Daily Wear Footwear for Men & Women: Slippers, Sliders and Sandals
Daily wear footwear is what you put on most days, so the sole and the fit matter more than the colour. This collection has slippers, sliders, cork sandals and waterproof sandals for men and women, in sizes 3 to 12. The canvas sliders and angular slippers are the easy everyday pairs. The cork thong sandals are the dressier pick.
What is the best footwear for daily wear?
The best footwear for daily wear depends on where you spend the day. For home and errands, light EVA-sole slippers (chappals) or sliders are enough. For long hours on your feet, arch slippers are the better fit. For smart casual offices, cork thong sandals sit better. For rain, waterproof sandals are the safer pick. NoStrain's daily wear range covers all four for men and women, in sizes 3 to 12.

How to choose daily use footwear
By use
For wearing at home and for errands, angular slippers and sliders are enough. For smart casual offices, the cork thong sandals sit better. For rain, go with waterproof sandals. For long hours on your feet, arch slippers are the better fit.
By sole
EVA soles are light and soft underfoot, which is why most daily slippers and sliders use them. Cork footbeds feel firmer and look dressier. If you walk a lot or stand through the day, pick a sole with some thickness or an arch contour over a thin flat one.
By fit
In open footwear, your heel should sit fully on the footbed and your toes should stop short of the front edge. Straps should hold your foot without pinching. Sizes 3 to 12 are listed here, and the size filter shows which styles come in yours.
By budget
Arch slippers start at ₹399. Angular slippers are around ₹699 to ₹799, sugar sliders are between ₹799 and ₹1,499, and cork sandals are ₹2,599. For a lower ceiling, see footwear under ₹999.
Where each style falls short
Sliders and flip-flop style slippers are open and fairly flat, so for very long walks the arch slippers are the better choice. The cork thong sandals cost the most on this page and are not the pick for wet floors, which is what the waterproof sandals are for. The waterproof sandals are the least dressy of the group.

How to make daily wear footwear last
Brush off dust with a soft brush after heavy use. For canvas, linen and denim uppers, use mild soap and water, then dry in shade. Wipe cork with a damp cloth and do not soak it. Keep wet pairs away from direct heat and sun. Wearing two pairs in rotation lets each one dry out and slows the wear.

How often should I replace daily wear slippers?
There is no fixed number. Replace them when the tread is worn flat, the footbed has gone thin or the strap loosens. Rotating two pairs slows the wear.
Are slippers or sandals better for daily wear?
Slippers are easier for home and short errands. Sandals with a strap hold the foot better for longer walks and look more put together at work. On this page, the angular slippers and sliders cover the first case and the cork and platform sandals cover the second.
Is EVA good for daily wear footwear?
Yes. EVA is light, soft underfoot and water-resistant, which is why it is common in daily slippers and sliders. Like any foam, it compresses with use, so replace the pair once the footbed goes thin.
What footwear is best to wear at home?
Light slippers or sliders with a soft footbed and a grippy sole. The angular slippers (AN series) and arch slippers (AS series) work for most homes, and the waterproof sandals are the pick for wet floors in the bathroom or balcony.
