When I leave the house, you can be sure that I’m looking my best. When I’m just lounging around the house, though, it’s a completely different story.
Most likely, I’ll be sitting around in shorts and a T-shirt, with my feet propped up in my favourite pair of slippers. Not to say that’s all they’re good for, though. From time to time, I’ll even run my errands in my slippers!
Whether you’re looking for a comfy pair of house slippers or something that can stand up to a bit more “wear-and-tear,” you’ve come to the right place. I’ve gone through my fair share of slippers, so I know a thing or two about how to find a great pair of vegan slippers.
Below, I’ll show you some of the best vegan slippers that I’ve ever owned. So, if you’re ready to take your comfort to the next level, then keep on reading…
What Are Vegan Slippers?
After going vegan, the first thing that most vegans are concerned about is getting their diet in order. Seeing as our food consumption habits are the biggest contributor to animal cruelty, this is always the best place to start.
However, once you get your diet figured out, it’s time to start looking at other aspects of your life that you can “veganize.”
As the vegan diet has become increasingly more popular, there are more companies than ever offering vegan leather belts, vegan leather boots, and a number of other cruelty-free clothes.
Vegan slippers are just regular old-fashioned slippers that aren’t made with any animals. Vegan slippers are leather-free, wool-free, and fur-free, So, you can walk around all day without the uncomfortable feeling that you’re stepping inside of what was once a living, breathing animal.
By switching our animal-derived clothing for more sustainable, vegan options, we’re all doing our part to help make the world a better place. Clearly, it’s working too.
If there wasn’t such an increased demand for cruelty-free clothing, there wouldn’t be so many designer brands launching vegan shoes and clothing lines!
Vegan Slippers vs. Non-Vegan Slippers: Key Differences
If you look at your average slipper, you’ll notice that most of them have a few key things in common:
- Fur padding
- Wool lining
- Leather outers
- Rubber soles
The problem is that none of these materials are vegan, except for the rubber soles. To show you the key differences between vegan slippers and non-vegan slippers, I created a simple visual:
| Non-Vegan Slippers Materials | Vegan Slippers Materials |
| Leather | Faux leather or textile |
| Fur padding from slaughtered animals | Faux fur made from synthetic fibres |
| Wool lining from sheep | Soft microfiber lining |
| Suede leather | Microsuede, made from faux leather and microfiber |
For the most part, vegan slippers are indistinguishable from non-vegan slippers. They’re both just as comfy and durable as the other. The only difference is that one is cruelty-free!
For more reasons why you should only wear faux fur, watch this:
Are Ugg Slippers Vegan?
Ugg is known for making some of the world’s comfiest slippers and boots. Unfortunately, most Uggs aren’t exactly vegan. They’re often made with real suede leather, wool, and sometimes even real fur.
Recently, though, Ugg began offering some vegan options. Now, you can purchase vegan Ugg slippers and even vegan Ugg boots! They’re just as comfortable and soft as the original Uggs, except they’re made with synthetic materials and cost less.
One of my favourite pairs of slippers is the vegan Uggs that I’ve reviewed below!
The 6 Best Vegan Slippers 2024: Treat Your Feet
Now for the part you’ve all been waiting on… my review of the best vegan slippers on the market. Whether you’re looking for something fancy to run your errands in or just need something cheap to slide around the house in, I’ve got plenty of options for you.
I wear a lot of slippers, so I tend to go through them pretty fast. Sometimes, my dog likes to chew them up too, so I’m constantly buying new slippers!
That being said, here are some of the best vegan slippers I’ve owned over the past couple of years.
1) Koolaburra by UGG Women’s Fuzz’n Slipper (link)
- Comfort Level: 10/10
Remember how I mentioned that Ugg started making some vegan-friendly options? Their vegan options are mostly part of their latest sub-line – Koolaburra.
Koolaburra is a line that’s made by Ugg but is made with cheaper materials, which makes them more affordable. They’re still engineered to the same degree of quality, just with cheaper materials.
Thankfully, these cheaper materials are pretty much all vegan!
