Slippers test & comparison »top 11 in january 2020

The 11 best slippers (women and men) at a glance.

Sitting at home with cold feet: a caustic feeling that many of us probably know only too well. For winter we therefore recommend lined shoes, that also suit you in terms of design. Especially if you have laid a lot of parquet or laminate, slippers should also urgently be non-slip.

Such models are too warm in summer. Then rely primarily on breathable products, who completely do without lining. It is best to choose a suitable pair from our test or comparison table for both seasons. So are you well prepared for the whole year.

Slippers Buyer’s Guide:
How to choose the right product from the slippers test or comparison above

divide

Slippers increase domestic comfort by keeping your feet warm on cold days, softly playing around and allowing a firm, clean stand on smooth or dirty floors.
In general, the slipper is divided into robust mules for summer, flexible ballerina slippers, warming slippers and comfortable slippers, which can be made of felt, leather, wool or synthetics.
The fit of shoes is very important to enable an orthopedic sensible walk. Make sure that slippers tend to be 1-2 sizes smaller and that the felt and leather widen slightly after some wear.

"my home is my castle" – the English proverb expresses something very beautiful: at home you can be your own master and rule over your own square meters like a king or queen. In this small realm it is entirely up to you whether you clean the bathroom today or tomorrow and walk around in a tuxedo or jogging suit. To strengthen their own well-being, many apartment kings and house queens wear comfortable slippers with which they glide gently over any floor covering. We also looked at domestic shoes in 2019/2020 and compiled our experiences in this article.

1. What do you need slippers for??

Of course, the question may arise, why you actually need specially designed shoes for closed rooms that can be kept free of wind and weather. After all, you could also walk barefoot or with socks comfortably through your own four walls. In the end, everyone decides for himself what he is allowed to do with this little luxury item. We have summarized some decisive advantages and disadvantages for you:

Protection from cold floors
non-slip on smooth floors (e.g. parquet)
additional heat source in winter
orthopedic insoles possible
quick walk to the mailbox or to the basement

depending on the material, very stiff
usually only lasting 1-2 years

2. What types of slippers are there??

The generic term slippers can be further differentiated into different categories of shoe types. Slipper tests have shown that the individual types can often be narrowed down according to the material used. The table below presents the four main types and material preferences.

Type	description	material
Mules	They look like sandals and can be worn indoors or outdoors. Since they are open both at the front of the toes and at the back of the heel, mules are suitable as slippers for spring or summer. Then you can easily switch back and forth between the living room and the garden terrace with your mules.
Ballerina Slippers	As with the mules, the shape of the shoe is based on a street walker model. Ballerinas for the home, however, are surrounded by a soft textile and in some cases lined. They lie directly on the foot and allow a high degree of freedom of movement.
Felt boots	The hut shoe goes just above the ankle and thus provides a lot of warmth. He is supported by warming materials such as felt or wool. Due to the high flexibility of both materials, it is light, if somewhat shaky, comfort. Often a sole is missing and one slides on slippery floors with slippers.
slippers	Closed at the front and open at the heel, slippers are probably the best known slippers. They can be made of many different materials and usually have a stable, non-slip sole. So you can run to the mailbox in front of the door. Slippers are primarily suitable for colder days.

3. Purchase criteria for slippers

Going to buy slippers is certainly easier than getting a new fridge; the list of purchase criteria is much shorter. In order to optimize the search for the best slipper and ultimately find your personal slipper comparison winner, we have put together some information on the shape and material of slippers, mules and Co. in a buying guide.

3.1. shape

The specifications for the shape of a slipper result from three factors: type, target group and size.

Type:

Tip: Similar to running shoes, slippers are 1-2 sizes smaller by default and should therefore be bought a little larger.

3.2. material

synthetic

Slippers are also increasingly being made from synthetic materials. Artificial leather or synthetic felt as well as polyester are easy to care for and usually cheaper. Funny slippers with animal motifs in particular are cheaply made of polyester. However, they are only slightly breathable and make your feet sweat.

As our slippers comparison has already shown, the shape of the shoe and the material are mutually dependent. No matter which brand you prefer, a mule will not be made of wool and a slipper will never be made of leather. So if you are looking for a warm slipper, you should stick to felt and wool. However, these slippers can felt or lose wool threads over time. Lambskin slippers are still particularly popular. Slippers off lambskin are usually offered as moccasins, keep you particularly warm and are also breathable. If you are particularly prone to sweaty feet or prefer a more chic slipper, we recommend a leather shoe.

4. Brands and manufacturers

5. Questions and answers about slippers

5.1. The Stiftung Warentest did a slippers test?

Le >9/2015. With the impregnation spray comparative winners from Deichmann and Imfälnol, your leather mules survive the occasional detour into the garden.

5.2. You can crochet slippers?

Unless you attach particular importance to slippers with a heel or sole, you can cobble the shoes together yourself. This do-it-yourself method is particularly popular for baby slippers, which are chosen as a soft addition to the stable baby walker. So you will not be able to produce a leather slipper yourself, but models made of wool are quick to crochet with a little patience and practice. You can find the evidence in this video:

Tip: If you prefer to use felt instead of wool, you will find a small guide on this page on how to knit felt slippers or felt slippers in different colors.

5.3. How to clean slippers?

Even in a clean apartment, slippers can get dirty or develop an unpleasant smell over time. In this case, simple synthetic slippers can be easily washed at low temperatures. Some lambskin slippers and felt models, for example from Giesswein, can withstand washing temperatures of up to 30 ° C, but should not be put in the dryer afterwards, but air-dried, otherwise the felt will warp. Wet rubber soles, on the other hand, react poorly to sunlight or too much heat, which is why it is best to plan several days for drying in a light-protected place. You should not put cork soles like those from Birkenstock in the washing machine or dryer. Manual cleaning with water and soap is recommended here.

Note: Don’t hold on to your favorite pair of shoes for too long. Slippers are not designed to serve a lifetime; the material loosens and deforms over time and impairs an orthopedically perfect gait.

5.4. There are orthopedic slippers?

Yes, there are also suitable health shoes for at home for chronically painful or unusually shaped feet, for example Haflinger slippers, which should make walking easier. They are characterized by a thick, flexible sole and a comfortable footbed and often also serve as slippers for insoles. A slipper with a closure is recommended so that the fit can be adjusted every day.
