Last updated on January 13th, 2023 at 09:20 pm

Looking for eco-friendly slides and mules? Slippers for casual fun, or for cozying up at home? This post covers some of the best eco-friendly slippers to wear in the comfort of your home. Check these brands out before you head to fast fashion options (better yet, do not buy fast fashion!). We want to know that the manufacturers made these products sustainably, with ethically sourced material, and have paid their workers a fair wage.

Tall order? Well, these eco-friendly sustainable slipper brands certainly don’t think so.

Pair these with ethical socks, and snuggle under your organic comforter. Winter’s not so bad!

Slippers aren’t usually topmost on the priority list of eco-friendly clothing. And, slippers are usually cheap, made from plastic or PVC foam, and pretty much a frequently purchased item due to its short lifespan.

Let’s change that.

Treat your feet well by choosing well-crafted, comfortable slippers made from sustainable materials. They last longer, and are better for the environment.

We look at some of the best eco-friendly slipper brands with certain characteristics in common: they are manufactured responsibly, made from ethically sourced materials, and are extremely well made.

Biodegradable Slippers

Plastic is not fantastic, so if you’re looking for biodegradable slippers, then natural materials are the way to go. Look for slippers made from ethically sourced materials.

1 // Nootkas Women’s ‘Aurora’ Wool Slide Slipper

Price: From $94

Hand-crafted | fair trade | non-toxic, AZO-free dye

For those not-so-hot days, Nootkas’ wool slide slipper is a classy choice. It has a soft, felted wool upper and natural rubber sole, to promote air flow and breathability. The wool is cruelty-free wool, responsibly sourced Mongolian merino wool. The design features Zero-drop construction for better posture and joint alignment. It’s the perfect pair for a bit of easy outdoor walking – whether you’re walking your dog, or running a quick errand.

2 // Allbirds Sugar Sliders

Price: $50

Certified B Corp | FSC certified natural rubber | carbon-neutral | ethically made

These sliders are made from sustainable sugarcane (vegan!), and come in gray, black and orange colors. They’ve been engineered with the world’s first carbon negative green EVA. The webbing strap is made from 100% recycled polyester, and finished with a bio TPU strap end.

Allbirds Sugar Sliders Review: “These are absolutely the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever worn. I get knee pain and sore in shins from wearing regular shower sandals and flip flops but this pair doesn’t get me tired even after a few hours of walking. Highly recommended!”

Recycled Slippers

1 // Dooeys Blush House Sandals (Recycled Rubber)

Price: $130

Vegan | Recycled | Ethically made | recycled packaging | Carbon offset shipping

The sole is made from recycled rubber, the footbed from cork and recycled foam. The “leather” is apple leather, and it’s lined on the inside with organic cotton. These Dooey’s open-toed slippers are perfect for a stylish summer.

Dooey’s Blush House Sandals Review: “These were a gift and I could not be any happier with them . I normally wear a 8 1/2 and these are a size 9 and perfect fit for me . They are so comfy and yet still give support . I have 2 other of the original style and am so happy to add these to my house shoe collection . I highly recommend dooeys !!!”

2 // Muffle-Up Repurposed Slippers

Price: $65

Handmade | small business

They’re not completely recycled, but they do make a huge effort to “ mix the new with reclaimed,” and their eco-friendly merino wool slippers are the cutest ever!

These sustainable wool slippers are handmade from materials including repurposed sheep’s fur lining and reclaimed leather soles, along with merino wool.

Muffle-Up Repurposed Slippers Review: “These are genuinely the best slippers I’ve ever owned. I have Raynaud’s which hurts terribly, and my toes turn blue and cold and it’s miserable. These are the first slippers to actually warm my feet back up and keep them toasty without overheating them too so I can keep them on for much longer! I love them, they are super cute, comfy, and the color is absolutely stunning! The sizing is also spot on! They would definitely make a great gift as well!”

3 // Indosole Recycled Tire Flip Flops

Price: $45

Cruelty-free | responsibly made | waterproof

So, there is a massive tire waste problem, and tires do not decompose. Just think about how many cars have been in existence and multiply that by four to get to the minimum number of tires out there. Indosole wants to make a tiny dent in this problem, by using recycled tires as the raw materials for their shoes and slippers.

Indosole has a signature recycled tire sole technology that they incorporate into all their products. This pair of flip flops have recycled tire soles, a contoured natural rubber footbed, and nylon toe thong. Importantly, the items are made “without animals or the use of fuel powered machinery.”

Indosole Slippers Review: “I love to support Indosole. You are doing everything I believe in – reusing old tires, hiring in the community and supporting the workers and community, and making comfortable shoes. I really loved the canvas shoes and I miss them. I haven’t been able to wear flip flops since I sprained my ankle and chipped the bone. But I’m trying again. When I first found Indosole, I had just come from Bali and Singapore and I found you at the Earthday Festival in 2011. So I was thrilled. I will continue to love and support Indosole whenever I can. I love the way the flip flops look and I think they will be just right after I break them in.”

4 // Recycled Plastic Slippers

All the plastic in the world has to go somewhere. Instead of letting plastic cause harm in the landfills, these brands have decided to recycle plastic and make slippers out of that.

Ethical Sheepskin Slippers & Wool Slides

Can sheepskin be ethical? Sheepskin comes from sheep that has already been slaughtered for meat (and is a by-product of the meat industry). But we know the meat industry is filled with horrible treatment of living, sentient animals. Were the sheep treated ethically and humanely during their lifetime? These brands say the sheepskin is obtained from ethical sources.

1 // Draper of Glastonbury Lilly Women’s Sheepskin Mule Slippers

Price: £60

Family business | sheepskin experts |

This slip-on style sheepskin mules slipper comes in many lovely colors, and is made from suede upper with real sheepskin lining and insole. The sole is made from rubber.

Lilly Women’s Sheepskin Mule Slippers Review: “These are the best slippers I have ever had. I bought a pair for my daughter three or four years ago and I was so impressed as to how new they still looked and how fluffy and warm, that I asked for a pair myself this Christmas. \ My pair that I received from my son are beautiful, they hug your feet, they are warm, snug and so comfortable. \ They are more expensive, but British made and worth every penny.”

2 // Kyrgies Women’s Wool Slides

Price: $69

climate-neutral certified | low-impact dyes | artisan-made

Made in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, these no-slip wool slides are for those who’d rather not display their toes, even in the Summer. The molded arches and ethically sourced wool make for a great pair of slides. And they come in loads of lovely colors. However, Kyrgies strongly recommend this pair be used indoors only. So…perfect for winter?

Kyrgies Women’s Wool Slides Review: “Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase. I wear them daily. We have brick floors and they are very comfortable. They are a tad big, but I got some of the inserts to help if/when they stretch out.”

3 // Baabuk Wool Slippers

4 // Xanthe Anna Sheepskin Slippers

Price: £75

Women-owned | made-to-order | ethical sourcing

This Welsh brand is an overachiever on our list: they use ethical sheepskin, vegetable-tanned leather for the heels, and 60% recycled material for the soles. Organic hemp is used to bind everything together. The thread used to stitch everything together is made from plastic-recycled bottles.

So, it’s mostly biodegradable, with recycled materials, and is made in small batches, which means less environmental impact. And the workmanship is excellent by all accounts. Brilliant!

Xanthe Anna Sheepskin Slippers Review: “Beautiful product and great customer service! I bought this pair of handmade slippers from the internet and it was a great experience.
