When these Dearfoams bootie slippers were selected for last year's Favorite Things list, Oprah said, “Some days you need your slippers to go the distance, like from the house to the mailbox.

From a Favorite Things list of the past, these Vionic slipper slides never go out of style. "Talk about cute and comfy," Oprah said. "A flexible midsole, an orthotic footbed, and plush terry cloth fabric? My feet have never been happier."

A flexible midsole absorbs shock to reduce stress on the feet, ankles, and knees, while the anti-bacterial, odor-resistant fabric keeps things fresh. Even better, an adjustable strap closure allows for both a customized fit and an easy on-and-off.
