The Best Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Slippers

After a long day out, it’s nice to come home to a pair of cozy slippers. But wouldn’t it be even better if your slippers were made from eco-friendly materials and by people who were paid fairly for their work?

what to look for when shopping for sustainable slippers

When it comes to sustainable slippers, there are many things to look for - Who makes them? What are they made from? Can you wear them for years to come? Transparency is essential when shopping sustainably, and if your questions can’t be answered easily on the brand’s website, you may want to look elsewhere.

Popular Eco-Friendly Materials Used in Sustainable Slippers

Many slippers listed below are made from wool, rubber & leather since they hold up well over time, and recycled plastics. You can also find a few up-cycled materials. My favorite Chilote slippers are made with up-cycled salmon leather & the entire shoe’s materials are locally sourced and support local artisans. All brands below source their materials sustainably as possible and create a beautiful, well-made slipper!
