Slippers are a throwback to another era. Picture old movie stars, like Clark Gable, puttering around his Hollywood Hills style mansion in just the right pair of slippers and velvet robe. There is a certain glamour to wearing a great pair of slippers around your home. In practical terms, they keep your feet clean if your floors aren’t as pristine as they should be. Plus, if you live in a place that has a colder climate in the winter, you’d be amazed at how warmer you’ll feel with a cozy pair of slippers covering your bare toes. Let’s look at the best of men’s slippers for comfort and protection you’ll want to buy right now.
Bombas Men’s Gripper Slippers
Are you always slipping around the floors in your house? Wood floors will do that to you. You won’t have this problem when wearing Bombas Men’s Gripper Slippers. These cozy slippers are a cross between a fluffy sock and a traditional slipper. The lining inside is super warm with a brushed faux fur, while the outside has traction grippers on the bottom to prevent sliding all over the place. They come in four different color patterns and include a travel pouch. You’re going to want to snag a few pairs of these to have on hand at all times.
Greys The Outdoor Slipper
Some slippers are not rugged enough for a walk outside. This is not the case for Greys The Outdoor Slipper. You can feel free to walk down your driveway to grab the mail or the morning paper. Just kidding, people don’t get the newspaper much anymore, but feel free to take a walk around the block in these. They are crafted with wool on the outside and have a thick rubber sole for outdoor wear. There is also a “stub proof” toe box that reinforces protection for your tootsies in case you accidentally stub them on the coffee table or foot of your bed. How clever is that? These are definitely not your grandpa’s slippers with a modern silhouette that comes in a variety of neutral and blue tones.
L.L. Bean Men’s Wicked Good Scuffs
This moccasin style slipper is filled with warm shearling and are perfect for nights at home by the fire. L.L. Bean Men’s Wicked Good Scuffs are soft and durable with a reinforced sole that you can tread around outside a bit if you need to. It’s L.L. Bean’s most popular style with a pair being sold every 7 seconds in the month of December, according to what the company says. A pretty cool stat for a company that, if you were a kid in the 90s, you probably carried one of their backpacks with your initials on it. They only come in two colors, Brown and Kelp Green, which actually looks more like a gray. Both are neutral enough for a slipper that will truly become your favorite too.
Birkenstock Zermatt Shearling
If you prefer a clog-style slipper, the Birkenstock Zermatt Shearling is an impressive pair to have. If you have ever worn anything from Birkenstock, then you probably understand the comfort is out of this world amazing. These slippers are cozy to the max with a wool outside and a shearling footbed lining that feels like walking on a cloud. The footbed is going to mold to the shape of your foot, the more you wear them. And trust us, you’ll want to put these babies on the minute you get home from a long day of work.
Beckett Simonon Larsen Slippers
A slide-style slipper with actual leather material is this pair, the Beckett Simonon Larsen Slipper. It has a water-repellent suede sole that will allow you to traverse any floor type in your home. They come in two different pebbled leather shades of brown or black, but the coolest part about this pair is how you’ll be able to channel a little bit of that old school movie star style in them. You can bet that Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, or Carey Grant puttered around their home in a slipper that looked exactly like this one. A true classic.
Acorn Men’s Moc Slippers
A full slip-on choice is this pair, the Acorn Men’s Moc Slippers. Even though they cover your whole foot, the material is breathable and wicks moisture away from your feet. The sole is thick enough that you can even go outside in this pair with ease. With a footbed made of memory foam material that will shape to your foot more and more every time you wear them for total comfort. One of the most affordable pairs on this list, you’ll probably want a few of these in one of the ten color styles they offer. A tip to keep in mind from Acorn is that these run small, so order one size up from your normal shoe purchases.
Ugg Men’s Tasman Slipper
If it’s an Ugg, it’s bound to be comfortable. Otherwise, why would all those women go around wearing Ugg boots all year long? The Ugg Men’s Tasman Slipper is wool on the outside, real animal fur of sheep or lamb from Australia, and a thick sole that will allow you to tread outside, no problem. They come in 11 colors, so if you want to get creative with your slippers, go for the Samba Red or Classic Blue. Might as well have a little fun with your indoor footwear, right? It’s not like you’re wearing them to the office.
