The Best House Shoes to Shop in 2021 According to Editors

18 House Shoes Our Editors Swear By For Comfort, Style, and Ease

It's 2021, and the house shoe is very much a style staple. If we're not getting dressed up to go outside, we are getting dressed up to walk out of the bedroom, at the very least, and slides or slippers that are also functional or sturdy enough to support us as we work from home are essential. It's funny to think that in 2019, I wasn't even concerned about owning a pair of slippers. I was usually at work anyway, or maybe visiting friends on the weekend. And when I was at home, that was the best time to slip and slide around the apartment in my cosy, fluffy socks!

But having a house shoe to rely on almost every day has become a source of comfort during the pandemic. When I'm wearing my go-to house shoes, I am both making a style statement and facing the reality of my situation: my daily routine just doesn't call for a strappy stiletto right now, nor a heeled leather boot. I happen to be in the same boat as many of my fellow POPSUGAR editors, all of whom were happy to weigh in on what they consider to be the most successful house shoe in 2021. Scroll down to learn the highlights of all our top contenders.

Le Clare Nuvola Bico Wool Slipper

The Shoe: Le Clare Nuvola Bico Wool Slipper ($95)
Why it's great: "Aside from the fact that the charcoal shade goes with every pair of sweats and leggings I own, the interior is warm and feels like walking on a cloud, and the sole is surprisingly thick and sturdy, so if I have to run downstairs to grab the mail, I feel pretty good about it." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion

The Shoe: Overland Sophia Australian Merino Sheepskin Soft-Sole Slippers ($95)
Why it's great: "I don't know what compelled me to add these merino sheepskin slippers to my Christmas list last year, but little did I know I would be living in them 24-seven just three months later. I love that they're soft soled, so they really act like a thicker, more comfy sock. Plus, the lanolin in sheepskin is antibacterial so even though I've worn these every day for a year with and without socks, they have no stink!" — Amanda Elser Murray, Director, Branded Content

And now that we're all at home more, to say I live in my slippers is an understatement. These UGGs are as good as they get. With a durable make and ultra-soft lining, I won't be taking these off anytime soon." — Lauren Harano, Editorial Assistant, Growth and Strategic Features

I have been living in them while working from home!" — Christina Stiehl, senior editor, Fitness

Plus they have a sole that's good for the occasional walk outside. The slippers' wool style is super simple, which I like because they match basically anything. If you can't tell, I'm obsessed with these slippers (and yes, I'm wearing them as I write this)." — Haley Lyndes, editorial assistant, Growth and Strategic Features

Kirkland Women's Sheepskin Shearling Slippers

The Shoe: KS Kirkland Women's Sheepskin Shearling Slippers ($29-$92)
Why it's great: "My mom recently passed her love of Costco's Kirkland Signature Shearling Slippers onto me and my sisters when she gifted us all our own pairs for Christmas. Their soft and fuzzy interior paired with the hard soles and slip-on feature makes them the perfect shoe, whether I'm walking around the apartment or taking my dog out. I'm wearing them constantly — to the point where they've broken the 'house' barrier and now come with me on trips to the grocery store or gas station. If you don't happen to have a Costco membership (or still try to mooch off your parents's like me) it looks like Amazon is selling the same pair online!" — Karenna Meredith, associate editor, Trending and Viral Features
