Here\u2019s what you should know.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What Slippers Can You Wear Outside?<\/h2>\n<p>Indoor\/outdoor slippers aren&#8217;t a new concept, but they&#8217;re currently having a moment. If you want to wear slippers outside, you should look for a pair with durable, weather-resistant outsoles. This protects the upper material from the outdoor elements while safeguarding your feet from <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/shopping\/footwear\/best-slippers-n1241949\">scrapes, pokes, and bacteria<\/a><\/span>.\u00b9 In a perfect world, they&#8217;d all be designed this way. But as you know, not all house shoes are created equal. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, it\u2019s essential to understand the <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/house-shoes-vs-slippers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">distinction between slippers and house shoes<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so you can select the right pair for your lifestyle and needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>With that said, the best outdoor-friendly slippers include moccasins, clogs, mules, sandal-style slippers, and slides. Read on for a breakdown of each style and what to look for if you plan to wear them outside.<\/p>\n<h3>Moccasin Slippers<\/h3>\n<p>Typically made of suede or soft leather with stitching around the top, the moccasin slipper is inspired by authentic Native American footwear. Modern moccasin slippers are sophisticated and dapper, with a silhouette similar to loafers. They often have faux-sheepskin or shearling lining for added warmth and pair seamlessly with loungewear and street clothes alike.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re going to be wearing today\u2019s slipper moccasins outside, a sturdy rubber sole with a patterned tread is key. This ensures they&#8217;ll hold up on concrete, asphalt, gravel, and other outdoor terrains while providing traction and stability. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/snuggle-slipper.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snuggle Slipper<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Vionic is the perfect moccasin-style choice if you\u2019re craving a cozy, supportive pair you can wear comfortably all winter long.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Clog Slippers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clog slippers with a closed-back design are ideal for<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">indoor and outdoor use<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Look for a pair <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feature <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rubber outsoles and a heel height of at least an inch. This way, you\u2019ll have peace of mind about walking around outside, even if the ground is wet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The clog slippers from Vionic have dense yet flexible rubber soles with 1.3-inch heels and textile-wrapped EVA footbeds<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, delivering lasting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">durability<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and comfort with every step<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re trying to <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/6-ways-to-keep-your-feet-warm-at-home\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keep your feet warm at home<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, these shoes are a great option.

The backless slip-on style is classic, cool, and perfect for year-round wear. Today\u2019s mules are often designed with the same rubber <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">outsole materials <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you\u2019d get with regular street shoes. However, some have flimsy pad-like soles surrounded by fabric, so make sure you check <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">durability<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before buying a pair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To make the search for the perfect indoor\/outdoor style easy on you, we design all our comfortable slippers with dependable rubber outsoles and shock-absorbent EVA midsoles.

Cleaning cloth uppers is a little trickier but totally doable.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While machine-washing slippers isn\u2019t recommended, you can<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wash them by hand<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u2075 Fill your sink or a large bowl with warm water and about a teaspoon of dish soap. Immerse your slippers and let them soak for 15 to 30 minutes until the soil is lifted. However, some of our slippers are available in<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/slippers-you-can-wear-outside\/\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">machine washable styles<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rinse your slippers off with clean water until all the soap is gone and no bubbles appear when you squeeze the material. After that, wrap them in a towel and press down gently to absorb the water. Then allow your slippers to air-dry the rest of the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Where to Buy the Best Slippers for Indoors and Outdoors<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in the market for a pair of indoor\/outdoor slippers, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vionic<\/span><\/a><\/span> is proud to carry a wide range of comfortable, supportive styles with durable, grippy soles.<br \/>\nWhen you browse our collections, you&#8217;ll find contemporary moccasins, practical clogs, classic mules, luxuriously soft sandal-style slippers, and of course, the wear-anywhere Kiwi Slide.
