23 Best Slipper Socks That’ll Keep Feet Warm and Toasty All Winter Long
When it's cold, it helps to have slipper socks around, trust. I recently made the move from sunny, warm Los Angeles to also sunny, but exponentially colder, Salt Lake City. I haven't experienced actual seasons in 12 years, which means I am woefully unprepared for any weather that falls below 60 degrees. Since I can't pull a bear and hibernate until winter is over (job, responsibilities, inability to lower my body temperature eight to 12 degrees, etc), I've been prepping for the cold months ahead (and indulging my shopping habit) by purchasing all things snuggly and cozy—including as many pairs of slipper socks as I can convince my S.O. are "serotonin-ly necessary."
What are slipper socks, exactly?
Slipper socks are hybrid between socks and slippers (pretty much what they sound like), and generally what differentiates them is that they have non-slip grippers or non-skid soles, so they're easier to walk around in on hard floors. Most have some kind of super soft, thick interior lining to protect feet from the cold.
In addition to keeping your feet cozy and warm, these cozy slipper-sock hybrids are also a podiatrist-approved way to make your footsteps lighter. Use their power for good. Here, we've rounded up the best of the best (and restrained myself from making any "getting cold feet"-related jokes).
