Men's slippers: how to choose a truly comfortable pair

Men's slippers have long had a bad reputation: shapeless, dull, bought by default. Yet a good pair changes everyday life at home, especially in winter and when working from home. Here's how to choose a comfortable, warm and stylish pair.

In short

Closed slipper for warmth, clog for practicality.
A dense lining and a cushioned sole make all the comfort.
A non-slip sole is essential on tiles.
Check available sizes: many styles stop at EU 41.

Closed slipper or clog: which to choose?

The closed slipper wraps the whole foot and keeps the warmth in: the ideal choice if your feet are often cold. The clog, open at the back, slips on faster, breathes better and can also be worn outside. Many men opt for a lined clog in winter, which combines both advantages.

The criteria of a good men's slipper

A lining that keeps you warm without sweating

A dense faux-fur lining holds in the warmth while staying breathable. That's what lets you keep your slippers on for hours without clammy feet.

An insole that supports

A slipper that's too flat tires the foot over time. A cushioned footbed that follows the arch makes all the difference, especially if you spend the day at home.

A non-slip outsole

Stairs, tiles, varnished floors: a sole that grips prevents slips. If you often step outside, choose a treaded sole.

The right size

This is often where it falls short: many slippers stop at EU 41 or 42. Our Bormio lined clogs and our Sienna clogs come in EU sizes 36 to 47, in understated colours like black, brown or khaki.

What style for men's slippers?

Understated tones are the easiest to live with: black, brown, khaki, grey. Vegan suede gives a polished look, close to suede, far more elegant than a fleece slipper. An adjustable metal buckle gives a more structured, almost shoe-like look.

Caring for your slippers

A regular brush, a damp cloth on stains and air-drying are enough. All the steps are in our article how to wash and care for your slippers.

Frequently asked questions

What slipper size for a man who wears a 45?

Take your usual size, checking the length in centimetres in our size guide. Our clogs go up to EU 47.

Lined clog or slipper: which is warmer?

A slipper closed up to the ankle keeps a little more warmth. The lined clog, with its lining reaching the collar, is still very warm and more practical.
