Shearling slippers and slides, which cropped up last winter while lots of us were hunkering down at home, are back with a 2021 upgrade. With more designers and brands getting in on the trend, these iterations are perfectly primed for a little luxury this winter, whether you will be out and about a bit or have zero plans to leave the couch.
A hybrid between your favorite slippers and your practical sneakers [1] or slides, these picks include soft shearling lining on the inside or textured finishes on the outside — a look that's begging to be snuggled, worn with your favorite sweatpants, or styled up with jeans and an oversize sweater. From designer versions like Gucci's logo-covered slides to fresh twists on the Birkenstocks [2] we've been living in for the better part of the year, meet the winter shoe that's about to replace your slippers, sneakers, and everything in between. Here, shop our editors' picks.
We love the way Sleeper's bright colorways put a rainbow spin on the shearling trend.
Shearling mules are undeniably chic.
These shearling-covered Birks are the ultimate in cozy cool.
