Best slippers for women – closed-back: The Giesswein Vent Lodge slipper is an “orthopedic experience extraordinaire,” as described by a happy Zappos customer. A natural boiled wool upper keeps toes comfortably warm in winter but is breathable so you don’t have to worry about overheating, even in warmer weather.

Slippers with Arch Support

If you need men’s or women’s slippers with Arch Support, look no further  – the best part about these Austrian-made slippers is their highly supportive, removable footbed. Keep it in for low to moderately high arches, remove and add your own orthotics for high arches. (The removable footbed also means they’re machine washable!)  A slip-resistant waterproof outsole allows for a quick trip to the mailbox or a once-around-the-block with the dog. Be advised: this slipper runs small. I recommend ordering a size or two from your normal European size. Available in European sizes 36-48 and in seven colors for $134 from Zappos.

If Giesswein comfort features sound appealing but you prefer an open-back or bootie style slipper, click here to check out their full line of best slippers for women (some including cute patterns).

Best “shoe” slipper: Stegmann Original 108 clog. If you’re a Stegmann owner, I don’t need to sell you on their excellent support (including metatarsal pad), generous toe box and overall comfort – you understand. If you’re new to the brand, read Kirsten’s review for more information on this wonderful European brand.

Based on personal experience, the Stegmann cork and latex midsole with enhanced arch support and deep heel cup is just what my feet need to absorb the shock of wood floors while keeping plantar fasciitis flares to a minimum. The rubber traction sole allows me to walk confidently outside to bring the trash cans in or even venture out on a quick grocery run.

If plush cushioning is what you’re after, you may want to consider one of our other recommendations. While the cork midsole is shock absorbing, there’s a sturdy feel to these slipper shoes. Available in sizes 6-11 from StegmannUSA.com.

Best warmer weather slippers with arch support: Vionic Relax

My feet feel better just looking at these: orthotic footbed with deep heel cup and enhanced arch support, soft terry linings and straps, adjustable mid-foot closure for snug fit. Rhonda, a loyal Vionic customer raves, “I can’t live without these slippers. I have a pair at work & 2 pair at my house & 2 pair at my vacation house. My plantar fasciitis is gone. Love ‘em!”

Find the Vionic Relax in whole sizes 5-12. Best fits a medium to slightly wide foot. $64.95 from VionicShoes.com, Zappos, and Amazon.

Another “not-too-hot” slipper with moderate arch support: Olukai Nohea slipper. Do your feet overheat uncomfortably in heavily-lined slippers? The Nohea slipper is lined with temperature-regulating sheepskin shearling for a cozy, not sweaty slipper experience! A removable merino wool insole offers moderate arch support and a “drop-in” heel allows converts the slipper into a slip-on. An added plus if you have balance or gait problems, the super-flat sole won’t trip you up and allows your foot to feel the floor. Find the Olukai Nohea slipper in whole sizes 5-11 (order up if between sizes) for $119.95 from Zappos, and Nordstrom.

Best slipper that doubles as a cute, stylish flat: Birdies “The Starling”

Have you heard of Birdies? They were originally designed as a stylish footwear option for home entertaining with comfort features like dual-layered high-density foam with moderate heel and arch support and a non-slip sole. Customers love the soft, cozy fit and feel of their Birdies, plus they’re as cute as can be! Find Birdies in three styles, a variety of pretty colors and patterns in sizes 5-12 for $95-165 from Birdies.com.

Best slippers for large and/or wide feet with bunions and hammertoes: Drew Comfy. Reviews are coming in five-star for this orthopedic slipper by Drew. Not only is this wonder slipper orthotic friendly, it features extra depth in the toe box to accommodate sensitive toes due to neuropathy, bunions and hammertoes. A steel shank offers durable support. Find the Drew Comfy in sizes 5-13, three widths for $139.95 from Zappos.

Best orthotic-friendly slipper: Keen Howser II Slide. What a cute slipper! A nice wide toe box accommodates bunions while a removable footbed allows for use of orthotics if necessary. A Zappos customer praises this slipper by Keen, “I struggle with mid-foot arthritis, plantar’s issues and a heel spur, and while I’ve been told to wear orthotics 24/7, I hate wearing a heavy shoe all the time. I bought these because they have a removable insole, a slightly higher back for a slide, and a soft. They are great with my orthotics in and very comfy.” The Keen Howser II slide is available in whole and half sizes 5-11 (even the hard-to-find 10.5) for $69.95-79.95 from Zappos and KeenFootwear.com; $38-56 at Amazon.

Sorel Nakiska II Slide

Best slipper slide: Sorel Nakiska II Slide.  You may be familiar with Sorel’s popular boots, but did you know they also make slippers? The Sorel Nakiska Slide gets literally hundreds of five-star online reviews, many from people with plantar fasciitis, tailor’s bunions and other foot issues who think it’s one of the most comfortable slippers they’ve tried.  The Sorel Nakiska has good arch support, a roomy toe box, and a plush wool blend lining.  Available in sizes 5-12 for $70 from Sorel.com, Zappos and Amazon. If you have trouble keeping slides on your feet, consider the Sorel Nakiska slipper, which has similar styling and features but comes up higher on the heel. The new Sorel Nakiska scuff is for feet that can’t take any lip (on the back of the heel, that is).

For extended sizes, consider the Tempurpedic Kensley. And if you need an extra wide slipper, take a look at Padders of UK. Do you need a more affordable slipper? Look at the Freewaters Chloe for $45 (plenty of 5 star reviews).
