Changing into a cozy pair of slippers signals to my body that it's time to relax. Yet the best slippers for women aren't just for lounging — we're on our feet a lot at home, too, so they still need proper support. Our guide features slippers that cater to a host of needs, from functional orthotics to cushiony slides. Our favorite style for staying warm and insulated this fall is the classic UGG Tasman Slipper.

We spoke to podiatrist Dr. Jacqueline Sutera for tips on what to look for when seeking the most comfortable house shoes. She provided us with key insight on how slippers can be a place of "active recovery"— a buzzy new term in the sports medicine world — for those with common afflictions like sore arches or plantar fasciitis.

With a plush interior and a lightweight outsole, the Tasman Slippers are a comfy choice you'll get years of use from. We love their durability both in and outdoors, as well as how easily they slip on and off.

Rothy's clogs might be one of our executive editor's most-worn pairs of shoes. She swears by these for errands, lounging around the house, coffee runs, and more.

These affordable, waterproof slides went viral on TikTok and have soothing footbeds to ease plantar fasciitis. Their squishy soles are super thick and flexible.

UGG's reputation for cozy footwear precedes itself. You may associate the Australian brand with its ubiquitous shearling boots, but we ought to give its slippers the proper attention, too. The Tasman Slipper comes in whole sizes 4-12 and is priced at $110 even. According to the nearly seven thousand reviewers that rated the shoe 4.8 out of 5 stars, it's safe to say the price tag reflects the product's quality.

The slipper is constructed from the same soft suede as the brand's signature boot. It's also lined with the brand's signature plush sheepskin, plus upcycled wool to elevate its cozy factor. Its outsole is either SugarSole™, the brand's patented sugarcane foam material, or its proprietary compound, Treadlite by UGG™. The pair can be worn interchangeably indoors and outdoors, with pajamas or jeans, and will look stylish either way.

The only major caveat with the Tasman Slipper is it's so popular, it's often sold out in certain sizes. We've also tested UGG's Coquette slipper and liked them just as much.

Anyone who experiences regular heel pain will appreciate the extra cushioning the viral "pillow slides" have to offer. This pair was all over TikTok, for their ultra-plush molded footbed that cradles your foot atop a 1.77-inch platform. Executive editor Sally Kaplan says these feel like "walking on squishy clouds," and that the foam is even thicker and softer than what you'd find on the popular Birkenstock EVA sandals.

They're made from a waterproof foam material, and feature a grippy bottom with slip-resistant traction. Priced at about $24, it's an affordable, quality slip-on that provides shock absorption for aching heels.

The Relax II is Vionic's latest iteration of their original podiatrist-designed slipper. It cradles your soles in an orthotic footbed that props up your arches and has shock-absorbing cushioning."I tend to drag my feet when wearing slides, but the Relax II slippers correct that habit with deep heel cups and rigid support under the arches. It took some getting used to, but the steep contour eventually feels more natural than slippers with a flat footbed. The outsoles are stabilizing and sturdy but still allow for some flexibility. I do wish the lining was softer. However they still do an excellent job of supporting high arches." — Gabrielle Chase, associate style editor

The L.L. Bean Wicked Good Moccasins are aptly named. This pair is among the most versatile of all the best slippers for women. Their thermoplastic rubber outsoles lends traction to the shoes, making them durable for outdoor as well as indoor wear. Their premium shearling lining is sourced from genuine lamb fur for optimal warmth and laid over an EVA memory foam insole that contours to your feet over time. The pair are said to run true to size but is only available in whole sizes. Half sizes are advised to size up.

These women's slippers have also garnered over 3 thousand written reviews on the brand's website alone and currently average a 4.6 out of a potential 5-star rating from over 11 thousand satisfied customers. Commenters rave the shoes are soft and warm, but beyond the house shoe's comfortability, their durability is what is arguably most impressive, with some claiming to have worn the same pair for years.Read more in our full L.L. Bean Wicked Good Slippers review.

FitFlop offers some of the best clogs for standing all day, and its slipper collection uses the same "Microwobbleboard" technology in its footbeds. The contoured interior naturally corrects overpronation, so instead of dragging your feet, the FitFlop Shuv Slides can help straighten out your instep and promote fuller strides. The shock absorption feature takes the pressure off your joints, so your feet feel more rested at the end of the day.

