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.
