Slippers are frequently made out of soft materials such as felt, terrycloth or soft leather, and may or may not be lined. Some slippers, particularly those meant to be used near pools, bathrooms, or other wet places, are made of plastic or rubber. Slippers generally have thin and flexible soles, with a shallow tread meant only to prevent the wearer from slipping on smooth floors. In contrast, shoes and boots are generally made of canvas, plastic, rubber, or leather, and often have thick soles.

Slippers may be shaped like a shoe (foot inserted through top), or may have no heel, so the foot can be slipped in the back.

The term "slipper" is sometimes used interchangeably with the terms flip-flop and sandal.

Certain breeds of dog have been identified for their superior ability to fetch their owner's slippers, a domestic version of the fetching of shot prey for which hunting dogs have actually been bred by humans.
