Best kids' slippers 2023: 19 of the cosiest options
Keep little toes toasty with our edit of the kids' best slippers, whatever the weather.
Snuggling up with a pair of slippers, some kids' pyjamas and a cosy kids' dressing gown is the perfect way for youngsters to hit sleep mode after a busy day of play. For active younger kids, it's important to choose a pair of slippers that'll suit their needs. A Velcro strap will be more secure and will help to keep them more steady on their feet. Older children are more likely to want to choose a fun pair that suits their style and that'll be easy to throw on as soon as they get in the house.
Best kids' slippers 2023:
Why you can trust GoodtoKnow.
If you have wooden floors, look out for kids' slippers with a rubber sole to help prevent any slips. This will also help protect little feet from stubbed toes and stepping on Lego (ouch).
Turtl Kids Slipper Socks, £25 - Kidly
Sizes: Infant 7 -12
These clever slippers are just the thing to stop your little one from slipping, whilst maintaining the benefits of being barefoot.
Available in fun colours- coral, pink, aqua and black- and suitable for indoors and out, these also boast amazing eco credentials. The slippers are created out of yarn which is made from recycled plastic bottles and harvested algae biomass (but can still be machine washed!) - not that you'd realise, because they also look exceptionally cute on little feet.
Kid's Star Slipper Boots, from £8.80 - Marks & Spencer
Size: 4 Small - 7 Large
These cute and cosy slipper boots are guaranteed to keep toes warm, with an all over star print and fleecey insides they're super inviting for small feet.

Fairisle Slipper Boots, £14.70 - Boden
Size: 27- 33
The fairisle design on these slippers somehow makes them more cosy. As well as being visually appealing, they are a mix of acrylic and wool, with polyester lining and a cotton twill sole so are a practical choice too- they even have a star design hidden on the sole, which makes it even more fun to put your feet up!
Dream Bridge Kids Sherpa Fleece Slippers with Anti-Slip Sole, £11.99 - Amazon
Size: 4 Infant - 11.5 Infant
Available in a range of colours, these little slippers have extremely flexible and anti-slip soles, a warm, cushioned insole and warm plush upper, so little feet will be safe and warm padding about the house on cold winter days.
Which kids' slippers will last the longest?
Kids tend to grow out of everything pretty quickly so affordable slipper options are perfect. The thing is, though, they will most likely be worn daily so you'll want to buy a pair that they'll get the use out of. Look to longer-lasting materials such as real leather as these tend to last longer. If they're not worn that much outside (unless they have a rubber grip sole) they should last until kids' feet grow out of them.
