Where Can I Buy Sorel Slippers

Supportive: We wanted to find slippers that would provide good arch support, just as a comfortable shoe would. We also looked for slippers that came with the option of a rubber or cork outsole. This allows for outdoor use and can help slippers feel sturdier and more supportive.
We brought the top four wool-slipper finalists to the Fashion Institute of Technology to further assess durability in the textile-testing lab. At FIT we separated the tops of the slippers from their soles and tested the tensile strength of the fabric. We recorded how many pounds of force was required to break the fabric (more force meant stronger fabric). We also took equal-size samples of each fabric and measured their weights to determine whether denser fabrics were more durable. It turned out that all the fabric samples had similar weights. The tensile strength and how the slippers were actually sewn, glued, or felted together told us more about long-term durability.
The thick, waterproof rubber outsole technically makes these slippers indoor-outdoor shoes. If you need to run out to the mailbox or around the block, your feet will stay dry. We found that the rubber soles can be noisy on hardwood floors, but this was a common refrain for most rubber-soled shoes we tested. If you want a quieter pair, the Glerups slippers, our upgrade pick, have a soft suede or rubber outsole that might create less noise on hard floors (though they may be somewhat less rugged).
The felted Birkenstock Zermatt slippers use the same cork and latex footbed as their sandals. The footbeds conform comfortably to your feet, but the wool upper of the shoe was stiff and itchy. They were also quite expensive, and the white shearling footbeds got dirty easily.
Mahabis slippers are another felted option, featuring clean lines and rubber soles. Overall, these shoes felt synthetic and had some critical design flaws. They have a wool/poly blended outer, a merino lining, and a neoprene insole. The heel flap, although excellent for securing our feet in place, was uncomfortable when we wore it in the smushed-down slip-on position.
We came to love the overall design of the Sorel Falcon Ridge II. Its best attribute is also the best example of a compromised solution working as intended. When a compromise is as good or better than either extreme, a product has succeeded. The heel height on the Sorel is almost exactly halfway between the low and \"normal\" options out there. With this mid-height heel cup, you get slip-on convenience and walking security. Why aren't all slippers like this Beyond that, the Sorel fits as advertised, comes in whole number shoe sizes, and has a sticky, rubber outsole.
The primary drawback of the Falcon Ridge II is the price. They're expensive, and at their price point, you can find slippers with real sheepskin lining, which is more comfortable than the faux fur lining of the Falcon Ridge. For extended, against-the-skin wear, real sheepskin is way better at managing perspiration and temperature compared to synthetic fibers. We don't expect budget products to have sheepskin, but others are delivering real sheepskin for a similar price.
Choose your size carefully. We found our test pair to be a bit small, but that might differ with the natural variances in the depth of nap in the sheepskin lining. These are also very expensive slippers. Finally, unless you size them way up (somewhat negating many of the benefits), you will have to use a hand or two to get them on. For many, this is a dealbreaker for a slipper, especially when there are competitive alternatives that don't require bending down. With the trickier on and off, these are best for those that will only use them occasionally or wear them for extended periods of time.
The RockDove Birdseye Knit Two-Tone slippers are truly slip-on and offered at a very affordable price. If you just need slippers for short shuffles through the house, these will do the job. The lining is smooth for even easy on and off. The insole, when new, offers nearly the most squishy cushioning in the entire review. Only one other pair had a softer initial feel.
Extended use of squishy sole slippers will break them down. That soft initial padding will pack down with time and \"mileage\". Further, the outsole of the RockDove is the least grippy of any in our test. In side-by-side testing (literally, different models on different feet), these had the poorest traction on carpet, linoleum, and wet boards on our outdoor deck. We recommend taking care when walking on these surfaces.
These slippers are low on insulation, not machine washable, and require a hand for most people to get them on. None of these should be \"dealbreakers\" if you want budget slippers for extended wear around the house. Still, if you're hoping for a pair you can quickly slip on and off, look to a different option.
