Why is it a good deal? 💰

You can add these top-selling slides to your cart for 33% off — not bad for a pair of versatile kicks you can wear year-round. Slide into them with bare feet during the warmer months and, once fall rolls around, pair them with soft and cozy wool socks. Heck, at this price, you can even buy one neutral pair to match everything in your closet and a brighter color for when your feet feel like making a bolder statement.

Why do I need this? 🤔

The cushy comfort these slippers provide comes from their EVA material. The foam soles are stacked at 1.7 inches to put as much cushion between your feet and the floor as possible and absorb impact. They’re designed for safety on all surfaces, with an anti-slip sole to prevent falls on wet or slick floors, and the deep heel cup conceals a part of your foot that may not yet be sandal-ready. (Just us?)

But the biggest pro for Amazon shoppers? They address a variety of aches and pains, especially for older feet that have been around a block or two. In fact, according to Yahoo's Izabella Zaydenberg, they do ease discomfort, even when wearers are struggling with issues like plantar fasciitis: "Every time I take off whatever shoes I was wearing that day and slip into these, all the tension and pain in my heel just dissipates," she writes.

What reviewers say 💬

Amazon shoppers of all ages are wild about these — there are more than 27,000 five-star ratings from verified buyers who gush about how comfy they are.

Pros 👍

"Soft and light! Like walking on air," raved this sure-footed fan. "My foot and lower back pain are gone!"

"Obsessed!" proclaimed another reviewer. "I have a lot of foot pain from years of wearing heels and then stupidly working out on hardwood floors barefoot. These shoes have changed my life! So cozy, such great support. My feet don't ache and my joints seem to hurt less too."

"Insanely comfortable! I've been having problems lately when I'm on my feet too long on my hard ceramic tile at home," shared a dog-tired devotee. "My heels have been cracking, the soles of my feet are killing me and even my knees have been hurting more than usual. These shoes solved all of those problems. They are so soft, with just the right amount of support. I wear them anytime I'm doing housework now and I don't have the pain I was experiencing before."

Many have shared how the Joomra Pillow Slippers became their go-to house shoes. "Finding the right house slippers can be a game of hit or miss, especially when you're looking for something that offers more than just basic comfort," mused one wearer. "[Joomra's] thick sole design is not just about comfort; it's about providing the right amount of support and pressure distribution that helps alleviate pain, particularly around my ankle area where the hardware is."

Cons 👎

Take note: Some shoppers advise sizing down. "These are super comfy, but do run big. Go down one size from your regular size," suggested an otherwise-satisfied customer.

"These aren't snug, well-fitting shoes," said a final reviewer. "They're meant to be quick and easy and comfy. They probably wouldn't be good to run errands in or go out in, but they're perfect for around the house."

Take your pick of 15 colors, including army green. (In a more adventurous mooood? How about cow print?)

Got chronically cold feet or prefer a closed-toe design? Check out this option instead:

We don't know who Leslie is, but she must be a champion of foot comfort, given the fact that an ultra-cushy slipper was named after her. Memory foam insoles provide a soft yet supportive feel, and heel and arch cushioning adds to the plushness. They just might become your go-to house shoes — and given that they're over 65% off, there's no reason to have cold feet about this purchase (though note that price varies by color and size).

"These slippers are so cozy, comfortable and warm!" exclaimed a buyer. "Due to the fact that I have had so many surgeries on my feet, I have trouble finding shoes and slippers that are comfortable enough to wear all day. These have just the right bit of memory foam. I can, and do, recommend these for anyone with foot problems and/or cold feet."
