What to look for when shopping for slippers
✔️ Proper fit: Ragland notes that like any other shoe, slippers need to fit properly. Many product descriptions include information on how the slipper fits, so be sure to read it before adding any to your cart. You can also look to product reviews to see what other people are saying about the fit.
✔️ Arch support: This is related to proper fit, but if you have plantar fasciitis or any other condition that requires arch support, look for a slipper designed for this. Ragland notes that many slippers have soles made of memory foam or other firm material that offers arch support.
✔️ Weatherproof soles: If you anticipate wearing your slippers when you walk into the backyard to play with the dog or walk down the driveway to get the mail, look for a sole made of rubber or other sturdy material that won't get damp. "As a licensed podiatric surgeon I always advise wearing shoes outdoors and indoors," says Ragland.
