Whether you’re a fan of minimalist slides or super-warm shearling booties, slippers are both practical and feel a little luxurious. And let’s face it: Who couldn’t do with some extra pampering right now?

Give the gift of Ugg’s warm and stylish Fluff Yeahs and you’ll knock it out of the park. These platform slip-ons are 100% shearling, with a rubber sole and elastic back strap.
