If you hate stepping on cold flooring in the wintertime, or you’re looking for that new daily driver for cold-weather errands, we may have found the perfect slide (and sale) for you. The fuzzy version of the Merrell’s Hut Moc 2 is currently 53% off in men’s and women’s sizes, and reviewers are calling it everything from their “all-time favorite slippers” to “absolutely perfect.” These fleece-lined slides are lightweight and definitely warm thanks to their sherpa upper. They’ve even gotten co-signs from several reviewers who suffer from plantar fasciitis, saying they’re supportive enough for their arches!
Fuzzy, cozy and warm, these slippers are a solid choice for a wintertime daily driver.
These vegan slides rely on recycled sherpa and fleece to give them their fuzzy texture, plus a bouncy EVA midsole helps users with a cushy step. Reviewers say they use theirs both indoors and outdoors, calling them perfect for walking dogs, quickly stepping out to check the mail and keeping those toes nice and toasty while lounging at home.
They also have plenty of grip, according to a few users. “As a senior, I am on occasion prone to falling,” says one reviewer. “These sturdy shoes with gripping soles give me confidence.”
“Been wearing daily around house about 2 weeks now,” says another reviewer, “[and] they’re great if you want cushion and some foot bed support. Give your joints a break and try them.”
Users with plantar fasciitis say they offer excellent support.
Several customers who’ve picked up the women’s version of the Hut Moc 2 slides say they’re plenty comfy for those with plantar fasciitis.
They’ve helped a reviewer named Nanagirl, for one: “I haven’t ever had a shoe like this and I actually love it! More comfortable than I thought they would be, which is always a plus! I have had issues with Plantar Fasciitis for almost 10 years and wondered if I would be able to wear them all day, and let me tell you, I can! I’m so very pleasantly surprised!”
Take note that sizing is divisive, however.
We scoped several reviewers of the men’s Hut Moc 2 slides who state they’re a perfect fit. However, the women’s version may require going a half-size up. They’re only available in whole sizes — men’s 7 to 15 and women’s 6 to 11 — so your fit may vary if you’re in between sizes. Users also say these initially fit narrow, but definitely stretch over use.

“This is my 2nd pair because I love them that much. They are easy to slip on and so warm and comfortable. They have excellent support which is something I need having plantar fasciitis. I bought my normal size last year and they were a bit short and narrow but they did stretch, I ordered a size up this time which will allow me to wear socks if I choose to. I am curious if they are washable, has anyone tried? Do yourself a favor and get these slippers!” — Stacie
“Sturdy soles for indoors and quick trips let the dogs outside. I have a wide foot, but the toe box on this slipper fits great. Comfortable and warm, especially in this unusually cold southern winter. The color is the same as depicted in the description.” — Nanap6
“Absolutely perfect. I didn’t know if I’d like the lack of a backing, but wearing them is super comfortable and I don’t even notice. Of course, it also makes them super easy to put on at any time of the day. Color is fantastic, material is great, and hard bottom is exactly what I wanted.” — Hennicken

My favorite slipper of all, the Bombas Sunday slipper
One reviewer said the Bombas Sunday slipper feels "like having clouds" on their feet, and as a recent Bombas convert myself, I'm inclined to agree. The Sunday slipper is covered in sherpa for a softness that feels as cozy as it looks. The memory foam midsole and rubber outsole provide comfortable support that you — or your recipient, if you're gifting this — can wear outside (I have run down to my building's laundry room wearing these multiple times with no issue). Best of all, Bombas' "one purchased, one donated" business model means you're helping get clothing to people who need it when you buy this gift. You can buy these in a bunch of colors, in women's sizes 5-11 or men's sizes 7-13.
Or, this nearly-identical HomeTop slipper for so much cheaper
If the Bombas Sunday slipper's price has turned you off, I understand — and you'll be pleased to know you can find a similar vibe for much cheaper in these HomeTop slippers that come in many similar colors and a few others to boot. The biggest downside is that these are only available in women's sizes (5-12). Still, they offer a similar slip-on design, curly fleece that covers the whole shoe, a memory foam footbed and a rubber outsole. These shoes are incredibly popular too, with 4.4 stars across more than 56,000 ratings on Amazon.
Promising review: "I love these slippers! The size is exactly what I needed, I bought a size 7. They’re super comfy, warm, and so soft! I like how they don’t slide up and down on my feet like “slip on” slippers do! I would buy again, and also would give as a gift! Super happy with my purchase! It’s like walking on little puffs of clouds ☁️!" — WifeNMomof1
Glerups' unisex wool shoe with a leather sole
I own a pair of these wool Glerups slippers as well and have been pleasantly surprised by them. I found the stiffer, thicker wool took a bit of getting used to in the beginning, but once they're on my feet, they fit like a glove. They also don't make my feet sweat, a sentiment echoed by BuzzFeed editorial VP Peggy Wang, who said, "They're cozy and def don't make my feet sweat. I wear them with and without socks," in a previous story.
These come in women's sizes 5-13 and men's sizes 4-17 in a bunch of colors, and you can also choose between a leather sole (for indoor use only) or a rubber sole (for indoor and outdoor use), depending on where you think your recipient will wear these.
A cozy pair of women's scuff slip-ons
I love a good pair of scuffs (aka backless slippers) — I find that in the winter, when I'm usually wearing thick socks around the house, it's easier to slide on a scuff than try to jam my foot into a clog or a shoe with more of an actual back. These EverFoams scuffs are perfect for that convenience factor while still being so, so cute: The plush, memory foam footbed is joined by a faux alpaca upper and faux shearling lining that gives the shoe a cloud-like softness. The outsole is anti-skid rubber, so your recipient can wear these outside if they have to run out for a minute, and the material is breathable to avoid sweaty feet. Get a pair in seven colors and women's sizes 5-12.
Promising review: "I love these slippers! They are so cozy and keep my feet warm. It doesn’t hurt that. They’re really soft and fuzzy. It’s like walking on a cloud. I would definitely recommend purchasing these great gift idea." — vonda obrien
Slippers that come with so many unique designs, for the artsy person
How adorable are these slippers from L. L. Bean? They come with fun designs on the top, from the forest animals pictured here to festive puppies, sweet florals, a camping scene and more. They're not just cute, either; with 4.6 stars across more than 16,000 ratings, these slippers are the real deal with a wool blend upper and slight arch contour in the footbed. Choose from 17 designs and women's sizes 6-11.
Promising review: "Best slippers & love the seasonal variations! I've been buying these for myself and as gifts every year for about 20 years now. Love them!" — Shauna
