You could get him novelty slippers, something fun like SpongeBob or Scooby slippers? He might be more interested in wearing them then.
Personally I can't tolerate anything on my feet, even socks are a bit much really! I prefer to have my feet bare. It's way more comfortable for me that way.
I'm curious as to why he needs to wear slippers as well?
It might be he prefers to have nothing on his feet and I expect that's something we can all understand. I prefer to be barefoot whenever possible, I hate the feel of anything on my feet, especially shoes. When I wear shoes it feels like my feet are being strangled.
As a girl me mam always had a struggle to get me to put me shoes on ready for school lol. I still don't like wearing shoes, socks are ok, so long as they're a good material that doesn't affect my skin.
The secret to slippers is natural fibres. The feet and head are very specific to temperature regulation and petroleum-based fibres like polyesters are essentially wearing plastic.
I started to find that my son would happily do a thing which also felt slightly indulgent. So, once he was older I bought him a pair of Shepherds of Sweden and he never opts for bare feet again!
I only wear slippers when my feet are cold and even then I wear slipper socks or the ballet pump style ones with slipper sock bottoms. I just wear socks or have bare feet when it’s warmer. Why does he need to wear slippers? Do you have hard floors that he’s falling over on?
My son who is now 16 never liked slippers. He sometimes wears socks, only particular ones he finds comfortable but most of the time he walks around indoors in bare feet. He doesn't like things on his feet. I presume it is the same for your son. I tried slippers when he was younger but gave up trying.
