Sizes: 6 to 12 | Materials: Mesh or fleece upper, rubber outsole, polyurethane insole | Heel drop: 10 mm | Width: Medium

While the Kuru Draft might be a bit of an investment for a pair of slippers, its pain-relieving and supportive technology makes it unlike any other slipper I’ve seen. The heel-hugging design protects the foot’s delicate heel pad, while the built-in dual-density foam insole offers arch support and and shock absorption. The slip-on style is convenient for everyday wear and it’s available in two different uppers—mesh or fleece—for comfort, no matter the season. Multiple reviewers said these fit a little snug, so consider ordering a half-size up.

What the reviews say: “Once they are broken in (took a couple of days) I am getting relief from plantar fasciitis in both feet. As a bonus, my minor knee pain has also shown some relief…I would wear them even if I didn’t have foot issues, super comfy (and cute).” —Kuru

Sizes: 6.5 to 10 | Materials: Microterry upper, EVA, memory foam, rubber outsole | Heel drop: 1 inch | Width: Medium

For a budget pick, I like Isotoner’s Terry Hoodback Slippers since they provide necessary support and cozy, all-day comfort for $25. The cushy memory foam insole absorbs heel impact while the moisture-wicking microterry liner adds softness and warmth. They’re also conveniently machine-washable, which can be helpful for refreshing the memory foam. This slipper runs small, so I recommend sizing up.

What the reviews say: “I relax as soon as my feet slip into these slippers. They are the softest, most comfy ones I have ever had.” —Amazon

Sizes: 4 to 12 | Materials: Foam footbed, synthetic liner | Heel drop: Not listed | Width: Medium

Love or hate them, Crocs’s footwear is ultra supportive and great for those with plantar fasciitis, as I discovered. The Classic Cozzzy Sandal combines the comfort of a fuzzy slipper with the breathability of a sandal. Thanks to their trademark footbeds, these have the same lightweight flexibility of other Crocs styles. The elevated outsole adds a touch of style. These run large so you might want to consider sizing down.

What the reviews say: “Super comfy, warm cozy, cushy love them. I wear them as slippers in the house. Great support for your feet on hardwood floors.” —Crocs

Sizes: 5 to 12 | Materials: Suede, faux fur | Heel drop: Not listed | Widths: Standard (B), Wide (D), Extra Wide (2E)

Orthofeet specializes in supportive footwear and the Charlotte Slippers come with orthotic insoles that help realign the foot and provide arch support. They also have a wide toe box for a little more breathing room and an adjustable strap that tightens across the foot for a customized fit. A faux fur lining takes the cozy level up a notch. Also great: Orthofeet offers a 60-day wear test period, after which you can return the slippers if you’re not satisfied. For a tighter fit, consider ordering a half-size down.

What the reviews say: “Very comfortable shoes—it didn’t take any time at all to adjust. My heel pain has diminished almost 100%. After another week, I think all of the pain will be gone.” —Orthofeet

Sizes: 5 to 12 | Materials: Polyester terrycloth, TPR outsole, rubber sole | Heel drop: Not listed | Width: Medium-Wide

Orthotic inserts are a proven plantar fasciitis treatment due to their foot-realigning and supportive properties, and Vionic’s Gemma slippers come with a built-in orthotic sole along with podiatrist-designed contoured arch support. A deep heel cup further cushions the heel area, which can take a beating after being on your feet all day. These slippers carry the seal of the American Podiatric Medical Association for promoting foot health.

What the reviews say: “Bought this slipper since I needed additional arch support after getting plantar fasciitis. Wonderfully soft and love that the top strap allows me to adjust the width of the slipper for a more comfortable fit.” —Amazon

Ergofoot’s Orthotic slippers aim to counteract plantar fasciitis heel pain. Orthotic details like an ergonomic footbed provides arch support, a deep heel cup protects and cushions the heel, and a flexible EVA midsole absorbs shock while reducing stress on the feet, ankles and knees when you walk. Note: the brand recommends wearing these for a few hours at first, and then gradually increasing the amount, to give your feet time to adjust to the therapeutic arch-stretching effect.

What the reviews say: “I highly recommend if you’ve been having any problems such as flat feet, plantar fasciitis, or just prefer shoes around the house. This is the first morning in I don’t know how long that I wasn’t limping around during my morning routine because of pain in my feet.” —Amazon

Sizes: 5 to 16 | Materials: Foam | Heel drop: Not listed | Width: Medium

If you’re a fan of slides, Archies improves on the design so they’re not so flat and potentially uncomfortable: The comfortable foam sandals have a built-in 2.2 centimeter arch support, and they’re made from durable closed-cell foam, eliminating the risk of cracking while molding to your foot with wear. The arch support, plus an elevated heel, reduces pressure on the foot, ensuring all-day comfort.

What the reviews say: “I cannot tell you how much I love these shoes. I have no arch, and have bone spurs and achy old feet! I wear these shoes, morning, noon, and night. I am dreading winter when I have to put them away for the season. They are very supportive, and extremely comfortable.” —Archies

Sizes: 4 to 12 | Materials: EVA | Heel drop: 15-degree angle, toe-to-heel | Width: Medium

Cloudies provide extra cushioning on your soles with a puffy, 100% EVA design that surrounds the foot in ergonomic softness. The versatile style—which comes in nine color options—slips on and can be worn with anything, anywhere. They’re waterproof with an anti-skid sole and the midsole has some slight give that reduces fatigue on your feet, ankles and knees. To maximize the pillow-like comfort, the brand recommends soaking them in water for 30 minutes to soften them up before your first wear.

What the reviews say: “The thick sole really makes you feel like you’re walking on clouds and is so supportive (I have bad arches so that’s important to me), while the strap on top is thick enough to hold your foot in while not making your foot sweat too much.” —Amazon

Sizes: 5 to 12 | Materials: Textile upper and lining, foam midsole | Heel drop: 1.25 inches | Widths: Medium

Not only does this indoor-outdoor pair of Oofos shoes tout patented closed-cell foam technology that absorbs 37% more impact than traditional foam, it’s also supremely comfortable with an easy slip-on stretchy upper and a cozy faux shearling lining. The footbed design provides necessary cushioning to relieve foot, ankle and back stress, plus the shoe is machine washable, which helps them stay fresh longer.

What the reviews say: “Some of the best shoes I’ve ever had. The fabric is super soft. The shoes are easy to get on and off, but the fabric does not stretch out because you’re slipping them off and on. They literally feel like you’re walking on a cloud.” —Zappos

Sizes: 5 to 10.5 | Materials: Cork-latex footbed, latex sole, shearling lining, wool felt upper | Heel drop: Not listed | Widths: Narrow to Medium (A/B)

Birkenstock bring years of supportive footwear experience to the slipper space with their cork-soled, shearling-lined Zermatt. It’s lightweight with some flexibility and the anatomically-shaped footbed cradles your arch and heel. Sustainability bonus: Birkenstock sells a variety of insoles separately, so you can easily replace the cork footbed when it wears out. Multiple reviewers commented on the narrow width, so size up accordingly.

What the reviews say: “Best shoes-slippers. I’ve worn them daily since getting them. Super comfortable, even with my plantar fasciitis.” —Dick’s Sporting Goods

Plus, these slippers are ultra-lightweight and flexible, perfect for packing into a suitcase or overnight bag.
