Any non leather slides are a good option…

Years ago people only wore slippers and non leather sneakers but last few years I see people wearing regular looking shoes just not made from leather but they really look the same.
You can just buy whatever you usually wear style wise on amazon and make sure they are not leather.
Keep in mind that you need to feel comfortable to stand for a long time.

Do you have a specific one in mind? I need to buy one, and I need a link; I don't have time to search now.

Go into a shoe store. Find non leather sneakers, crocs, ballet slipper shoes.
That simple.
What have you been wearing until now?

I think the requirements are different if you’re hanging out at home all day or going to shul

Anne klein wedge shoes. Material with a bit of wedge. Very comfortable. I wear them all day.

I want something cheap. The local stores are way too expensive.
I didn't have anything normal to wear the last few years...

Go to dsw online check out their sale items. Some are 16 dollars. Or whatever store in your area thats like target or Walmart. ( since we don’t know where you live)

Halachically that's it.

Personally, if I'm going to shul and standing for long periods, that's not necessarily the same non leather shoes that I would wear for being child focused around around the house, and grabbing time to daven when I can.

To be honest, if I'm around the house, there's a good chance that I won't even be wearing shoes. I definitely wouldn't go to shul barefoot.

These are great-
Except if it’s raining (or pouring!) and you need to walk to shul (which was the case last year where I live)

In my shul, majority of women and girls wear floafers and crocs.

I didn’t mean halachic requirements, I meant personal style/choice.
At home you might want to wear your slippers while in shul you might want something else
