Birkenstock Zermatt Shearling

Nike ACG Rufus
Nike ACG has entered the chat with its best-of-both-worlds slippers, and we’re all here for it. Grim leather on the outside and cozy fleece lining on the inside, it’s all we can ask for in a warm winter slipper. Although they’ve been around for a while now, they are still worth the hype.
UGG Classic Mini GTX Boot
Gen-Z's readoption of the UGG boots came as a genuine shock for millenials the world over but the Australian brand has found a comfortable home on the feet of everyone from your mom to fashion's 'it' girls. This GORE-TEX version of the classic boot is made for any weather that winter can throw at you.
HAVEN x Hoka Stinson Evo GTX
Hoka's blown-up technical sole units are a defining quality of the brand and, in partnership with retailer Haven, it's a feature that looks as bold as ever. The murdered-out sole unit sets the foundations for a waterproof GTX upper ideal for warm feet in the cold season.
Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble
Harking back to the OG Air Max 95 silhouette, the 95 Big Bubble features the original Air Max window to the heel. Its increased size only adds to the comfort of this iconic design.
CamperLab Wabi
The recent announcement of Achilles Ion Gabriel's departure from CamperLab is a huge blow for the brand. During his time, the designer build the Camper offshoot into a central player in leftfield footwear and the Wabi perfectly exemplifies this with a mary-jane silhouette dressed in cozy fur.
On Cloudflow 5 AD
Few brands enter the footwear market with a stronger visual identity than Swiss label On. One of our favorite designs is undoubtedly the Cloudflow 5 AD which emphasizes the brand's futuristic DNA with a super-streamlined upper and all-terrain sole unit.
UGG Tasman II
The final word in cozy slippers is the UGG Tasman II. Designed originally for surfers to slip on after a session to keep their feet warm, it's got the right credentials to keep you toasty while you watch Netflix.
Nike Calm SE
Nike's Calm SE is one of the furriest pairs on the market, and we all know that fur = coziness. Not only lined with fur but covered in the stuff too, the Calm SE probably doesn't want to be wading through icy puddles, but is an MVP when it comes to at-home wear.
