12 Pairs of Sumptuous House Shoes to Wear all Winter

If you’re not already an indoor-shoes convert, it’s time to cozy up to this winter’s must-have footwear trend: the fancy house shoe.

Technically, any pair of comfortable flats could be designated as indoor shoes, whether or not they’re actually soft-soled slippers or footwear with sturdier soles that could also be worn outdoors. But there are a few specific features that make for an ideal house shoe: a slip-on design that is easy to don and remove; a soft, texturally interesting material; and a versatile look that reads more room shoe than novelty footwear.

This season, there are plenty of luxe house-shoe options, from Balenciaga’s crocodile print-embossed mule to the Row’s delicate mesh slippers to a shearling-lined version of the classic Birkenstock Boston clog. It’s simply a matter of finding the one perfect pair to anchor your at-home wardrobe for winter.
