The 12 Best Outdoor Slippers of 2024

Best Overall

Glerups Slip-on with Rubber Sole

View On Amazon View On Backcountry.com $135 View On Glerups.com $135

Don’t let the “shoe” in the name fool you, these are some of the most comfortable slippers you can find, inside or out. Glerups are made from a mixture of merino and Gottland sheep wool that will shape to your feet, providing flexible comfort while still keeping your feet supported (yes, even your arches). The wool build also means they’re naturally temperature-regulating, keeping you cool or warm as the weather requires, and its moisture-wicking and odor-absorbing capabilities make sweaty, smelly feet a thing of the past. (Especially important if you’re sharing a small cabin later.) On the bottom, a rubber sole provides traction against any roots or rocks you may encounter (though may be slippery on wet and icy surfaces). We also appreciate that they use a renewable resource in wool, rather than going for synthetic composition.

The size range is extensive (an EU 35 is roughly a US women’s 5, while an EU 51 is around a US men’s 17), and there’s a variety of mix-and-match color combinations for the upper and sole. Not that we think you’d have any trouble with these, but for an easy on/off option or lower heel, you can go for the Glerups slides, or if you want extra warmth up your ankles, they also come in a boot style. All models are also available with a softer leather sole if you prefer your slippers to stay indoors, so there’s a style for everyone.

Best Style

Sorel Ona RMX Puffy Slip-on Mule

View On Zappos $60 View On Sorel.com View On Bergdorfgoodman.com

Style is deeply subjective, but if you’re looking for a pair of slippers that feels like streetwear, go for the Sorels. In addition to the fun finish, you still get 300 grams of insulation in the puffy and breathable upper, which is also waterproof to protect against stray splashes. A removable microfleece EVA footbed makes sure every step feels equally fluffy, helped out by the foam midsole and molded rubber sole. There’s also a pull tab on the back of the heel so you can easily get in or out, which is especially convenient if you’re wearing these through an airport. We love the pop-y neon shades, but there are three more neutral options in the women’s style as well. (Men, unfortunately, only get two colors to choose from: black or olive.)

The Details: Women’s 5 to 12; men’s 7 to 15 | Polyester, EVA, and rubber

Best Heated

Sharper Image Heated Indoor/Outdoor Slippers

View On Sharperimage.com

In our search for the best heated slippers, we found that Sharper Image offers the best heated indoor/outdoor style. When the firepit just isn’t enough, these slippers run on rechargeable batteries to heat your feet up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. You’ll also be able to tramp around comfortably, thanks to water-resistant nylon uppers, a grippy rubber outsole, and memory foam insoles. One charge (which you replenish via plugging into an AC outlet) will keep the slippers warm for up to seven hours, and you can choose between three heat settings (95, 110, and 130 degrees Fahrenheit). The sizing is a bit tricky, as it’s letter-based rather than numerical and runs small, so order a size up from your regular shoe size to make sure you’re comfortable rather than cramped. They’re also on the heavy side at 1 pound per slipper, so not ideal if you’re carrying your gear.

The Details: S to XXL | materials

Best for Camping

Teva Slip-ons

View On Amazon $108 View On REI $80 View On Nordstrom $56

If you want something comfy to hang out around the campfire, go for the ReEmber. The upper is made of recycled ripstop and treated with a protective coating that will cause water to bead off, rather than soak through, just in case of rain, while the heel collapses so you can easily slide it on and off when going in and out of your tent. There’s also a recycled microfiber lining and EVA midsole so it’s equally soft underfoot as it is around it, while a rubber outsole keeps you protected against ground hazards. You get nine standard colors to choose from, plus five current seasonal options, so you can match your favorite tent or hiking pants. There’s also a slip-on Terrain model available and a Terrain Mid for those in search of a higher rise.

The Details: 4M/6W to 13M/15W | Recycled polyester, EVA, and rubber

Best Insulated

Outdoor Research Tundra Trax Booties

View On REI $49 View On Outdoorresearch.com

When you need to stay extra-warm, opt for the Outdoor Research Tundra Trax. The shell is water-resistant and wind-resistant but still breathable, and you can cinch the top with a drawcord to keep the cold from sneaking in. There are also mud guards and rubber traction soles to guard against the outside, while a PrimaLoft insulation stays warm even when it gets wet. Memory foam insoles, meanwhile, keep everything comfortable on the inside. Both women and men get three different styles to choose from, two solids and one print. Just note that at 1.06 pounds, they’re also on the heavier side.

