Most versatile slippers: Olukai Nohea Slipper
$119.95
What makes these an ideal option? Their versatility. The nubuck upper is soft, supple, and comfortable on toes. Inside, it’s lined in shearling and has a convenient, removable footbed. And you can go from relaxing at home in the morning right to a yoga class or brunch with friends since they have a durable, rubber sole. The slim silhouette looks and feels less cumbersome than other furry options, so they won’t stick out in the real world (i.e., no one will know you’re wearing slippers).
