What to look for
1. Where the heat goes
Many heated shoes and socks only warm the toes. On a stone kitchen floor or bare floorboards in an older terraced house, though, the cold mostly comes up from below. Slippers with heating in the sole and across the top of the foot warm you from both sides.
2. Battery life on the setting you will actually use
Headline figures usually refer to the lowest setting. On Gløde slippers you get roughly 3 to 4 hours on high and 11 to 12 hours on low. For an evening in front of the telly, medium or low is normally plenty.
3. Warm-up time and temperature
According to the specifications, the Gløde slippers warm up in about 10 seconds and have three settings of roughly 40, 50 and 60 °C.
4. Closed or open heel
A closed slipper with a drawcord keeps heat in better. An open heel is handier if you keep nipping out to the bins or letting the dog into the garden.
5. Sole and grip
On laminate, tiles or a wet utility room floor you want grip. Both Gløde models have a rubber TPR sole.
6. Warranty and trial
A battery slipper is an electrical product, so check the cover. Gløde gives a 2-year warranty and lets you try for 30 days with a money-back guarantee.
The slippers reviewed
Gløde heated slippers, taupe: the warmest choice for the sofa
The taupe heated slippers are our top pick because they heat in two places: the sole and the top of the foot. Each slipper has its own 2,200 mAh battery tucked away in a pocket at the back, with an indicator on the button. The soft teddy lining and drawcord at the cuff help keep the warmth in. Price: €119.99.
Downside: a closed slipper takes a moment longer to put on than a slide.
Gløde heated slippers, open heel, grey
The grey open-heel slippers use the same sole and top heating and the same battery. A useful touch: after 5 minutes on high they switch down to medium by themselves. Also €119.99.
Downside: with no back, your heel stays a little cooler than in the closed version.
Bertschat Beheizte Hausschuhe Limited Edition
Dutch brand Bertschat sells a heated slipper for €139.95 (price November 2026), with temperatures up to 65 °C and a choice of 2,200, 3,000 or 4,000 mAh batteries. Plus: with the largest battery, Bertschat quotes 3.5 to 9 hours. Minus: the heat is at the toes, and according to the product page the slippers are not washable, only wipeable with a damp cloth.
Ororo Tahoe and Lenz Heat Sock 5.1: socks instead
Prefer socks? The Ororo Tahoe Heated Socks 4.0 (€129.99, price November 2026) heat the sole and forefoot and can go in the machine on cold. Note that the product page says they cannot be returned or exchanged. The Lenz Heat Sock 5.1 (€89.95, price November 2026) warms the toes and runs for a long time, but the battery is sold separately, so the total cost is higher. Gløde also sells rechargeable heated socks in black with heat at the toes and forefoot. See our heated socks buying guide for more.