Depending on where you purchase your pair from, Jessica Simpson's Comfy Faux Fur House Slipper can cost under $20, but don't confuse that low integer for cheap quality. The pop singer turned designer's clothing corporation is worth 1 billion dollars for a reason.

Beyond its affordability, this pair of slippers for women offers the wearer subtle luxury. Features worth highlighting include memory foam cushioning for comfort and support, a moccasin design, and an anti-slip, textured sole that grips the ground as you walk. The pair comes fully lined with fuzzy faux fur, and are available in a range of colors, like Ivory, Pink, Lilac, and Navy. Per the product's description, the slippers run small, so sizing up is suggested.

These slip-on scuffs from Dearfoams are nearly identical to the famous UGG Classic Slipper ($120). Both are lined with shearling, have a suede upper, and feature the signature sheepskin collar. But this pair from Dearfoams is less than half of that price. Plus, the Dearfoams pair goes above and beyond with a memory foam sole, something that the UGG pair doesn't have. I have both and can confirm that the Dearfoam's pair is slightly more cushioned.

The sturdy outsole is also durable enough for occasional outdoor use, so you don't have to swap out your footwear if you're stepping into the backyard to take out the trash or let your dog out. But it's also made with an unfussy slip-on silhouette so you can kick them right off before you jump into bed.

While memory foam can take some time to break in, it's well worth the wait. Memory foam slippers are similar to memory foam pillows, in that they take the shape of your unique body part (in this case, your feet) and keep that shape for maximum comfort and support.

With over 66,000 reviewers on Amazon alone, and an average 4.6-star rating, reviewers rave that this pair from ULTRAIDEAS is among the best slippers for women. It's made with high-density memory foam for your soles and lined with fleece to warm and soothe your feet. Its solid rubber sole makes it suitable for indoor and outdoor wear, and considering the slippers are available in over 10 colors, there's bound to be a shade that matches the majority of your wardrobe.

You may not imagine recycled plastic water bottles as the place to start for a pair of comfortable slippers for women, and neither did the Business Insider team — until we tried what we now consider some of the best flats. The eco-conscious, super flexible knit is Rothy's signature across their entire collection of shoes and totes, and requires no break-in time. "The insole has excellent arch support so they're especially good for times when you're on your feet a lot at home, like cooking dinner or doing chores," says Sally Kaplan, executive editor of Insider Reviews.

The Casual Clog's upper was made with a blend of five recycled water bottles and Responsible Wool Standard certified Merino wool. Another version is made with hemp for a more breathable feel. Both have cushioned footbeds and a wide toe box, which is perfect for those who like to wear thick socks with slippers. Read more in our full Rothy's flats review.

If you're ready to make an investment in the best slippers for women, these plush hand tufted slip-ons from the Philadelphia-based pajama brand Printfresh are a worthy contender.

Printfresh is one of our favorite places for inclusively-sized pajamas for women, and if you're as big a fan of animal prints as we are, you'll be pleased with the wide range of fauna that make an appearance in their festive patterns. Priced at $158, this pair has a non-slip sole and are lined with soft vegan suede. They come in whole sizes from 6 to 11, and more of their tufted slippers feature zebra stripes, colorful dragons, and prowling leopards.

Feet play a significant role in regulating a person's body temperature, and the best slippers for women help maintain a comfortable climate. Throughout the colder months of the year, or in chillier living spaces, you can wear the L.L. Bean Wicked Good Slippers to help your whole body stay warm. The combination of genuine Australian lambswool lining and sheepskin suede construction offers exceptional warmth to the wearer of these women's slippers. They boast a leather sole and are marketed as an indoor shoe, though the slipper would likely make for a fine shoe to run errands in dry conditions. And while the pair is on the pricier side (just shy of $100), a pair is sold every 7 seconds in December, so L.L. Bean customers think it's worth the splurge.

Bombas are all over social media, but this pair of house slippers isn't just another influencer gimmick. The Gripper Slipper has over 14,900 reviews calling this slipper sock hybrid one of the best slippers for women. Its outer construction is made up of a combination of acrylic, nylon, and wool, the lining a mixture of rayon, polyester, and spandex, and its bottom grippers are comprised of silicone. They fit snugly like a sock, but have the traction of a shoe; they're also machine washable and travel-friendly, as each purchase includes a little travel bag for easy transport. So while $48 sounds steep for a slipper sock, trust us when we say, this one is worth cashing in on. The newest version has double the cushioning and more patterns to choose from.

