Over the last few years, we’ve seen a boom in loungewear, transforming the embarrassing sweats we secretly wore around the house into chic sets of functional and comfortable designs. House shoes have also come a long way from the days of the clumsy bunny slippers we used to shuffle around the house in. Now we can find slippers for every region and season, with indoor/outdoor designs that make taking out the trash a quick chore without the wardrobe change.
While you’ve probably been investing in a sustainable home wardrobe, you can’t forget about a cozy pair of slippers! We’ve found nine brands crafting the best in sustainable house shoes for you, your BFF, or your entire family, so everyone’s feet can stay toasty all year long.
Pair them with our favorite snuggly and sustainable pajamas and a responsibly made robe!
