Orleans Shoe Co. — For the Hours at Home
Slippers for Men & Women
Shearling, wool felt, sheepskin and suede, for men and women. Some are just cozy. Some have real arch support built in, which matters more than most people think.
The thing everybody gets wrong
A Slipper Can Have an Arch
You wear a good shoe all day, then come home and walk around on tile or hardwood barefoot or in a flat slipper. That's where a lot of heel pain comes from. A slipper with a real footbed keeps you supported at home too.
With Real Support
Vionic
The Gemma II and Relax II for women and the Gustavo for men. Vionic's arch support, in a slipper. See women's Vionic.
Birkenstock
The Zermatt in wool and shearling, and the Arizona with a shearling lining, on the same cork footbed as the sandal. The Arizona goes up to size 46.
Aetrex
The Mandy and Macy for women.
Just Cozy
Sheepskin and shearling
Emu Australia's Sharky Scuff, Jolie and Mayberry, and the BLKSWN Magnolia in shearling.
Wool felt
Haflinger's boiled wool slippers, warm without getting sweaty.
Moccasins
The Minnetonka Loafer Moc, for men and women.
How a Slipper Should Fit
- Shearling and sheepskin pack down with wear. Snug at first is right
- Your heel shouldn't slide out of a closed-back slipper when you walk
- If you have heel pain, pick one with a footbed, not a flat one
