Okay, I daydream of wearing a pair of heels (statement-making ones, at that) on a near-daily basis. But if I'm completely honest, it's much more likely that you'll find me in a comfortable pair of house shoes instead. While I'm not saying my stiletto heels won't have their shining moment, these cozier options—whether they're fuzzy slides, easy flats, or podiatrist-approved sandals—are effortlessly easing me into my post-pandemic wardrobe.
Perhaps you were an early adopter of the house shoe trend the moment you started spending more time at home, or maybe you were wearing them long before then. But this summer, they're taking on different forms, especially now that places are becoming more accessible. So if you're looking for comfortable shoes that look good enough to wear in and out of the house, I've pulled together my favorites that can do both. Go ahead and check them out below.
Chunky Strap Sandals
Get ready to wear these with everything you own.
Nope, I'm still not over tie-dye.
LoveShackFancy has put its whimsical touch on footwear, and I'm not mad about it.
Your old-school jelly sandals could never.
I have three pairs of Birkenstock Arizona sandals in my closet, and I'm about to get these as my fourth.
Oof—these are just good.
Fuzzy Slippers
Bedroom slippers but make them black-tie.
There's no doubt about it: Sleeper's on a roll.
For when you want to wear fuzzy slippers but need something that'll feel more polished.
Slip these on and head out the door at a moment's notice.
Trust me—you'll never want to take these off.
Andra Day wore these in black to an Oscars after-party, which means you can wear them anywhere.
Why not add a luxe style to your slipper collection?
Clogs
Hunter's rubber clogs are bound to be one of your favorite pairs.
You can never go wrong with a pair of classic clogs.
Leave it to The Row to create clog-like shoes in the most sophisticated way.
Lauren Manoogian has been known to make pieces that practically define elevated comfort, and these shoes are no exception.
Yet another animal print that's surprisingly versatile.
Style these with your favorite jeans and a boxy tee for an easy ensemble.
Easy Flats
Chic, simple, and timeless—what more could you ask for?
These everyday flats will hug your feet in the best way.
The scrunch effect is everywhere, and Staud's flats are one of the easiest ways to sport the trend.
The perfect shoes for when you don't want to wear anything else.
Loafer-style mules will never get old.
There's something about pointed flats that just feels, well, elevated.
Pool Slides
A pop of color is perfect for the warm-weather months.
You'll want to wear these with everything.
An unexpected (but so welcome) addition to anyone's wardrobe.
I can't get over the vibrant shade of these Fendi slides, and I have a feeling you'll love them, too.
In my humble opinion, BY FAR can do no wrong.
Let's be honest: When it comes to everyday pool slides, no one does it quite like Adidas.
