Women's slippers: winter slippers for home and beyond

The women's slippers in the department keep your feet warm at home and can step outside for a few minutes: winter sandals Subu with outdoor soles, Moon Boot slippers, mules and The North Face ThermoBall slippers, and a few models from Aigle and Keen. Soft pairs designed for chilly days.

The slipper, the pair we wear the most

Waking up, remote work, lounging on the sofa: a pair of slippers often spends more hours on our feet than any other shoes. That’s why they deserve to be chosen carefully.

A good pair keeps the warmth, doesn’t flatten out after a few weeks, and fits well without slapping with every step.

Subu, the Japanese winter sandal

Born in Tokyo, the Subu brand specializes in a single product: the “winter sandal.” Its padded upper, treated to resist water, wraps around the foot like a little sac sleeping bag.

Its unique feature is its sole: thick and made of textured rubber, it is designed for the outdoors. You can take the dog out, empty the bins, or head to the local café without needing to change.

The Subu models

The section offers several versions: the Belt with a strap, the Checker with a check pattern, the Circle, the Concept in tweed, and collaborations like the Nannen. The shape remains the same, only the material and style change.

The Moon Boot slippers

The Italian brand Moon Boot, famous for its après-ski inspired by space exploration, has adapted its style into winter slippers. Park, Teddy, Soft or Icon: generous volumes and soft materials for cold evenings.

They bring the mountain spirit home, with real warmth.

The North Face and ThermoBall

At The North Face, the slippers use ThermoBall insulation, a synthetic filling that keeps warmth even when damp. The Base Camp Thermoball is worn as a mule, while the Thermoball Traction covers the foot and offers a non-slip sole.

Lightweight and compressible, they can also fit into a sac for the cabin or camping.

Aigle and Keen

Some Aigle and Keen models complete the section, showcasing the rugged spirit of these outdoor brands.

Mule or closed slipper?

Mule: the heel remains free, it slips on without hands.
Closed slipper: it covers the heel and keeps warmth better.
High slipper: it also protects the ankle, ideal in a poorly heated home.
Winter sandal with an outdoor sole: for a quick outing without changing.

Which sole to choose?

On cold tiles, a thick sole insulates better than a thin one. On wooden floors, a non-slip sole prevents slips on stairs.

If you go out often, prefer a rubber sole, like those on the Subu or the Thermoball Traction.

The right size

A slipper should fit snugly without being tight: too big, it slips off and causes trips; too small, it squashes the toes. Thick padding compresses a bit over time, which is why it’s wise to choose a snug fit.

If you’re between sizes, go for the larger one if you wear thick socks.

Slippers and socks

Barefoot, a lined slipper remains soft and warm. With a wool sock, it becomes a real barrier against the cold of an old house. Check out the women's socks to complete your look.

A slipper for remote work

When working from home, you keep your slippers on all day: a closed model that holds the heel well prevents you from shuffling your feet. A slightly thick sole also eases hours spent standing in the kitchen.

The slipper when traveling

For a stay at the cabin or a friend’s place, a compressible slipper like the ThermoBall takes up little space in your suitcase. A Subu works just as well on the train as it does in the gîte.

Maintaining your slippers

Follow the label: some can be machine washed at low temperatures, others only by hand. Always let them air dry, away from radiators, which can harden materials and warp the sole.

Air them out regularly to avoid odors.
