The past few years have brought new appreciation for clothing that’s as comfortable as sweatpants, but still chic enough to wear out of the house. And perhaps our favorite new must-have is a pair of indoor-outdoor slippers, aka cozy slippers that have an actual sole (not just padded leather) so we can wear them both around the house and out to run errands without looking like we forgot to take off our PJs. To be honest, it’s a pretty tall order to fill, but we’ve found 15 of the absolute best women’s indoor-outdoor slippers. Now the only difficult part will be deciding which one to add to cart.

1. teva Reember Slippers
These sleeping bag slippers were designed to be carried along in your backpack and worn around your campsite, so of course they’re made with a durable rubber sole and panel at the toe to prevent rips or injuries from stray rocks. And, yes, the back can fold down for an easy slip-on fit too.
2. ugg Cozette Slippers
A PureWow reader favorite, these comfy slip-ons definitely look more like slippers than shoes, but they do have a sturdy outsole that allows you to wear them out and about if you so choose. We suggest wearing them with classic staples like straight-leg jeans and a white button-up to balance out the PJ factor.
3. free People Damon Cozy Mule Slippers
With a supportive footbed and durable faux suede upper, these will give your feet plenty of support. But we also love the somewhat unexpected fuzzy wool lining, which is incredibly soft and warm and a nice departure from the usual faux-fur or shearling.
7. asportuguesas By Fly London Come Sneaker Mules
The brand describes these as a “sneaker mule,” mostly because of the super-supportive, shock-absorbing cork sole. (Although we don’t actually suggest swapping out your go-to sneaks for these slippers.) The wool upper is also odor-resistant and will continue to keep your feet warm even if they get wet.
10. reef Beach Bum Sage Slippers
These come recommended by a particularly picky PureWow editor. “I have very specific expectations for a house shoe—they must be supportive, but also have slight bounce and supremely squishy-ness. Most house shoes are either too flat or too shoe-like for me, but these check all the boxes!” She also appreciates that back strap, which can be pushed over the top for a true slip-on silhouette or help secure your heel as you tromp around outside.
12. halluci Cross Band Plush Fleece Slippers
Another PureWow editor recommendation, this super-fluffy pair definitely looks like slippers, but don’t let that stop you from rocking them all over town. (Go on, embrace your inner maximalist.) “I’m actually on my second pair because I wore the first ones out. My only note is that the sizing is S/M/L and tends to run small, so if you’re between sizes I’d say go up one.”
