I have given up on slippers. Most are too hot for my feet over time.

I am now using a Pilates sock, that breathes, which keeps my feet at a neutral temperature. I am wearing my summer slides with the new sock with good results.

I also find having a small heater on the floor here (this part of the house is not over the basement), cuts the cold really well.

Really cold feet may be a sign of poor circulation, so attacking the problem by improving that may be better than finding the "perfect" slipper. Soaking in epsom salts will open up the blood vessels nicely. L-arginine and L-citrulline will increase nitric oxide in the blood vessels and dilate them so more blood gets to the extremities.
