In a world where many a day passes without leaving home, the humble house shoe—or slipper—now reigns supreme. But not all house slippers are equal, that is for sure. When it comes to comfort at home that transcends to comfort while winter camping, vanlife-ing, and après skiing, you can't chance it with some dinky $15 joints from Target. This is serious gear, folks. Choose your fighter accordingly.
Swarth your feet with the same comfort a puffy jacket provides with a minimal slip-on or maximal booty of the caliber long familiar only to bivouacking campers. Whichever path you follow, with the following 15 winter slippers for men & women, you'll be cozy all season long.
[Why stop at slippers? To reach peak cozy this season consider a pair of down pants.)]
What to Look for in a Pair of Camping Slippers
Soles
Like an outdoorsy Mr. Rogers, you’ll be swapping your hiking boots for these cozy camping slippers at the end of a long day. But, that shouldn’t be any reason to leave grippy outsoles behind–you never know what treacherous terrain lies between your camping chair and tent. Minimalist, down slippers and insulated booties bare no sole whatsoever, but it’s not unusual to find rubber micro-lug soles lining the bottom of these backcountry clogs.
Insulation
The quilted slipper look might not be for everyone, but there’s no doubt that baffles of down or synthetic fill are a highly effective way to warm your feet when cold weather arrives during outdoor camping, or indoor drafty apartments. Pay close attention to secondary layers of wool or microfleece lining to add even more warmth and comfort.

The adventure sandal brand first broke onto the camp slipper scene with their insulated ReEMBER line (formerly the Ember Moc) which gets a bit of an overland treatment in the new Terrain style.

Underfoot, the recycled rubber outsole provides non-slip traction that surpasses any slipper you’ve ever seen.
