16 Best Slippers With Arch Support for Pain and Plantar Fasciitis

Sliding your feet into a cozy, supportive pair of slippers is the perfect start or finish to any day. But finding the perfect slipper isn't just about keeping your feet toasty warm on cold tile floors. It's also about finding a shoe you can stand in all day and one that provides arch support, especially if you have plantar fasciitis, collapsed arches, bunions, or other conditions that cause foot pain. That's why we researched top styles and best sellers, gathered advice and recommendations from a podiatrist, and evaluated hundreds of reviews of popular brands to give you our list of the best slippers with arch support. "Slippers with arch support are essential to maintain the foot's plantar fascia," Dr. Yolanda Ragland, a podiatrist, forefoot reconstructive surgeon, and founder of Fix Your Feet tells Woman's Day. "Without proper arch supports, the arch can collapse, causing pressure and stress to the plantar fascia leading to micro-tears in the structure and resulting in a painful condition referred to as plantar fasciitis or commonly known as heel spurs or heel pain."

Whether you prefer cloud slides, booties, or walking sandals, there's sure to be a comfortable and supportive slipper on here for you. If you're up for more shoe shopping, don't miss our in-depth roundups of the most comfortable heels, the best running shoes, the best shoes for bunions, and the best shoes for nurses.

"Vionic slippers have styles for a garden variety of heel-pain sufferers," says Ragland. The Relax slipper, which the brand claims is trusted by The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), is perfect for those who want comfort, support, and durability. They have a terrycloth orthotic footbed interior and an adjustable hook-and-loop closure to customize to your feet. You can order them in 23 different color combinations. But what makes them truly stand out is the thoughtfully designed arch support that helps ensure stability and comfort.

One customer shared, "If you have plantar fasciitis and need to wear shoes 24/7 these are perfect to slip into and wear they are comfy and you get the arch support you need to prevent your feet from hurting."

Another winner from Vionic is the Gemma, a clog-style slipper that comes in eight different patterns and colors. Different parts of the slipper are designed to offer different things. The heel cup offers stability, the middle offers arch support, and the toe box is cushioned for comfort. All in all, it's a great slipper for people who experience plantar fasciitis and need orthotic inserts to move comfortably around the home.

These affordable slippers have upwards of 20,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, so you know they're good. The memory foam interior is both supportive and comfortable, according to one reviewer who described it as "like walking on a cloud but with the support you need." Other reviewers mention that the arch support is minimal, so this pair may be the best fit for someone who needs just a little bit of arch support and plenty of comfort. They also have a knit upper for breathability and a rubber sole with an anti-skid design.

If Barbie needed arch support slippers, we're pretty sure this is the pair she'd pick. (They're available in seven other colors if hot pink isn't your favorite). The adjustable open-toe design is breathable and the deep heel cup provides stability. Best of all, multiple reviewers praise the comfortable arch support on these slippers. One reviewer shared, "These definitely have arch support without being too firm. They allow your foot to bend with the shoe."

These cozy slippers are made with wool, which keeps you warm while wicking away moisture. They also feature memory foam cushioning, a weatherproof sole, and a supportive footbed. This pair comes in sizes ranging from small to extra-large and is available in two colors. One customer shared, "Because of some foot and joint issues I'm unable to wear slippers without arch support. These have just enough to cradle my feet without feeling rigid."

These clog-style slippers are made with soft terrycloth, a memory foam insole that's molded to offer arch support, and a sturdy rubber sole.

These slippers come in a variety of fun colors and patterns. The open-toe design also allows for breathability if you frequently find your feet overheating. Even better, they have plenty of arch support, according to reviewers. One customer shared, "I have plantar fasciitis, so arch support was a big must when I was looking for house shoes. I'd previously been wearing Crocs around the house, and putting these on the first time felt like taking a deep breath for my feet."

These slippers come in at less than $30, making them a cost-effective pick for slippers with arch support. They have a plush fleece lining and a high-density foam insole that offers your feet plenty of support as you go about your day. Another noteworthy feature is the anti-skid rubber sole which gives you plenty of traction. One reviewer described them as "Lovely, cushiony, supportive to arches and heels."

These slippers are so comfortable, it'll be hard to convince yourself to change out of them when it's time to head out. These slippers are specially designed with supportive orthotic insoles that keep the foot aligned and the arches supported. They also have a soft faux fur lining to keep your feet cozy even on those cold winter days. The slip-resistant soles provide excellent traction, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor use during the chilly months.

Let's be real: Fuzzy slippers can definitely make your feet sweaty and uncomfortable. If you're looking for an alternative, try these sleek colorful slides with plenty of support and no shearling or faux fur. This open-toed slipper is made from supportive foam that cushions your foot. Plus, according to reviewers, these slippers are comfortable for those with plantar fasciitis. And they're stylish and durable enough that you might even be tempted to wear them out and about.

Another Vionic favorite, the Jackie has a deep heel cup for extra comfort and a hook and loop adjustment to ensure the slipper fits snugly on your foot. The outsoles are also made of rubber, making them more sturdy and easy to clean. One reviewer writes, "Great for plantar fasciitis. With these on I don’t get that pain in my arch when I stand after sitting a while. The strap can be adjusted to keep my foot in position and helps fit better if you are narrow."

These moccasin-style slippers have plenty of heel lift, which Dr. Ragland emphasizes is important when choosing footwear. They come in medium and wide sizes as well as half sizes and feature a super-soft lining. Plus, they have a cushioned heel, an ergonomic sole, and a wide toe-box. One reviewer also shared that these slippers come with "extra insoles and arch supports that allow you to refine their fit."

Love or hate the aesthetic of Crocs, there's no denying that these are comfortable. The fluffy lining makes these feel more like slippers than regular shoes, and one reviewer stated, "The clogs give me a lot of arch support while wearing them as slippers in the house. They are also very warm." This pair comes in a wide variety of sizes and colors and have nearly 95,000 (!!!) five-star ratings on Amazon.

These wooly slip-on shoes get top marks from reviewers, who love the cozy but durable material and supportive heel of these slippers. They have a very understated design and color palette that make them an undeniably chic addition to your loungewear wardrobe. Best of all, the removable cork-blend insole provides top-of-the-line arch and metatarsal support. One reviewer shared, "If you are looking for sturdy, firm arch support, this may be the slipper for you."

✔️ Heel support: "It may be difficult to find slippers that are truly arch-supportive, however, a slipper with a slightly raised or inclined heel is just as beneficial," says Dr. Ragland.

✔️ Materials: If you frequently have cold feet, look for warm materials like synthetic fur. If your feet are often overheated or sweaty, then look for moisture-wicking or breathable slippers made with materials like foam. Additionally, if you also have bunions, you'll want to look for slippers with a wide and accommodating toe box.

✔️ Outdoor readiness: If you anticipate wearing your slippers outdoors — such as on your deck, or in the driveway when you go out to get the mail — look for slippers that can handle this. Something made with rubber would likely be a good choice.
