From the jersey knit to the terry lining and faux fur trim, these slippers pack a pretty major punch. Alvarez recommends them for both the memory foam footbed and durable sole. “The plush memory foam footbed molds to your foot, providing personalized arch support,” he says. Plus, “the durable sole allows for light outdoor wear.” The sole is anti-slip, too, so you can wear them without the added fear of skidding across slick hardwood floors.

Anyone who’s a fan of ballet flats (*raises hand*) will love walking around the house in these adorable Isotoner slippers. Alvarez recommends them for a host of good-for-the-feet reasons, too. “These slippers offer arch support through a cushioned insole and have a flexible fit that adapts to your foot shape,” he says. “They are lightweight and breathable, making them ideal for year-round wear.”

The ballerina slippers are finished with sweet satin bows at the toes. Plus, the stretch terry fabric is machine washable, so you can throw them in once they’re looking a little worse for wear.

Confession: I’m wearing these slippers as I type—even though it’s currently 89 degrees in Los Angeles. That’s due in large part to the fact that the genuine Australian shearling is so incredibly comfy, I just can’t help but slide them on every day. I’m not always a fan of clogs, since they tend to slide off my feet easily. However, these actually conform to my feet and stay in place, thanks to snug-fitting tops and a slightly raised cap around the heel.

The treaded rubber outsoles make them good for everything from walking on my hardwood floors to running errands. I already own them in pink, and am considering a host of other hues since they’re so inexpensive for the quality.

The quality is undeniable, too—I’ve owned the same pair of slippers for at least 10 years, and they’re still in perfect condition.
