My doctor recommended me that.
I bought OrthoFeet slippers. They seem to work but are very warm (artificial fur inside) and not comfortable.
Are there any other slippers, please?

Besides being way too warm for me, the OrthoFeet slippers have soles that seem to be very slippery on my laminate floors, and even on the carpeted areas. I'm afraid to walk in them, so in the winter I keep them by my sofa in case my feet get cold while I'm sitting around watching TV.
I like the Skechers slippers. They have pretty much the same sole as the regular Skechers and are lined, but not too warm.
Maybe a thick pair of socks to wear with diabetic open toe slippers. The bottom sole is non slip. If you still feel too warm take the socks off and wear the slippers. They have arch support, memory foam nice and soft and the hook and loop keeps them closed to the depth you choose. Amazon sells them.

Consider something like these "boat shoes" by Sperry. I bought a pair of them about 15 years ago and still wear them every day around the house. They're actually designed to be worn on a boat (as the name implies) which means that the soles provide excellent traction.
I can attest that they are VERY durable since I've used them daily for 15 years with no problems. The sole is very good and the interior provides some support. The leather upper is very comfortable and fits like a glove.
Yes, the price of about $110 is a bit on the steep side, but if you get them, you likely won't need to buy another pair for at least 15 years, maybe longer. That figures out to a cost of about $7 per year or about 2 cents per day. And they'll provide much better support and probably cost less than if you bought cheaper house shoes and had to replace them every couple of years.
My Dad actually got "my slippers" and he loves them, he can wear them outside, walking to the mail box or whatever, not slippery. He is having some slight neuropathy at the end of the day.
I suggested OOfos to my brother who has peripheral neuropathy due to type 2 diabetes, for when he gets home, he is working after retirement, 5 hrs a day, 4 days a week. He sees a foot dr once a month. He figured out slip Ons for work are better for his feet than tie shoes. He wanted nothing to do with them, I thought they would be great for after work, a machinist on his feet for 5 hrs. He never goes barefoot so the Oofos would be great at home, but he is stubborn for anything he thinks are a trend, so oh well. I'll bet ya he looks at them after he went home today
I just wear a slide on sandal in lieu of of slippers. I like the Merrel brand. In the winter I wear socks with them. I don't wear them out in public. I also have a easy on/off clog type shoe. I use orthotics in the shoes I wear outside of home.
The regular slippers from shoe store/Amazon have a thin sole, which bends easily. The hard sole does not bend much, so the movement range for the toe is shorter. This feature helps with arthritic pain.
You question tells me you do not have arthritis yet!

Wrong. I've dealt with significant arthritis in multiple joints for at least 25 years. Ankles, knees, metatarsals, and a THR at 48 due to arthritis. The term you used was vague which was why I asked. FWIW, I don't wear "slippers" because of my feet. I wear various types of soft but supportive shoes around the house including OOfos and Crocs.
