Is it a Slipper or a Shoe?

Many brands have begun to sell trendy slippers that are so stylish and presentable, that some people wear them outside to different places, whether it be classes, stores, or restaurants. And brands have also created shoes that are so comfortable and soft that many are wearing them at home as a slipper. With colder weather on the horizon, a shoe or a slipper that maximizes comfort and warmth is key. Here is some popular footwear that could be worn as either a slipper or a shoe this winter.


UGG Fluff Yeah Slide


The UGG Fluff Yeah Slide has become increasingly popular in the past year. These slippers are very unconventional slippers, as they include certain design elements that are associated with shoes, such as almost having a platform and include an elastic strap behind the heel. These design elements are key when converting a slipper to a shoe because often when slippers are worn out of the house, many find them falling off their feet or their feet sliding forward. Also, because these slippers are fluffy, having them elevated with a platform is ideal when wearing them out to ensure nothing gets in the fluff. The Fluff Yeah Slides are available in many different colors and prints, including leopard print and even tie dye. Being such fashionable slippers and shaped in a way resembling shoes, many people wear these slippers out, and with recent colder weather, they make a cozy alternative to shoes.


Birkenstock Boston Shearling Suede Leather


Although it is technically marketed as a shoe, the Birkenstock Boston Shearling has many elements that are typical of slippers, such as its soft, fuzzy inside. This slipper/shoe has a traditional Birkenstock rubber sole and suede external layer, so it could definitely be worn comfortably outside as a shoe, but because of its soft inside, it could be a cozy slipper to wear at home too. These Birkenstocks come in three different colors with three different choices for the inside layering.


L.L. Bean Women’s Wicked Good Slippers, Squam Lake


These slippers deliver the best of both worlds, since they have a solid, firm sole but also have a fluffy inside that comes out of the shoe and around the ankle to keep feet warm. Available in six different colors, such as a pale blue and a rich plum, the L.L. Bean Women’s Wicked Slippers, Squam Lake could go great with any outfit, whether it is pajamas at home or sweats at the grocery store.


UGG Classic Ultra Mini


Recently, UGGs have gained extreme popularity and ankle-cut UGG boots have become super trendy. The UGG Classic Ultra Mini is very low-cut and marketed as a boot, but because of their comfort these boots can also be worn around the home as a slipper. Some celebrities have posted photos of themselves wearing these boots at home and many celebrities have also been photographed by paparazzi wearing these low-cut UGGS in situations like leaving a coffee shop or picking something up from a grocery store. The UGG Classic Ultra Mini has lots of versatility, as it keeps feet warm outside, but also is comfy enough to wear inside a home.


Why limit footwear to just one setting? With these fashionable slippers and cozy shoes, you don’t have to choose.
