‘Tis the season for the grand closet switch-up—when lightweight barn jackets take a backseat to furry coats, and slim-fit long-sleeves are layered underneath cashmere sweaters. There’s a breeze in the air and we’re dressing accordingly, but with this shift comes an unexpected accessory option penetrating the footwear market. What could it be, you ask? Shearling shoes.
Shearling has become a go-to for coats, hats, and handbags, offering a warm and fuzzy feel that is synonymous with the tone of winter. It was only a matter of time before it influenced our shoe collections. While shearling-lined shoes, like Uggs or Gucci mules, have been around forever, the shoes of today have surpassed simple slides and everyday booties. In fact, there's a shearling shoe for every occasion—even a night out, or holiday party. On Simone Rocha’s fall/winter 2024 runway, furry flats and pumps made waves, documented on social media and punctuating show reviews. Acne Studios played with black slip-ons, while David Koma showed off a white ankle boot, cast in allover shaggy fur.

These shearling shoes have the power to add an unanticipated texture to classic ensembles. Imagine zhuzhing up tonal suiting with Manolo’s shearling-trimmed pumps, or elevating a weekend look elevated by Gucci’s Princetown slippers—a chic way to give new life to denim and suede pairings. Honorable mention goes to the winter boots we’re eyeing this month, from Vince’s short silhouette to Miu Miu’s knee-high chocolate brown pair. There are luxury options from Burberry and Prada, and high street must-haves at Zara and Source Unknown.
Ahead, 30 shearling shoes—flats, loafers and pumps, included—that’ll give you a warm, fuzzy feeling for the upcoming winter.
Boots
There’s no need to compromise style, even on the coldest, wintry day. These shearling boots will keep your feet toasty even in sub-zero temperatures. For those days look to Vince and Isabel Marant lug soles and water-resistant uppers. For drier moments, Hereu’s all-over furry double-faced sheepskin ankle boots are a unique addition.

Don’t underestimate the power of a shearling heel. These styles are for the bold and the adventurous, like Burberry’s tactile shearling style adorned with a chunky chain-link strap, or a pair of Manolo Blahnik’s trimmed with black fluff.
