The best type of heated slipper for a person depends on personal preferences for comfort, style and level of warmth. While there are different types of heated slippers, they all serve the same purpose. The purpose of providing warmth and relaxing sensations for a person’s feet.
The foot is one of the most often used parts on the human body. It holds a vast array of weight amounts that change from moment to moment. For athletes or active people, feet are often a source of pain or discomfort. This pain or discomfort is as a result of the high amounts of use on the foot, foot muscles, nerves and tendons.
One of the most popular ways to relax a foot is through the use of heat. Heat is essential for calming pain caused by high impact activities or just being on your feet all day. The different types of heated slippers often combine aromatherapy scents with heat in order to give the best relaxation benefits.
Slip-on slippers are one of the most common types of heated slippers in the world. They are worn in different cultures and countries around the globe. When a slip-on slipper is heated, it has extra special benefits for the wearer. These benefits usually include a removable microwavable insert, which acts like a heat pad on the toes of the wearer. The heat provides comfort and relief for many different varieties of achy feet.
Not everyone likes a slip-on slipper, and for those people who prefer a different style of a heated slipper, there are bootie slippers. Booties are a full slipper, and they cover the entire foot. They also cover part of the ankle. Many bootie-style heated slippers are equipped with aromatherapy scents, and they are one size fits all. These slippers usually do not have inserts. Instead the entire slipper is heated to provide warmth.

These warmers are usually good for a few hours, and they work in a similar fashion as a hand warmer. No microwave is needed.
Whether you choose slip-ons, booties, or slipper socks to meet your need for heated slippers,it is important to remember a few key elements. The best heated slippers are easy to use, machine washable, they provide an adequate amount of heat and they can also be used for cold therapy treatments.
