Investing in a pair of cozy slippers is always a good idea. And while the ones from your favorite hotel might have made it home with you, there are tons more styles, silhouettes, materials, and colors to choose from that offer even more comfort and support.
To narrow down a selection of the best women's slippers for both warm and cold weather, we turned to some of our favorite travel-friendly footwear and loungewear brands that consistently deliver when it comes to comfort and function. Expect an array of options like shearling-lined pairs, fuzzy slides, and open-toe picks.
While perusing our edit of comfortable women's slippers, you'll notice that quite a few of them have durable features like interior linings and rubber outsoles, making them suitable for outdoor wear, just in case you find yourself running down to the hotel lobby for coffee or out to the mailbox while wearing them. Similarly, several of them are machine washable for easy cleaning. Looking for slippers in men's sizes? We've got recs for those, too.

These newly launched slippers from Cozy Earth are seriously cozy—and I mean cozy! Made with ultra-soft sheep fur and a plush shearling lining, these chic slippers provide plenty of warmth on chilly fall and winter mornings. As warm as they are, they're also naturally odor-resistant and breathable, so you don't have to worry about your feet getting too hot. They offer a grippy, durable outsole, so while they're best for lounging indoors, they can also be worn outside if need be. What we love most about them, though, besides how they make your feet feel like they're resting on puffy clouds, is how elevated they look, making them a thoughtful gift for anyone you want to spoil (or yourself!).
Material: Sheep fur, plush shearling
These beloved Bombas slippers were recently redesigned with a thicker footbed for extra cushiony support. The soft lining is an added bonus, while the grips featured on the bottom of the shoe can help prevent accidental slips and falls when worn outside or on tile floors. It’s also worth mentioning that the slippers are designed to fold flat for easy packing, making them a must-have for travel.
Material: Acrylic, nylon, and wool
Condé Nast Traveler editors are big fans of all things Barefoot Dreams. The California-based brand is renowned for its super-soft blankets, pajamas, loungewear, and robes—so it comes as no surprise that the CozyChic ribbed slippers are equally, well, cozy. The shoes’ ribbed knit construction offers a lot of warmth, softness, and durability. To top it off, they’re machine washable.
Material: Polyester microfiber
While your winter wardrobe likely contains a cashmere sweater or two, don’t sleep on these aptly named Cozy Cashmere Slides. Thanks to the slip-on slides’ sumptuous cashmere construction and breathable, thermal-insulating fibers, they’ll keep your feet warm and toasty—but not sweaty—all winter long. Plus, the padded footbed offers an extra layer of pillowy soft comfort.
Material: Cashmere
Another top contender for the best women's slippers are these Turkish cotton slippers from Parachute. The high-quality, comfortable slippers are as soft as a terry cloth towel and can be tossed in the laundry machine to clean.
Material: Turkish cotton terry cloth
There's something special about slipping on a pair of hotel slippers and a big fuzzy robe after a lengthy post-flight shower. And if your favorite hotel is The Ritz-Carlton, it's only right you'd be partial to these ultra-lightweight Frette slippers. Toss these on at home to be transported right back into vacation mode.
Material: Polyester velour
These ultra-comfortable, non-slip chenille house slippers feature memory foam soles infused with temperature-regulating tech that keeps sweaty feet at bay.

Headed to the airport? Reach for these best-selling easy-on, easy-off suede Uggs with a rubber sole. Durable and warm, they'll get plenty of use at home, too—they are just the thing for slipping on and off when it's time to walk the dog or get the mail.
Material: Shearling, wool, and suede
L.L.Bean fans rave about these clog-like slippers for their arch support, heel cushioning, and playful patterns, from turtles to moose to ombré forest trees. They have a fleece lining and rubber anti-slip sole, and are roomy enough to wear your thickest socks underneath in colder months, making them our top pick for cold feet.
Material: Wool, fleece
If not for how comfy they are, you’d forget these shoes from Birdies are actually slippers. Fortunately, they’re just as supportive as they are stylish: The footbeds feature seven layers of cloud-like comfort, while the non-slip rubber sole is ideal for stepping outside. It’s also worth noting that The Dove comes in a variety of colors and materials to suit every style—some even feature fun embellishments like tassels and pom-poms. The slip-on design and pointed-toe silhouette add an extra-fashionable flair.
Material: Suede, satin, leather, lace
Moccasin-style slippers are ideal for wearing in and out of the house, whether you're curled up by your Airbnb's fireplace or running out to grab a maple latte. These fall staples are lined with the same Ugg fleece you know and love inside the brand's classic boots, offering all the same warmth without the bulk. They're lightweight enough to toss in your suitcase and last for years—senior commerce editor Madison Flager has had a pair for over a decade.
Material: Suede, wool, and lyocell
While these are technically outdoor shoes, they are machine washable, meaning they’re easy to clean off and rewear as house shoes, and are comfortable enough to have on all day. Like many Allbirds shoes, they’re made with merino wool and have a castor bean insole to cushion your foot and minimize odor (they're meant to be worn sans socks). For those who want to feel like they're putting on a pair of shoes without sacrificing comfort, these are a good slipper-shoe hybrid.
Material: Merino wool
We couldn't resist adding another pair of Ugg slippers to our list. The Coquette, another style from the cult-favorite shoe brand, is all about the fluff. These slip-ons are made for those extra cold winter days when you're wearing your favorite hoodie and leggings. They are comfy and durable, warm, and double as outdoor slippers thanks to the grippy sole.
Material: Sheepskin, suede
It's easy to see why this under-$25 Amazon find has racked up over 23,000 five-star ratings. The slippers are ridiculously soft and just the right amount of over-the-top, yet still practical—the shoe has a thick memory foam insole that retains its shape even after daily wear.
Material: Fleece
Inspired by the slippers found in your favorite hotel spa, these super-soft slippers are constructed with ultra-absorbent terry cloth fabric. As such, they’re ideal for slipping on for post-shower lounging—especially when paired with an equally plush bathrobe.

These EMU Australia Mayberry slippers stand out for their fantastically fluffy sheepskin construction, which, despite its softness, is known for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties. They’re also outfitted with lightweight thermoplastic rubber outsoles for extra traction and support, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor wear. While the slippers will initially feel firm, they’re designed to mold to your feet over time to ensure a comfortable—and completely custom—fit.
Material: Sheepskin
These fluffy, open-toe slippers are just as comfy as they are cute. They feature a satin bow on the front, adding a fun and feminine flare to the classic slipper look. Ultra-soft and lightweight, these will make a perfect gift for any occasion.

One part slipper, one part flip-flop, the Kipea Heu slide is perfect for wearing both in and out of the house. The cushy, contoured footbed provides long-lasting support, while the fluffy shearling material adds an extra layer of warmth and softness. Think of the slippers as pillows for your feet—because that’s exactly how they feel.
Materials: Shearling, leather
Rounding out our list is yet another pair of sheepskin slippers, these ones from fan-favorite brand Minnetonka. As previously mentioned, sheepskin is naturally moisture-wicking and, as such, offers thermoregulating properties to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In short, this makes them ideal for year-round wear.
