Hear that? That’s a crackling fire.
Smell that? That’s cinnamon, vanilla, and pine.
Taste that? That’s apple crumble and bourbon infused with winter spices.
See that? That’s a shitty Hallmark movie inexplicably soothing you into submission.
Feel that? No. No, you don’t. That’s because I’ve yet to introduce you to the best men’s slippers for wide feet.
What follows is a breakdown of the six most upsettingly comfortable, inappropriately soft, inexcusably breathable slippers that you could ever treat your wide feet to. Some are luxurious. Some are budget-friendly. Some have been flying under the radar for way too long now.
If you’re still reading this intro, I respect your dedication to extra-wide slippers for men. So much, in fact, that I’m going to see myself out and get to it already. For those about to leisure, I salute you.
Key Takeaways
To find the best men’s slippers for wide feet, I began by researching dozens of brands and their materials, durability, customer reviews, photos, and range of sizes. The resulting six are the best of the best based on factors that include but aren’t limited to comfort, style, price, and materials used. Edging out the competition is my top overall pick of Bombas’ Sherpa-Lined Gripper Slipper Bootie, followed by the budget-friendly, sneakily elevated LA Capsule Terry Cloth Slippers from Oliver Cabell.
Why they’re great: Whether you have Fuck-You Money or not,
How they feel: Terry cloth. They feel like terry cloth. Which means they feel like your favorite towel has been wrapped around your feet. Which means they’re really, really comfortable.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: These slippers for wide-feet men are anything but expected. Only the sartorially experienced need apply.
Sizes Available: 12 | Material: 100% Cotton | Colors Available: 1
Why they’re great: Amsterdam luxury brand Aurélien doesn’t miss, as further evidenced by its Beachside Slipper — a backless suede slipper in sizes suitable for thin feet, wide feet, and multiple sizes between. It’s a casually elevated pair that works as well on vacation as it does during summer brunch on the patio.
How they feel: The 100% calfskin uppers are as plush and cozy as it gets and will naturally conform to the unique contours of your feet over time. Further south, the jute soles are firm enough to add support and soft enough to add a little spring to your step.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: These are beauties, but they’re not as versatile as some of my other picks for the best men’s slippers for wide feet. You’ll want to keep them dry and keep them far away from any non-casual occasion.
Sizes Available: 7-12 | Material: 100% French Calfskin (Suede) | Colors Available: 3
Why they’re great: Ah yes, the ever-elusive velvet slipper. Finding the right specimen can be a slippery slope — after all, “formal” and “slippers” are two words you rarely find next to each other. But if any brand can nail it, it’s Velasca. Exhibit A: The Italian-made Piscinina. These dark green slippers are equal parts sexy, comfortable, and versatile. Dress them up for a holiday party, pop them on for a sunset cruise while on vacation, or just lounge around the house in them. The Piscinina will serve you well for any occasion.
How they feel: After a few wears, the velvet uppers will gently stretch to conform to the shape of your feet — yes, even if they’re wide.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: You’re not likely to put a lot of miles on these slippers due to their niche nature. But if you’re okay with breaking them out for random one-off occasions throughout the year and letting them otherwise ride the bench, I say go for it.
Sizes Available: 5-13 | Material: Velvet | Colors Available: 6
Why they’re great: Alright look. I know these are “slipper socks” and not technically “slipper-slippers,” but this isn’t the time to split hairs. I’ve been wearing O.G. Acorns on and off for years now, and they’ve always been consistently comfortable. Their majority-wool composition is super warm yet surprisingly breathable, and the unstructured uppers and leather soles (which are really more like pads) are great for wide feet.
How they feel: These cloudlike house slippers are the perfect accompaniment to a crackling fire, good company, and a finger of rare bourbon.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: Though Acorns’ supreme comfort far outweighs any drawback, I do find that their 85%-wool construction can get a bit itchy at times. Not enough to make me take them off, but a consideration nonetheless.
Sizes Available: XXS-3XL | Material: 85% Wool, 13% Nylon, 2% Spandex | Colors Available: 7
Why they’re great: Another longstanding tradition among leisure enthusiasts is the Minnetonka Pile Lined Hardsole Slipper. Its pillowy pile lining envelops your feet in plush warmth while the firm sole allows these slippers to pull double duty as both house slippers and casual outdoor slippers. Grabbing the mail. Walking the dog. That kind of thing.
How they feel: The combination of suede, pile lining, and firm, lightweight soles put these Minnetonka slips in a league of their own in terms of comfort.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: If you’re looking for slippers that you can stand in for long periods of time, you’ll be disappointed by Minnetonka’s lack of arch support. Also, why are you looking for those? Slippers, people. Slippers.
Sizes Available: 7-16 | Material: 100% Suede | Colors Available: 6
Why they’re great: In a stroke of leisuring genius, Bombas has taken the common house slipper and elevated it to the thing of beauty that is the sherpa-lined Gripper Slipper bootie. Said sherpa lining is about as cloud-like as you’ll find in the wide, wide world of house slippers. Meanwhile, full ankle coverage keeps things toasty, grippy soles help keep you on your feet, and cushioned footbeds provide a hint of spring as you traipse around your house like some sort of footwear god.
How they feel: I already stole most of my own thunder up there, but suffice it to say, these things were designed and produced with one thing in mind: comfort.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: Though the unstructured construction of Bombas’ Gripper Slippers is great for guys with wide feet, you’ll want to look elsewhere if you prefer more support—not to mention the presence of a sole.
Sizes Available: 7-15 | Material: 56% Cotton, 30% Acrylic, 8% Polyester, 6% Nylon | Colors Available: 2
Buying Considerations For Slippers For Wide Feet
Size
Since many styles are designed with relaxation in mind and, as such, are unstructured, slippers are a bit of an outlier in terms of wide sizes. If you can find some extra wide slippers for men (designated by a “W” after the size), then that’s the route you should go. Otherwise, you’d be wise to size up and prioritize unstructured uppers.
Materials
When it comes to the best men’s slippers for wide feet, comfort is king. Suede is a super cozy material that’ll conform to the contours of your feet with time. Wool is warm, breathable, and offers a wide range of motion. You’ll even find plush velvet slippers like the Piscinina from Velasca. Pay attention to a slipper’s materials before deciding which pair is right for you.
Occasion and Use
From house slippers and slipper socks to formal slippers and hard-sole slippers, there’s no shortage of styles available to you. With that in mind, think about where you’ll wear them and what look you’re going for (if any) before making a decision.
