Something you might not know about me that is kind of gross is that my dog Sammy is incontinent. He wears a diaper whenever he’s indoors, but the diapers are not infallible, and for that reason I always have on shoes when I’m home. But I don’t want to wear the ones I’ve been shlepping all over the neighborhood in—especially now—so I thought it might be fun to look for slippers and other footwear that is suitable for indoor wear. I’ll start with the pair I thought were the chicest: these oiled leather moc clogs from Jenni Kayne.

I owned a pair of Haflinger wool clogs back in the day—they’re a classic among the prep school set—and so I can tell you first-hand that they are desperately comfortable.

I’m betting these Allbirds flats are pretty comfy too; they seem like a good option for the plane too, if any of us ever get back on one on those.

These slides are just kind of fun, with contrasting prints and textures.

I wrote about these Birkenstock clogs over the winter: I bought them and wore them to death. Right now they’re marked down at Shopbop, and while they’re not available in ever size anymore, maybe you’ll get lucky.

These mule/clogs are from Denmark (I dig the little flag) and I like how understated they are.

These just look like they’d be easy to slip on, and I like the gray.

These loafers are from M. Gemi—a brand I know some of you swear by—and I think they’re pretty sharp.

I like the slight platform on this slipper—yes, I crave height even when I’m home alone.

A pair of classic Minnetonkas are cool in a 70s-ish way.

These might be a little too warm for the weather we’ve been having, but they sure are cute.

I can’t recall the name of the commenter who suggested this post—there have been so many comments lately—so thanks for the suggestion, Anonymous Reader, and away we go: this orange print specimen is just so damn happy, and I think it would help my mood in the morning—the toughest time of day for me lately—immeasurably.

Here’s an elegant little number from Hanro with just a touch of lace detail in the back.

The star print here is pretty fun.

This looks like an old-fashioned dressing gown.

The embroidered sleeves here are a nice touch.

And here is a luxe cashmere robe that’s pretty reasonably priced, as cashmere robes go.

The oversized floral print on this one is nice and graphic.

Such a good pink, and I like the lace detail on the sleeves.

This gorgeous robe from Fleur du Mal is currently marked down—still pricey, but less so.

This just looks as cozy as all get-out.

A pretty robe with a kind of Japanese-y floral print.

How great is this leopard print robe? I’m highly tempted by it.

I think this might be the prettiest one of the bunch, and I like the graceful hemline.

And finally, here is what I shlep around the house in: a men’s scotch plaid robe from L.L. Bean, sized up for maximum comfiness.