Faux leather and faux fur are both exponentially more affordable than their animal-derived counterparts. So, not only does this mean that your Koolaburra Uggs is going to be cheaper but they’re also 100% vegan as well.
The Fuzz’n slipper features an ultra-soft faux fur insole that makes your feet feel like they’re walking on a bed of clouds. The upper strap that lays horizontally over the foot is also made from faux fur, padding both sides of your foot in extreme comfort.
My favourite feature of these slippers, though, is the little polyester strap that wraps around the back of your heel. My biggest issue with most slippers is that they have a bad tendency to “slip” off of your foot.
This little strap is a huge design improvement and helps keep the slippers on your feet!
The main sole is made from a lightweight foam that absorbs all of the impacts, putting a reliable bounce in your step. It also offers a slight platform as well, so your bare feet have some space from the floor.
They’re available in ten different colours, so whether you gravitate towards bright neon colours or you prefer common shades, there’s something that you’ll like.
What I Like About Them:
- Super-comfy faux fur insole and lining
- Soft foam outsole
- A flexible polyester strap keeps them from slipping off your feet
- High-quality construction by Ugg
What’s Not-So-Great:
- They’re open-toe slippers, so they might not be warm enough for cold weather
2) UBFEN Unisex Adult Slipper (link)
- Comfort Level: 8/10
If you’re somebody who likes to do productive things in your slippers, then you’ll really enjoy UBFEN’s Unisex Adult Slippers. I actually got these slippers for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift.
But since then, I always seem to be stealing them and wearing them myself! They’re a bit big on me, but hey – they’re very comfortable.
Unlike my Ugg slippers, which are more for lounging around the house in, I can use these slippers to take the trash out or take my dogs on an early morning walk while I’m still groggy.
They feature a durable rubber outsole that has an anti-slip texture. This is perfect for those of you who live in areas that see snow and ice, which can be a major slipping hazard for your average foam sole.
UBFEN’s slippers also feature a close-toe design, so they’ll keep your entire foot nice and warm, even on cold days. The upper material is made from a water-resistant material as well. I wouldn’t submerge them underwater, but they can handle a bit of rain without any issues.
This makes them just as much of an indoor slipper as they are an outdoor slipper. They’re also great for camping if you just need something comfy to walk around your campsite in.
What I Like About Them:
- They’re good for outdoors and indoors
- Made with a non-slip rubber outsole
- Comfy faux fur lining
- Water-resistant upper and close-toe design
What’s Not-So-Great:
- They’re not as “fuzzy” as other house slippers
3) IZOD Men’s Two-Tone Moccasin Soft Classic Slip-On Slippers (link)
- Comfort Level: 9/10
For my vegan men out there, I seriously can’t recommend IZOD’s Two-Tone Moccasin Slip-On Slippers enough! They’re designed to keep your feet warm and protected, whether you’re walking around the house or going for a stroll around the block.
IZOD has always been known for their high-quality clothing and these slippers are no exception. They fit exactly as expected, so they’re not too large or too small.
Unlike other moccasin-style slippers, these don’t have any laces either, so they’re super easy to slip into and out of if you’re in a hurry.
Like the UBFEN slippers I mentioned above, IZOD’s moccasin slippers also feature a TP rubber outsole. The sole isn’t quite as high-tech as the UBFEN slippers, but it’s still slip-resistant, making these slippers great for outdoor and indoor use.
They feature a memory foam insole that perfectly moulds to the shape of your foot. After wearing these a few times, it’ll feel like they were made just for you.
The entire inner of the shoe is also lined with microsuede, which is a thin, ultra-smooth lining made by combining faux leather with soft polyester threads.
What I Like About Them:
- A high-quality rubber outsole makes them good for outdoors
- Warm, closed-toe design
- Microsuede inner lining
- Memory foam sole for extra comfort
What’s Not-So-Great:
- The rubber sole isn’t quite as high-tech as other rubber-soled slippers
4) COFACE Women’s Fuzzy Slides (link)
- Comfort Level: 7/10
If you’re looking for a comfy, affordable pair of slippers to slide around the house in, COFACE’s Women’s Fuzzy Slides fit the bill. Compared to my Ugg slippers, they’re nowhere near as high-quality. However, I also don’t mind getting them a bit dirty because they’re easier to replace!
