10 best men’s slippers that are comfortable and stylish

Source: The Independent

With some fashion magazines calling this the “post-sneaker era”, other casual shoe options – slippers especially – are enjoying a renaissance. While no one is swapping their collection of Jordans for Grandpa’s slip-ons anytime soon, there’s no denying the slipper’s growing influence in fashion, adorning front covers and being worn by A-listers on their midday coffee run.

But what exactly counts as a slipper these days? Well, it depends on what you’re after. A slipper is still primarily something comfortable to slip your feet into when you get home after a busy day.

But as more of us have started working from home, the slipper is having to evolve into a hybrid shoe – something you can also walk the dog in or scramble into as you pick the kids up from school.

A slipper can have an open toe or a closed front – although, for us, open-toe slippers slip too far into slider territory and don’t bring the protection and warmth you’d want from a cosy slipper. A decent pair should come without laces (too complicated) and be, above all, the easiest and comfiest shoe in your rotation.
