Oofos got the seal of approval from every single podiatrist interviewed. What to Know: Look elsewhere on this list if you want a house shoe that'll keep your feet warm.

Price at time of publish: $133.06 - $135.00Īvailable sizes: EU 36 to 47 | Available colors: 24 | Fit: True to size | Width: Regular 'They have a wide toe box, are relatively flat and have just enough cushioning to feel comfortable without compromising foot function.' 'These would be a great option ,' says Alissa Kuizinas, DPM, and founder of Dr. Our testers noted that they're of 'very good' quality and should last a long time. If you have wide feet, however, the toe box provides a ton of room. One thing to note: During testing, we found that this style doesn't provide a ton of elevation from toe to heel-so if you have high arches it may not be right for you.

While they also come in leather soles that provide the same upper slipper (meaning they're just as breathable and odor-resistant), the rubber soles of these Glerups Slip-On Rubber Slippers are great for traction, providing support and stability. These wool slippers are perfect not only to keep your feet warm, but they're also A+ for breathability and odor-resistance-key when you have sweaty tootsies. Also, not the best fit if you have a high arch.

What to Know: Stick to this rubber-soled version, not the leather-sole version, for the best traction. What We Like: Odor-resistant and quite durable, these slippers also have a wide toe box, which is nice for everyone, especially those with wide feet. If you're looking for a version that's open-toed, the Relax Slippers from Vionic (view at Amazon) are also a solid bet and are great for those who have issues with hammer toes, bunions, or the like because they minimize rubbing.Īvailable sizes: 5 to 12 | Available colors: 22 | Fit: True to size | Width: Medium-Wide (regular) 'Overall, these are comfy and cozy house slippers,' says Tumen. The podiatrists that we chatted with also recommend these for those with plantar fasciitis, flat feet or even someone with arthritis of the foot, as they have a high level of arch support and also create stability for the wearer. We also found the materials to be durable in our tests, and the plush fabric stood up to wear and tear. We tested these cushiony slippers and found them to be soft and durable, with firm arch support and traction. And the Vionic Gemma Mule Slippers are no different. Vionic is known for being a podiatrist's best friend (quite literally-many of their products carry the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance). What to Know: The adjustable tab is a nice perk, but sometimes when the tab is pulled to tighten the fit, it can hang far down enough that it touches the ground. What We Like: With a high level of arch support and stability, podiatrists like these for people who suffer from various foot issues.

We polled podiatrists and tested quite a few pairs ourselves.

'Most foot pain can be resolved by wearing appropriate shoes that support the entire arch,' says Dana Canuso, D.P.M., a podiatric surgeon and founder of Dr. Having a pair of shoes that you exclusively wear in the house-aka house shoes-or supportive slippers can prevent and remedy a lot of pain or discomfort caused by ankle instability, diminishing fat pads at the bottom of your feet (which happens naturally as we get older), and more. sometimes changing shoes and wearing arch supports can limit foot pain.' Getting rid of foot pain often requires an overview of what could be causing your pain. 'Common foot pain causes include arthritis, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, neuromas, hammer toes, bunions, painful metatarsals, corns, and calluses. 'The foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles, and 109 ligaments, so a lot can go wrong as we overuse and abuse our feet daily,' says Douglas Tumen, D.P.M, F.A.C.F.A.S., a podiatrist based in New York and author of Ask the Foot Doctor. In fact, spending a lot of time barefoot can cause pain for some people. You might like walking around the house with bare feet, but your feet won't if you do it too often.
