The best vegan slippers for women will keep you cozy and warm all winter – and beyond!
By Roberta Fabbrocino
Nice loungewear can make us feel right at home. Comfy. Relaxed. I’m talking second-skin pyjamas, and of course, the best vegan slippers.
I mean, slippers are absolutely essential in the colder weather. Cold, damp feet make your whole body feel nasty. On the other hand, a pair of plush, cozy slippers are as comforting as a hot bath.
Slippers are also ideal for keeping your house cleaner. Treading on your floors in street shoes drags in all kinds of unmentionables, from dog doo and chewing gum remnants to pollution and pesticides. Yuk! Best to kick off your kicks and slip into some slippers instead.
What to look for in vegan slippers
There are certain caveats we need to watch out for when choosing a good pair of sustainable slippers. For example, while we give the thumbs up to recycled materials, footwear made of new polyester or nylon just isn’t OK. And of course, if you care about animals (and the planet), it’s essential to avoid two of the most typical materials used for slippers: wool, fur and leather (usually suede).
The good news is, you can get all the coziness and softness of animal-based materials with synthetic ones that don’t actually harm the planet! Yep, there are some seriously sustainable vegan fabrics out there today.
Hard to believe? Keep reading to see some of the best vegan slippers for women, perfect for winter – or any season!
