper hybrid, I was thrilled. They look like Margaux's ballet flats, complete with the iconic bow above the toes, but are outfitted with a plush sole and Mongolian cashmere. They're definitely one of the more luxe pairs of slippers I've ever worn. But considering they're some of the only "shoes" I'm wearing these days, I'd say I deserve it. — Maria Del Russo, style and beauty guides editor

It wasn't until the pandemic that I realized I needed new slippers that could actually last. I landed on the Acorn Women's Spa Slide Slippers because they looked cozy — and they had the word "spa" in the name. After having owned a pair for nearly five months now, I can definitely vouch for its comfort and durability. These slippers are made of terry, a fabric you can find at many spas. And unlike other slippers that eventually flatten out and lose their support, this pair has footbeds that hold shape well. Plus, the velcro straps can easily be adjusted if you want a wider, or narrower, fit. I've also found the rubber outsoles to be especially sturdy and slip-free, which is handy for when I'm moving around the kitchen or rushing down the stairs. My size small slippers fit me perfectly and I'm a true size 6. — Katie Decker-Jacoby, former style & beauty reviews fellow

Like all Uggs, these are made with soft sheepskin. In fact, the sheepskin covers the entire shoe, save for the elastic back and sturdy rubber platform sole. That elastic back is actually pretty handy for folks who like an open-back slipper but find they slip off. And the open toe and backless silhouette ensure your feet don't overheat — even with all that sheepskin. My favorite part, though, has to be how supportive they are for my feet. The platform is lightweight but solid, and it makes for slippers that don't make my feet ache after extended wear. Plus, since the Fluff Yeah are technically slides, they're more than strong enough to be worn out — even around the corner to the market. — Maria Del Russo, style and beauty guides editor

I struggle with splurging on slippers because I know they won't last me too long with how often I wear them. This pair from Amazon is the perfect compromise. And thanks to quarantine, they get a lot of usage. It's a reasonably priced and comfortable buy. They fit me true to size and never slip off my feet. I've thrown them in the wash a few times, and it restores the slipper's fluff. The memory foam lasted me for about five to seven months until I decided to replace them with a new pair, which wasn't a hard sell considering the price. — Jacqueline Saguin, former style & beauty reviews fellow

Because there's a bin in my closet specifically devoted to fuzzy socks of all kinds, I've never been much of a slipper person. When I received these for Christmas, however, the game changed — and I've been practically living in them. They are my go-to footwear when I hop out of the shower or if I'm lounging around the house. The plush material provides a fluffy mat for your feet with a wide toe for both stability and comfort. I have the hot pink ones (to channel Elle Woods, of course), but they come in a variety of colors and make great gifts for a spa lover or anyone who gravitates toward fleece and fluff (a.k.a. me). And, for less than $20, they are a steal. — Victoria Giardina, former buying guides fellow

A quality pair of slippers is the best way to complete your home leisure outfits. Whether you work from home or like lounging around, the right slippers will keep your feet warm and comfortable. Instead of buying a cheap pair of slippers that won't last, it's best to get a good pair on sale during a shopping holiday like Black Friday or Cyber Monday . We've seen top brands like Ugg, L.L.Bean, and Birkenstock on sale at their lowest prices.
