9 best women’s slippers for ultimate comfort this winter

When it comes to the sheepskin lining, these slippers are 100 per cent the real deal. Promising to keep your feet at the perfect temperature, you shouldn’t overheat or feel too cold.

To add to the comfort factor, the inner sole features memory gel, so they mould to your feet. The sole is very chunky and hardwearing, and they’re incredibly well made, which means that while these slippers are on the pricier side, they should last you years. Think of them as an investment in your comfort.

We were amazed at the quality of these slippers, which look considerably more expensive than they are. Thanks to a faux-fur lining, they’re soft and snuggly, too. While they’re not the most breathable, we didn’t end up with sweaty feet, despite wearing them all day.

The hard sole and pared-back style appealed to us – these are slippers that are going to suit most people’s tastes and lifestyles. They’re also machine washable, should you “accidentally” wear them outside and get them wet in the rain. We’re not here to judge.

The White Company’s slippers have achieved cult status. While a more affordable choice, the design is strikingly similar to the Birkenstock shearling Arizonas. They’re soft and comfortable, and we liked that they could definitely pass for weekend streetwear, too. The soles are hard and will last ages, whether you use them outdoors or not.

If you like warm toes and ankles, these probably aren’t the slippers for you, unless you wear them with socks – they don’t have a huge amount of coverage compared with others in this review. But they’re comfy and look nice, so a big thumbs up from us.

If you suffer from foot issues, such as plantar fasciitis, you’ll likely find that slippers are too flat and can exacerbate foot strain. These M&S slippers may be the answer, as they feature internal “secret support”, and the arches mould to your feet. Is the support the same as orthopaedic insoles? No. Did they relieve aching feet that long for some arch support? Yes.

Besides the arch support, they’re soft, cosy and easy to put on. Our feet were comfortable and warm all-day-long, although, we found the coverage across the ankle to be non-existent.

These slippers are as cute as a button, in their candyfloss-pink colourway. Owing to the fact they’re made from polyester, some people might not find them to be particularly breathable, but we didn’t have any issues and instead found them to be cosy and comfortable.

We loved that they felt lightweight and we didn’t find ourselves clumping or sliding around the house like we’re liable to do in other slippers. However, there’s no hard sole, which is fine if you keep them for indoor wear only.

These Totes slippers provide maximum coverage. They come up well past your ankle, all lined in faux fur, and kept us cosy on even the dullest, greyest winter days. Boot slippers tend to have soft soles that won’t go the distance, so we loved that there’s a hard sole on this design, meaning we could wear them outside when on quick errands or in the garden.

Sinking your feet into a pair of these is next-level snug. Uggs are made from temperature-regulating sheepskin, so your feet will be kept at the perfect temperature. Their own little microclimate, if you will.

The backless shape is timeless, and these will appeal to all ages. Incredibly well-made, this design will likely last for years. The hard sole is durable enough for quick outdoor excursions. However, we found it wasn’t quite as thick as we’d like – spillages on the floor are hard to avoid with such thin soles, and these slippers are spot-clean only.

This hybrid of a heated slipper and foot warmer has been designed for at-home use, whether cosied up on the sofa or working at your desk. The roomy design reaches up to your ankles, to make sure you’re kept as toasty as possible.

The inner lining is removable and machine washable, and the foot warmer comes complete with a long cord and remote control with three heat settings for finding the perfect temperature.

Using just 24W an hour, the foot warmer costs around 1p per hour to run, according to the brand. So, if your usual pair of slippers doesn’t cut it, Beurer’s foot warmer is a low-energy way to keep out the chill.

Whether you’re looking for a luxe slipper or a piece of fashion-forward footwear, Russell & Bromley’s backless slip-ons will certainly elevate your wardrobe for 2024. Part clog, part loafer, the shoes are characterised by their backless design, white faux-shearling lining and trim, gold buckle detailing and taupe suede outer.

Thanks to the functional outdoor sole and smart detailing of the buckle, the hybrid shoe is a perfectly acceptable workwear choice, while the shearling lining will ensure elevated comfort if you choose to wear them as slippers when working from home. If you’re looking for a multi-purpose slipper, Russell & Bromley’s snug clog is well worth the investment and, better still, it’s currently on sale.
