Best Kids’ Slippers of 2025

These Toy Story slippers strike a perfect balance between comfort and practicality. They have enough padding to cushion feet against cold tiles, but they aren’t so bulky that your child trips over them.

We love that Woody is on one foot and Buzz is on the other. The stitching is secure, so the characters stay looking sharp even after a few cycles in the washing machine. The stuffing also bounces back nicely after drying.

The soles feature rubberized dots for traction. While they provide decent grip for walking, they won’t stop a determined kid from sliding across a smooth floor if they try hard enough.

Dearfoams is famous for cozy footwear, and this “Li’l Bear” line brings that same quality to your kids.

They come in 18 styles with sizes ranging from infant to big kid. The memory foam insole is soft but supportive, sitting on top of a proper rubber sole. This means they are durable enough for quick trips to the porch but soft enough for lounging.

The designs are fantastic for families. You can find “Big Bro,” “Lil Sis,” and “Baby Bear” options, making them perfect for holiday photos or a gift for siblings.

These slipper socks from Joules are less bulky than they look in photos, sitting just above the ankle for a snug fit.

The elastic around the ankle is effective at keeping them on without digging into the skin. If your child hates heavy footwear, this lightweight design is a great compromise.

Instead of rubber, the sole is made of soft suede. This provides natural traction on wood floors without the “stuck” feeling of rubber, preventing sudden stops that can cause tumbles. Plus, the glow-in-the-dark stars are a huge hit at bedtime.

If you need a slipper that acts more like a house shoe, this clog from Dearfoams is the answer. The firm rubber sole is sturdy enough for the garage or patio.

The design includes a small lip at the heel, which keeps the slipper from flopping around while your child walks. It offers the ease of a slip-on with a bit more security.

Inside, a thick layer of memory foam cushions every step. It’s a great choice for kids who need arch support or simply prefer a structured shoe over a floppy sock style.

These official Nintendo slippers are bright, puffy, and perfect for the gamer in your life.

The padded soles are thick enough to block the cold from hard floors but flexible enough for comfortable play. Rubberized dots on the bottom provide standard grip for indoor use.

They are essentially giant pillows for feet. This keeps toes incredibly warm, though the synthetic material can get a bit sweaty if your home is kept at a high temperature.

These Cookie Monster slippers solve the problem of falling footwear with a clever design element: a stretchy knitted sock cuff. It extends about two inches up the ankle to lock the slipper in place gently.

Beyond just being footwear, they double as a toy. The mouth is constructed so your child can put their hand inside and use the slipper as a puppet.

While they are soft and fun, note that the interior is unlined, so the back of the “puppet” face touches the foot directly.

If your kid loves to stomp around like a monster or a bear, these are the slippers for them. Available in eleven wild designs, they turn feet into giant paws.

The slippers extend above the ankle for extra warmth. The “toes” are padded and feature soft claws, while the sole has just enough cushioning to be comfortable without feeling like walking on a mattress.

They come in a huge range of sizes, so you can easily replace them as your child grows, or even get a pair for yourself.

From the brand known for cool casual shoes, these Skechers slippers are all about the sparkle. The flip sequins are mesmerizing and double as a fidget toy for restless hands.

Despite the heavy embellishment, everything is attached securely. We didn’t lose a single sequin or ear during testing, even with active play.

The padding is on the thinner side, so they feel more like a thick sock than a shoe. The fit is also quite narrow, so they might not work for wider feet.

These Hanes moccasins offer a grown-up look for little feet. The rubber sole is flexible but durable, with a molded grip that works well indoors and for quick trips outside.

The memory foam cushion is stitched directly to the woven upper, providing a snug, comfortable fit. It’s a classic style that appeals to kids who think character slippers are “too babyish.”

One annoyance we found was the tag sewn directly onto the heel of the insole. It can be scratchy, and even cutting it out might leave a rough edge that bothers sensitive feet.

Don’t confuse these with the standard rubber clogs, these are soft felt slippers designed specifically for indoor coziness.

The soles feature small foam nubs that provide excellent traction, making them a safe choice for toddlers learning to navigate tile floors. The felt material is warm but lightweight.

They are perfect for keeping the chill off, but because the fabric is relatively thin, they aren’t suitable for stepping outside onto a damp porch or cold patio.

These official LEGO slippers are built like a tank. They combine a highly padded upper with a stiff, shoe-like rubber sole.

The design features the iconic LEGO bricks and a minifigure head, which is a guaranteed winner for fans. The back of the slipper has a padded elastic band to keep the foot secure.

Because the upper is so stuffed, the fit can feel tight at first. We recommend letting your child wear them with thin socks for a few days until the padding compresses and conforms to their feet.

These are the ultimate hybrid between a sock and a slipper. With a knit exterior and a fluffy fleece lining, they feel like a warm hug for feet.

The fold-over cuff ensures they stay up, while the soft construction makes them comfortable enough to sleep in on freezing nights. They are great for kids who refuse to wear stiff shoes inside the house.

The non-slip grip on the bottom is effective, though it can be a bit noisy on hard floors (think sticky tape sounds). Also, the two layers of fabric can sometimes shift against each other, which might annoy picky kids.

These Laura Ashley slippers prove that you can have sparkles without looking tacky. The metallic threads woven into the fabric give a nice shimmer that kids love but parents won’t find garish.

They feature a rugged, non-slip sole that provides excellent stability on stairs or smooth floors. The interior is lined with faux fur for warmth.

Be aware that these run small. The padding is plush, taking up valuable foot space, so sizing up is usually the best bet to get a proper fit.

These are for the fashion-forward kid. They are incredibly fluffy and stylish, mimicking the trendy adult slides you see everywhere.

Unlike heavy rubber-soled slippers, these use a lighter synthetic sole that is much quieter on hard floors. An elastic strap around the heel keeps them securely on the foot, so your child isn’t shuffling around to keep them on.

The main drawback is maintenance. The long faux fur traps dirt easily, and since they can’t be tumble dried, washing them without matting the fur is a challenge.

Carter’s delivers a solid, budget-friendly slipper that gets the job done. The fleece lining is warm, and the soles have enough grip to prevent indoor accidents.

While described as “slip-on,” they actually have a structured heel cup that requires a little tug to get on. We prefer this, as it keeps the slipper much more secure during play.

Sizing is the tricky part here. The size ranges (like “Toddler Large”) are vague, and they tend to run small. Definitely order a size up to avoid squished toes.