The sole is just a simple piece of thin layered foam. While it keeps your foot from touching the floor, I wouldn’t recommend walking around in them all day.
They do offer a slipper with faux fur sole lining as well if you’re interested. Personally, I prefer the flat soles, as they don’t trap dirt and debris, though.
However, the ultra-fuzzy, ultra-fluffy upper is the real reason why I like these slippers so much. Each slipper features two extra-wide bands that criss-cross over your foot, covering it in a blanket of warm faux fur.
Another thing I like about these comfy vegan slippers is that they come in some really cool colours! Currently, I have the purple ones, but I’ve been eyeing the orange ones for my next pair.
What I Like About Them:
- Comfy faux fur upper
- Affordable and easy to replace
- Available in lots of fun colours
What’s Not-So-Great:
- No non-slip soles
- No memory foam
5) RockDove Women’s Trapper Moc Memory Foam Slipper (link)
- Comfort Level: 10/10
I’m not going to lie, my RockDove Women’s Trapper Slippers might be the only pair of slippers that I own that are as comfortable as my Ugg slippers. Unlike the open-toe Ugg slippers, these slippers are completely enclosed since they’re moccasin-style slippers.
The entire inside of these slippers is lined with ultra-thick, super-soft faux fur. I’m not sure what’s different about the faux fur they use in these slippers compared to some of the other slippers I’ve tried. Whatever it is, though, it’s nothing short of magical.
The uppers are made of microsuede, which looks just like real suede leather but is 100% cruelty-free.
They also feature a durable anti-slip rubber sole, which makes them great for wearing around the house or taking the dogs out on a walk. They’re very warm as well, so they’re perfect for the cooler winter months (or if you have a roommate who cranks the A/C all of the ways up).
RockDove Women’s Trapper Slippers are available in four colours as well: Coffee, Dove Gray, Burgundy, and Chestnut. Personally, I really like the hue of the Coffee slippers, so I went with those.
What I Like About Them:
- Durable anti-slip rubber outsole
- Ultra-soft faux fur inner
- Machine-washable
- Microsuede upper that looks just like suede leather
What’s Not-So-Great:
- Leaves part of the upper foot exposed
6) Sanuk Rounder (link)
- Comfort Level: 7/10
The Sanuk Rounders aren’t the comfiest vegan slippers that I’ve tried. However, they are some of the most versatile slippers that I’ve tried. In fact, they’re my go-to pair of slippers that I wear while I’m at the airport.
The reason I like these slippers so much is that they’re super-easy to carry along with you. I can literally pack them right into my purse without having to worry about them taking up a bunch of space.
Whenever I go through airport security, they’re easy to remove and put back on without having to go through a whole ordeal.
They’re made from a cotton and polyester upper, which means that they’re a lot more breathable than some of the all-synthetic slippers that I own.
They also feature a high-quality EVA rubber sole. So, while they’re simple enough to slip on around the house, they actually look like outdoor shoes.
Sanuk, as a company, is also great. They’re committed to selling sustainable shoes that are made with sustainably-sourced, often-recycled materials. They remind me a lot of TOMS, but I like the design of these a little bit better.
What I Like About Them:
- Easy to carry in a bag
- Durable EVA outsole makes them great for outdoors and indoors
- Made with partially recycled materials
- Lightweight and breathable
- Incredibly versatile
What’s Not-So-Great:
- They’re not as comfortable as some of the faux fur slippers I’m used to
Conclusion – What Are The Best Vegan Slippers?
Of all the slippers that I own, I’d have to say that the RockDove Women’s Trapper Moc Memory Foam Slippers are the best vegan slippers that I own. I love everything about them, from the all-faux-fur liner to the durable outsole, and the high-quality construction.
While these slippers can stand up to a bit of outdoor use, they’re not exactly weather-proof. If you’re looking for something that can really handle the elements, then be sure to read my post on the best vegan winter boots next!
