![]() Grindle, who just got them to walk his dog at first, calls himself a “full-on believer.” He likes that they’re “substantial enough to run errands in and are truly like walking on clouds.” They’re former Strategist contributor Chris Black’s go-to house shoe because of the “breathable design.” The midsole “keeps the legs and feet loose and relaxed,” he notes, making them “great for post-workouts or just shuffling around the house.” Timothy Grindle, co-founder of Canoe Club, and Copper Terrones, a sales manager at Canoe Club, both told us they’re the most comfortable shoes they’ve owned, when we sought out stylish slides. I found that Hokas plus toasty socks strikes a perfect balance. Typically I wear UGGs in cold weather, but sometimes my feet can get a little too hot in them. Even in cold weather, I’ve gravitated toward them. ![]() They’re so lightweight and plush that I’ve found myself walking further on my morning strolls with my dog. The men I talked to were so convincing that I called in a pair to test myself, and I agree: They are the most comfortable pair of slippers I’ve ever owned. Hokas? As the best men’s slippers?! Hear me out: Recovery slides, while not your standard moccasins, were brought up the most when I polled stylish men about the best slippers. Sizes: 7 to 14 | Outsole: Rubber | Upper and lining: EVA | Design: Open-toe | Price: $ Turns out the men’s slipper-verse is vast and wide! The market is, of course, saturated with your classic suede-shearling numbers, but so many designers are creating actually kind of cool guy slippers too. To make this guide, I polled many a stylish man (including designers, photographers, and our own writers) and dug through our archives of slipper content (we have a lot of it) before testing some out myself. Slippers fall into the category of item that should bring a person some joy, which is why they’re such a popular gift. A tip for those who plan on gifting a man slippers: Get him a pair with a thick rubber outsole and treads so he can wear them outside. A warm slipper is wonderful a hot slipper is not, so we were looking for slippers that won’t make your toes sweat. And then, they must be handsome. We also tested the Haflinger GZ, but it felt more like an everyday clog than a slipper.So what takes a men’s slipper from just okay to excellent? Because the line between slipper and outdoor shoe has become ever blurrier, they must be comfortable enough for, say, going to grab some milk at the deli downstairs, walking the dog, and - for an emboldened few - wearing them about their day. ![]() Ultimately, we didn’t think we could continue to recommend these slippers, given the test results and the poor user reviews. After we removed the test fabric from the machine, the seam easily unraveled the rest of the way with minimal effort. FIT associate professor Sean Cormier noted during testing that “ stitching unravels with the slightest force at the junction of the seam.” It took 127 pounds of force to break the fabric, less than the material on the Acorn or our Glerups slippers pick. And as soon as we cut the top away from the sole of the shoe at FIT, the seam began unraveling before we even set it up in the tensile tester. The seam down the center of both of these slippers is a major point of weakness. But after seeing numerous comments and complaints about durability issues and learning that Wirecutter staffers had encountered similar problems, we had to rethink our recommendation. The Haflinger AS (soft sole) and Haflinger AT (hard sole) were previously picks in this guide.
