Slipper Reviews and Buying Guide:

There's nothing more comfortable than to come home from a long day at work and slip off your work shoes and slip into a pair of slippers. Slippers come in a variety of styles for comfortable wear around the house, bedroom, or even outdoors. Booties are boot-like slippers usually worn by babies or small toddlers. Moccasins are made from deerskin or soft leather and originated from the Native Americans. Scuffs are slippers that have no fitting around the heel and are often referred to as "open back slipper". Sheepskin slippers are very popular and usually have a wool muff that rolls down or up. Outdoor slippers often have hard soles and need to be weather treated for protection. Unlike regular shoes, many slippers only come in 5 sizes (small, medium, large, extra large, and xxtra large) so make sure you check with the brands sizing chart for a direct translation to your shoe size. Slippers are meant to fit rather loose (floppy), so don't think you are going to buy the perfect fit slipper. Slippers are made from sheepskin, cotton, suede or leather. Keep in mind that people with sweaty feet will have a hard time with sheepskin slippers (take it from me).



If you are going to shop online for slippers, we recommend Onlyslippers.com since they focus their inventory only on slippers and not other types of shoes. They carry all the top brands like Daniel Green, Minnetonka, Hush Puppies, Old Friend, Jacques Levine, L.B. Evans, US Sheepskin, Nixes, Woolrich, Robeez, Acorn, Sundance and Amy Jo Gladstone. You can choose from slipper themes like sports, animals, fun, or novelty as well as indoor and outdoor slippers. Choose from a complete line of mens slippers, womens slippers, and kids slippers. What makes a slipper comfortable? It should be soft on the foot, but have a solid bottom for traction. I found that the pair of slippers I recently bought for my wife had very little grip on the bottom and she almost fell down our carpeted stairs with our newborn baby. We have since switched brands, but definitely be warned when buying those with flat, smooth bottoms. The dearfoam slippers for women are cheap and should give you a few years of life before they fall apart. Sheepskin slippers are great for those with cold feet, but if you have sweaty feet, stay away from these unless you plan on wearing socks with them. Slipper reviews - we found dozens on websites like Buzzillions and Amazon.com. There's nothing like reading up on a particular model before making a purchase. Owner feedback can be invaluable - it's good to know how durable and comfortable a pair of slippers are when they've been worn for a while. RECOMMENDED - We suggest shopping onlien at Amazon.com since they have a great return policy if needed. You can browse their top selling womens slippers and mens slippers online here.

Womens Slippers:

Ok ladies - need a good pair of slippers? Amazon is the best source online for ladies footwear and their sizes fit almost anyone (3 to 16). Need a special width? They probably have it covered - 4E, 2E, narrow, 4A, or double wide. Want a particular color? Choose from all your favorite - black, while, pink, beige, brown, etc. When it comes to styles there is literally something for everyone. Get booties, scuffs, slides, thongs, or wool slippers. Some of the most popular womens slippers include the Tamarac by Slippers International Women's Highlander Sheepskin Cuff Bootie, ACORN Women's New Spa Thong, and the UGG Coquette. Some are best for indoor use while others are perfectly capable of being worn indoors or outside. Guys, if you are ordering for your lady, make sure you know her shoe size and pick a color that she likes. I have found that slippers make a great gift come Christmas time when the nights and early mornings are cold. You can browse the top selling womens slippers on Amazon.com here.

Slippers for Men:

Mens slippers are much better than they used to be than when I was growing up. I remember my Dad in the same old pair each year, seems like the selection was very limited. Now, men can select from different styles, colors, and materials - much like women have over the last few decades. The best selling mens slippers are the Radio Tyme Slip On Slippers by L.B. Evans ($39.98) - snug fit yet still comfortable, Klondike Slip On Slippers by L.B. Evans ($39.99) - my personal favorite, Aristocrat Opera Slippers by L.B. Evans ($54.98), Old Friend Bootee ($44.99), Minnetonka Double Bottom Soft Sole Moccasin ($59.99) - wear them anywhere, NothinZ Mens Breeze ($26.98) - not my style, but very comfortable and modern looking, Old Friend Terry Cloth Moccasins ($39.99) - probably the most popular style on the market for men. Hush Puppies makes some great mens slippers as well with their Admiral Slippers ($59.99) - oiltanned leather, Tyler Slippers ($59.99) - durable suede, great indoors or out, Mens college Clogs ($49.97), Cody Slippers ($59.99) and Dustin Slippers ($59.99) - easy to slipon and openback gives you plenty of circulation. RECOMMENDED - We suggest you browse the entire collection of mens slippers online.
