Okay, I daydream of wearing a pair of heels (statement-making ones, at that) on a near-daily basis. But if I'm completely honest, it's much more likely that you'll find me in a comfortable pair of house shoes instead. While I'm not saying my stiletto heels won't have their shining moment, these cozier options—whether they're fuzzy slides, easy flats, or podiatrist-approved sandals—are effortlessly easing me into my post-pandemic wardrobe.
Perhaps you were an early adopter of the house shoe trend the moment you started spending more time at home, or maybe you were wearing them long before then. But this summer, they're taking on different forms, especially now that places are becoming more accessible. So if you're looking for comfortable shoes that look good enough to wear in and out of the house, I've pulled together my favorites that can do both. Go ahead and check them out below.
Chunky Strap Sandals
Get ready to wear these with everything you own.
Nope, I'm still not over tie-dye.
LoveShackFancy has put its whimsical touch on footwear, and I'm not mad about it.
Your old-school jelly sandals could never.
I have three pairs of Birkenstock Arizona sandals in my closet, and I'm about to get these as my fourth.

Fuzzy Slippers
Bedroom slippers but make them black-tie.
There's no doubt about it: Sleeper's on a roll.
For when you want to wear fuzzy slippers but need something that'll feel more polished.
Slip these on and head out the door at a moment's notice.
Trust me—you'll never want to take these off.

I can't get over the vibrant shade of these Fendi slides, and I have a feeling you'll love them, too.
