I very much liked the Kuru Draft 2 ($110), which have a proprietary last that feels secure when I walk, as well as an insulated upper. But after calling in a few more slippers, I have now decided that our top pick is the Teva ReEmber.The company has several editions of this popular slipper/shoe, and it’s ubiquitous in Portland, Oregon, where I live. You do have to size down (I’m a size 7.5 shoe, and the 8 is too big), but this is the perfect pick for meandering between your backyard firepit and the kitchen for hot cocoa. The upper is insulated with both quilted nylon and a brushed polyester that looks and feels very woollike. It has been treated with a water-resistant coating, which helps keep it dry in the Pacific Northwest’s constant drizzling rain when I run to put the garbage bins out on the street. The rubber outsole also provides a bit more traction on wet asphalt than the Kuru shoes do.$90 at REI$90 at AmazonPhotograph: Martin CizmarThe Best Upgraded FirepitBreeo X24 Series Smokeless Fire PitAnother weird side effect of being a perpetually cold person is that I’m also a raving pyromaniac.
