Our editors have researched, tested, and read hundreds of customer reviews to find the most comfortable and durable slippers and house shoes—all from sustainable brands. These are our top picks.
Over the last few years, we’ve seen a boom in loungewear, transforming the embarrassing sweats we secretly wore around the house into chic sets of functional and comfortable designs. House shoes have also come a long way from the days of the clumsy bunny slippers we used to shuffle around the house in. Now we can find slippers for every region and season, with indoor/outdoor designs that make taking out the trash a quick chore without the wardrobe change.
While you’ve probably been investing in a sustainable home wardrobe, you can’t forget about a cozy pair of slippers! We’ve found top brands crafting the best in sustainable house shoes for you, your BFF, or your entire family, so everyone’s feet can stay toasty all year long.
Why consider sustainable slippers?
Sustainable slippers are more than just kind on your feet—they are kind to the environment, too. Many of these brands use eco-friendly and/or upcycled materials and responsible production methods to create their slippers. They also ensure fair labor practices throughout their supply chains and prioritize health by using natural and non-toxic materials that are better for both us and the environment. With better quality materials also comes better durability and longevity (very important for slippers!), meaning fewer replacements are needed helping you save money and reduce waste. By going sustainable when it comes to our slippers and house shoes, we can support innovation in the fashion industry, while driving positive change towards a more environmentally and socially responsible future.
