5 Podiatrist-Approved Fur-Lined Slip-On Shoes To Get Out of the House in Speed and Style
Coffee in one hand, keys in the other, door flung open—the out-the-door rush can leave you feeling frazzled. Reasonably so, running late to work or being in a hurry to pick up your kids from school can leave you fumbling through the door with your shoes half on—which may have you reconsidering your day-to-day footwear choice, especially on errand days. Choosing a shoe can be especially tricky during the colder months, where open-toe shoes won't cut it, and closed-toe options like boots and sneakers may be too much of a hassle to lace up. Which is where fur-lined slip-on shoes come in to save the day.
"Fur-lined footwear has more benefits than just keeping your feet warm by regulating the temperature around your feet," says Janine Ferrigno-Taddeo, DPM, a New Jersey-based podiatrist and expert consultant for Aetrex. Not only does it shelter feet from the cold and is unbelievably soft (it's like walking on clouds), "it provides the best fit, where the fur can mold to your unique foot shape, making it snug and comfortable when wearing," she says.
Before your quest to buy slip-on footwear commences, Dr. Ferrigno-Taddeo recommends buying slip-ons with arch-supportive soles. Having arch support can "properly align and support your body from the ground up," she adds. Also helpful? Shoes with traction to prevent slips or falls during the icy and colder months.
Not all fur-lined slip ons are made with podiatrist-approved specs, though. To ensure you're getting the best deal (by that, we mean the green light from certified podiatrists), scroll down to check out these best fur-lined options that'll help you skedaddle out of your home in a speedy fashion.