If you're looking for the kind of best slippers for women to roll out of bed and slide into before starting your day, the Faux Fur Slippers from Parlovable are the ideal pair. Retailing for under $20 a pair, these open-toe sandals boast a ton of features worth highlighting, like their high-density memory foam cushioning for optimal comfort and support, anti-skid bottom to prevent slip-ups, and fuzzy faux bunny fur to keep your feet nice and warm. The slippers also come in five color options — Beige, Black, Cream, Cream, Grey, and Pink. Pick your favorite for now, but we guarantee you'll want to collect them all later.

Venturing outside the homestead, but don't want to abandon your house slipper for "real" shoes? Enter the UGG Ansley Water Resistant Slipper. This moccasin style pair is considered one of the best slippers for women due to its water-resistant suede (meaning even a damp forecast can't damage your favorite pair) and lined with UGGpure™, the brand's patented plush wool textile that feels eerily similar to shearling. The women's slipper also features an EVA sole for arch support and maximum durability and comes in whole sizes 5 through 12.

Cashmere is a luxury in its own right, and Cashmere Boutique specializes in using the material to craft what are some of the best slippers for women. Reasonably priced at $79, the Pure Cashmere Closed Slippers are constructed from 100% pure cashmere wool sourced from the undercoat of cashmere goats. Reviewers rave the pair is super soft and compact enough for traveling, but note the shoe is not meant to be worn outdoors. It's also worth noting that cashmere can get pretty toasty, so they'll be great in colder seasons, but not as ideal in warmer climates.

It can be tough to find any shoe that properly fit wide feet, let alone a specific category of shoe, but the Acorn Spa Wrap Slipper was designed to fit all feet. Judging from the reviews, it does.

The fuzzy spa-like house shoe is made from a washable terry material (as spa lounge accessories usually are) and features an adjustable wrap strap, ensuring the slipper fits a wide array of feet shapes and sizes. It also features the brand's patented multilayer Cloud Contour™ footbed, which offers the wearer optimal comfort and support. Acorn's size inclusivity earns them their spot among the best slippers for women, offering their Spa Wraps in small to extra large, including wide-specific sizes.

It can be just as challenging to find women's slippers for narrow feet as wide feet, but luckily this pair from Birkenstock offers a solution. The true-to-size slip is constructed from Zermatt wool felt and its anatomically contoured cork-latex footbed is removable. Shearling lining makes the women's slipper extra cozy, and a grippy outsole prevents wearers from slipping or tripping. While the pair is on the pricier side (currently retailing for $99.95), with Birkenstock you can rest assured you're getting what you pay for.

According to nationally-renowned podiatrist, Dr. Jackie Sutera, wearing slippers is a kind of "active recovery" for your feet, so the pair you wear the most must be both comfortable and supportive.

"Walking and standing barefoot for long periods can cause pain over time for most people, especially on hard floors," Sutera tells Business Insider. "Slippers also can be shock absorbing. They can come in many styles like those with a thong, open, closed, moccasin, slip-ons."

When shopping for your perfect fit, Sutera recommends starting by researching brands whose slippers feature design details like a contoured footbed, support, and cushion. Function should come first, then you can worry about your style preferences.

Before you add anything flimsy and flashy to your cart, take note that Sutera advises against thin and flat styles that offer little to no support. "These types are not foot-friendly and can cause foot pain with prolonged use."

Buying a new pair of slippers is an investment in your feet, so there were certain criteria we looked for when scouring for the best of the best. First, was notoriety: Does the brand have a stellar reputation for its quality? Do their products garner hundreds, if not thousands of rave reviews? Do they have a loyal following?

Once we knew that a brand was tried and true, we dug into its best-sellers. Sometimes what's "new" isn't necessarily what's best. We read hundreds of comments and even searched around social media to find the most popular, praised-about pairs.

Lastly, we paid close attention to each slipper's design and special features. What about a particular shoe sets it apart from the rest? What details would benefit a specific foot ailment or personal preference? What kinds of materials is the slipper made from, and are the fabrics sustainable?