If you spend a lot of time walking around in your house slippers, we recommend the Isotoner Whipstitch Gel Infused Moccasins. These offer more cushion and support underfoot than any other model in our review. They're nearly as supportive as basic street shoes. The insole is contoured with rudimentary arch support and a ridge \"toe rest\". Both of these attributes are unlike any other in our test. Sized properly, you should be able to slip them on without a hand, but they're not as easy to get on and off as kick-style slippers.
The Isotoners are expensive, and after walking around the neighborhood, we noticed the beginning of a failure on a significant seam. No other pair in our fleet experienced such a dramatic failure. This particular failure is small, but it shouldn't show up so early in use. If you need the foot support, you'll likely overlook such construction deficiencies. If you need long-lasting ease of use, look elsewhere.
The Homeldeas Woolen Anti-Slip House Slippers are simple, slip-on house footwear, but we found the model name curious because there is nothing woolen about them. Aside from the rubber sole and some sort of foam hidden within, they are made entirely of synthetic fleece. The fleece is smooth and kicks on and off from bare or socked feet. Instructions indicate that you can machine wash these slippers. We like that.
We researched the slipper market before settling on the products shown here, which we bought at retail cost to eliminate bias from our review. We tested in the cold and blustery spring climate of Idaho's Teton Valley. As usual, our testing was objective, repeatable, and comparative between products. We balanced \"real world\" use and testing with a formalized investigation of each pair of slippers. We also tried to test beyond typical usage to bring out the subtle differences. Notably, we walked around the neighborhood outside to investigate both durability and walking support/comfort.
We dove deep to arm you with the best information on these top contenders before your purchase. There are plenty of excellent options here for you to consider. With slippers, we tried to balance competing demands and acknowledge the importance of value. The choice is now up to you.
Note that we didn't score these products on fit, as doing so with slippers is especially challenging. When shopping for, comparing, and reviewing traditional footwear, you can usually rely on the marked size and make comparative fit generalizations. Some slippers are sized the same way as regular shoes, but some are not. About half of the slippers we tested are sold to fit a range of whole men's shoe sizes. Further, not all of them \"break\" sizes at the same point. We purchased all slippers in a size 8.5 to 9 to fit our lead tester's feet.
With the Isotoner Whipstitch, this meant buying a pair of size medium that's intended to cover a range from 8-9. On the other hand, the RockDove Two-Tone medium covers sizes 9-10. The Isotoners were a little tight, but the RockDoves were just right. Making direct comparisons of all the available size choices you have would be infinitely complicated. In short, if you have a choice, we generally recommend sizing up. Most people prefer loose slippers rather than tight ones.
Next, in terms of the ease of getting them on and off, is the slippers with more rigid heel cups. The Ugg Ascot, Isotoner Whipstitch, and Amazon Essentials slippers all, if sized appropriately, have stiffened heel cups that stand up while you shove your foot in. Depending on your socks and such, you will often have to hold the heel back with a finger to get your foot inside.
The trickiest to get on and off are the soft-backed, full-heel slippers. This describes the HomeIdeas and ZigZagger options. The good news with these is that, for very short wear, you can simply step on the heel to press it forward and largely out of the way. Your footing will be a tiny bit lumpy, but the result is slippers that mimic heel-less slip-ons.
Sedentary comfort in your slippers is a function of their insulation and materials. Most people want their slippers to provide at least a little bit of insulation. All can do that, but some do it better. The all-fleece, heel-cupped, soft construction of the Acorn Moc and Zigzagger are the warmest. Next comes the real sheepskin of the Ugg Ascot. Sorel, befitting their winter boot pedigree, makes pretty warm slippers too. The rest, with either low heels or thinner materials, do not insulate as well as these.
You shouldn't choose slippers for extended walking applications. That being said, any piece of footwear should offer at least some security and dexterity. You can shuffle around the house in any of these models, but there are some important differences. All three heel-less models are good for no more than short visits to the bathroom or something similar.
You will want to deodorize your slippers at some point. Those that scored highest in this category include laundering instructions from the manufacturer. The RockDove, HomeIdeas, Zigzagger, and Isotoner all come with instructions for machine washing, which we appreciate. The remaining slipper didn't include washing instructions. We'd also like to point out that Ugg's use of natural wool sheepskin will reduce foot odors compared to synthetic linings. 59ce067264
