![]() “I am pleasantly surprised that these are extremely comfortable,” says Ginger Cowles, a managing editor and member of the slippers evaluation team. These slippers are made with ethylene-vinyl acetate foam, a form of plastic that softens and molds to the foot with time, and is lined with faux fur. Why we loved them: Three out of four evaluators found themselves head over heels with the Lined Crocs. And they’re not particularly quick to slip into like many other slippers instead, you have to wiggle your foot into them, similar to how you’d put on a standard shoe. The leather sole also gets a bit stained if you’re wearing them in the kitchen, so if you care about how the soles of your slippers look, again, consider the rubber-soled option. Things to note: The leather soles are not super slick-they have some texture, which gives it a little bit of grip-but those with mobility concerns may want to consider the Glerups with a rubber sole, which we didn’t evaluate. They’re also attractive, albeit a bit granola: “I feel like a self-satisfied academic when I wear them-in a good way,” says Laura Murphy, a writer who helped evaluate the slippers. The wool is cut into single pieces then workers glue, then sew, the leather soles to the bottom of the slipper.īecause they’re handcrafted with natural materials, they’re a bit pricier than our other picks-but they’ll likely last longer than many other options, potentially making the cost worth it if you have enough for the initial splurge. “They’re super light and easy to move around in.” Felted wool is wool that’s been washed so that it’s soft and pliable. “Feels like I’m wearing nothing at all,” says Perry Santanachote, a writer and one of four evaluators. The felted wool upper is warm, breathable, and not at all itchy. Why we loved them: The Glerups were an overall top-tier pick for our entire team. ![]() But other features, such as stability and appearance, mattered in our assessments, too. We evaluated slippers, first and foremost, according to how warm they kept our feet. We discovered some real clunkers, as well as some slippers that, while not exactly super cozy and warm, are great options for people who need only a little bit of heat alongside some support. We clunked around our steadily cooling East Coast apartments in eight diverse pairs of slippers, including L.L.Bean Wicked Good Moccasins, Ugg Fluff Yeahs, and the undoubtedly polarizing faux fur-lined Crocs. My team and I, some of whom already have slippers they’d die for and some of whom (me) are still searching for their slipper holy grail, set out to find which of the most trendy and popular women’s slippers on the market right now are the best options for cold feet. L.L.Bean, meanwhile, has grown from being merely the brand of flannels that outdoorsy folks wrap themselves in while chopping firewood in Maine to being full-fledged cool. PS - I don’t normally scrub the bottom of my shoes - but to really test out the product I figured let’s use it on the dirtiest part of the shoe.But their looks matter, too-which is why celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid, and Megan Fox have all been seen promenading before the paparazzi in their Ugg Fluff Yeah Slide slippers while doing errands. If y’all are digging it - I’ll post it on here and - if not I’ll only post on the latter. ![]() Let me know if you like these types of cleaning videos too - I have some more videos planned for my shoes + boot collection as well as leather bags. For added bonus, spraying hydrogen peroxide at the end also helps with whitening - so does putting the shoes out in the sun. Alternatively, I have also just used Dawn Powerwash and a toothbrush and had similar clean results. In this video I used a stuff brush and the Pink Miracle Shoe Cleaner (Amazon) - which you can use to clean a variety of different types of shoes. ![]() This same method can also be used to clean can as shoes (always test the products + techniques you’re using first). If you have a white pair that has seen better days - fortunately it’s a pretty quick fix. I know summer has ended but I think a lot of people still wear their summer slides - perhaps with socks though.
