There are plenty of cruelty-free slippers available on the market — and they’re just as cozy as their non-vegan alternatives. Constructed from plant-based and man-made materials such as cotton, sherpa fleece, and faux fur, the best vegan slippers have cushioned insoles and multiple features that upgrade the comfort factor. They come in a variety of styles, and some are even durable enough for outdoor use.
What makes for a vegan slipper? One that’s entirely free of free of animal or insect-derived materials. While materials such as suede and fur are pretty clear choices to steer clear from, others might not be so obvious, like wool, mohair, and silk. However, despite its potentially misleading name, sherpa fleece actually is vegan, since it’s made out of manufactured polyester. The same goes for microsuede, which is constructed from synthetic microfiber.
While all slippers are designed to be warm and soft, there are other factors that influence the overall design of the shoe. Scuff slippers have open backs that provide ventilation while being easy to slide on your feet, while a moccasin-style pairs will wrap around the feet for extra warmth. Likewise, slippers that are piled high with faux fur or sherpa fleece will offer more warmth than ones with a thin terry lining, making them the perfect choice if your feet run cold. Also, if you plan on wearing your slippers outside to grab the mail or let the dog out in the morning, look for a pair with durable rubber outsoles that can stand up to grass and concrete, but if you plan on wearing them exclusively indoors, foam soles should suffice.
All of the options below are made from vegan materials and come highly rated by shoppers. Also, this list includes a mix of options that are marketed as men’s, women’s, or unisex, but the only real difference is typically the sizing and color choices (so go with whichever pair suits your style and needs the best). With so many comfy designs to choose from, you’re sure to find a pair you’ll love wearing around the house.
The fan-favorite slippers
Boasting a 4.5-star overall rating on Amazon after 110,000 reviews in total, these two-tone slippers from RockDove are seriously popular, and for good reason — they do everything good slippers should.

Memory foam insoles makes them comfy, while thick rubber outsoles gives them the versatility of being an outdoor shoe.
According to a reviewer: “LOVE THESE SLIPPERS! They are comfy, nice looking and have really held up. I am pretty hard on slippers, and these have kept their integrity very well.

According to a reviewer: “Wow. Now I'm totally spoiled for anything else! These are magnificent slippers -- like putting your foot into a cloud, which doesn't end when you step out, walk on it. They fit like a glove, just solid comfort heel to toe. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I order another pair -- I'll have to see how they wash, because being all-fabric, they will get dirty, sooner or later.”

According to a reviewer: “I was so surprised with the fit, style and comfort of these wonderful slippers. I will be sure to take these on camping trips for around the campfire and making memories!

According to a reviewer: “Holy crap, are these comfortable. They fit perfect and do not slip off while walking around the house, up and down stairs, or outside to check the mail. The sole on these is good for that minimal outdoor use. The material is thick, soft, and cozy. I usually have several pair of slippers in different styles, but none were right lately. Now that I have these, I have retired most of my other ones. When it's time for a second pair, it'll be exactly these.”

According to a reviewer: “Wow! Once you put these on you won’t want to buy another brand of slippers! At first when I felt the faux rabbit fur that decorates & lines the slippers I thought it was real & if so I’d return them as I have pet rabbits. That’s how soft it is. But these slippers are supportive. They have a cushion that molds to your feet & a hard rubber sole that can be used outside if you do not mind getting them dirty. They are a faux suede so they can be washed.”

The ones with wide sizing options

Constructed with soft canvas twill uppers and a butter-soft faux shearling lining, the slippers come in a variety of buffalo check, camouflage, and herringbone patterns. The layer of padding beneath the insoles is firm, so they’re best for those who don’t want super soft footbeds, but the heel cushions are designed to absorb shock while the compression nodules on the sturdy rubber outsoles offer extra support. Just note that these slippers only come in men’s sizing.
According to a reviewer: “These have quickly become the best slippers I have ever worn. The padding, while pretty firm, has some give that you hardly notice as you wear them, and are so much more comfortable than slippers I've had before with thick memory foam cushions.”