The Details: Women’s XS to XL; men’s S to XL | Polyester, EVA, and rubber

Best Waterproof

The North Face ThermoBall Traction Mules V

View On Backcountry.com $59 View On The North Face $59 View On Dick's $59

When you need your slippers to conquer the snow, your best bet is the North Face ThermoBall collection. A ripstop upper is treated with a DWR finish, and if any moisture does get in, the lightweight insulation still maintains warmth when wet. A fleece collar lining feels soft underfoot, and when you’re ready to take them off, the collapsible heels with elastic side panels make it easy to do so. High-traction rubber outsoles also help prevent slipping in any puddles. Both men and women get an impressive amount of colors to choose from as well, and if you want full splash protection, opt for the booties and not a single drop will sneak in.

The Details: Women’s 5 to 11; men’s 7 to 14  | Recycled polyester and rubber

Best Shearling

Ugg Tasman Slipper

View On Amazon $110 View On Nordstrom $110 View On Zappos $110

You knew there were going to be Uggs on here somewhere. The Tasmans claimed the top honors in our best slipper tests for their quality materials and high level of durability. The shearling interior and foam footbed give you a comfortable landing with every step without getting too hot. And they can comfortably hit the winter streets too, since they have the same outsole as Ugg’s Classic Boots and an enclosed build, with a stylish ankle collar and eight colors available. There’s even a platform variation.

The Details: Women’s 5 to 12; men’s 7 to 18 | Sheepskin, wool, and foam

Best Fur

Manitobah Street Moc

View On Zappos $50 View On Manitobah.com

For super-soft feel and excellent protection against the cold, go for the Manitobah Street Moc. Manitobah is an Indigenous-owned company and works with Indigenous artists to honor this traditional footwear style. The fur ankle cuff and fleece footbed stay extremely warm and cozy no matter how low the temperature drops, and the multiple colors available and beadwork front will also still look stylish on the street. These can stand up to a little moisture but shouldn’t get soaked, so leave them inside if it’s wet out.

The Details: Women’s 5 to 11 | Fleece, suede, rabbit fur

Best Arch Support

Vionic Gemma Mule Slippers

View On Zappos $31 View On Shoemall.com

It’s always good to have arch support, even just around your house. Vionic takes this idea seriously, and the slip-on Gemma mules feature a podiatrist-designed structure that’s contoured for arch support and deep heel cup to prevent pronation and even help realign your stride. They’re still soft though, thanks to a terry cloth footbed and liner and shock-absorbing EVA midsole, and a hook-and-loop closure lets you adjust the fit of the top so you aren’t sliding around. The exterior is also fuzzy, which may pick up a bit more dirt on the trail, but it shouldn’t be a problem if you’re more of a city walker. If you want a slightly different style, the open-toed Relax and quilted Carlin have also received the APMA stamp. While there isn’t an equivalent men’s version, men in the slipper market can opt for the loafer-style Adler for their own APMA-approved option from the brand.

The Details: Women’s 5 to 12 | Terrycloth, EVA, and rubber

Most Versatile

OluKai Nohea Slipper

View On Amazon $130 View On Nordstrom $130 View On Dick's $130

These slippers almost look like shoes, but the shearling lining will remind you of just how cozy they still are despite the loafer-like exterior. The heel is collapsible for easy on and off, whether that’s for the TSA or a temple entry, and the contoured footbed is both comfortable and supportive. (It’s also removable and washable in case of any sweatiness.) While the men’s Moloa version only has two colors, versus the women’s three, it still has all the same features and smooth appearance. Just try not to get them too wet, as shearling isn’t the most moisture-friendly material.

The Details: Women’s 5 to 11 | Shearling and nubuck leather

Best Cushioned

Dearfoams Shearling Scuff Slipper

View On Amazon $60 View On Macy's $38 View On Jcpenney.com

If you’re after the squishiest foam underfoot you can get, try Dearfoams. Just slide them on and you’re good to go; the shearling sheepskin interior helps absorb and release moisture, so you won’t have to worry about getting sweaty on the way. The EVA outsole can handle walks around the block (though we wouldn’t recommend it as a camp slipper), while the memory foam footbed makes sure you’re doing so in comfort. There are more than 20 colors available as well, and for this price, you could invest in multiple pairs. While the Sydney is a women’s style, those who prefer a men’s style can opt for the similar Grafton, which is slightly less fluffy but still equally padded. Just beware of getting the external shearling accents too wet.

The Details: Women’s 6 to 11 | Sheep fur, EVA
