“I have bought Grosby slippers for many, many years. Always comfortable as a good slipper should be,” wrote one reviewer. “Usually give about two years service before being replaced with a new pair when they graduate to ‘pottering’ around the yard slippers. Wouldn’t be without them.”

BEST UGG BOOTS FOR MEN

On offer in five colours, these classic sheepskin boots feature a moulded insole, water-resistant and breathable sheepskin lining and upper, and a hard rubber sole with great traction. Reviewers recommend sizing up, but say they’re worth it for the comfort. “These low boots are indescribably comfortable in the house all winter long. Who needs socks? Who needs clogs? It’s hygge for the feet,” said one happy reviewer.
BEST SLIDE SLIPPERS FOR MEN

Available in black or grey, the Fluff You Slides are a fun way to stay cosy. Made of a plush wool blend with a super-soft sheepskin innersole and a lightweight outer sole, they’ll keep you cosy while still providing some breathability.
WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING SLIPPERS?
Here’s a few factors to take into consideration when purchasing your next pair of slippers:
• Budget: Slippers don’t have to cost a whole lot of money, and you can buy a lot of decent quality pairs for pretty cheap – however if durability is what you’re after, be prepared to expand your budget just a little.
• Material: Synthetic materials will be cheaper, but high quality options like sheepskin, which has the added benefits of breathability and moisture-wicking abilities, may be more comfortable.
• Sole: If you’re the type who’s planning to buy a pair of UGGs to wear at home and on the go (hey, we’re not judging) then be sure to get a pair with a sturdy sole and decent grip.
• Authenticity: Authentic UGGs will cost you a lot more than imitations, but they feature premium quality Australian materials and could last longer.
HOW DO I SHOP MY SLIPPERS FROM SMELLING?
Wearing socks with your slippers may help to avoid some sweatiness and therefore, some smelliness – but even so, trying to avoid that foot smell is difficult in well-worn footwear. That said, products like Odor-Eaters Foot & Shoe Powder – $8.95 at Amazon Australia – are ideal for absorbing moisture and neutralising odours and bacteria if you want to keep your slippers feeling fresh for longer.
WHAT ARE THE BEST MEN’S SLIPPERS FOR SWEATY FEET?
If you’re prone to getting a bit sweaty while wearing slippers, opt for a breathable material like sheepskin, an open-toed design, or simply add a pair of socks to keep moisture at bay. You can also switch things up and go for a pair of slides that’ll keep your feet well aerated (and in winter, you can rock the socks and slides look for extra warmth).
