The Cozy Shoe Trend Has Taken Over The Fashion World

A fun little fabric called bouclĂ© has taken the home decor world by storm. Woven from looped yarn, bouclĂ© is soft and nubby. And after hitting the interior design scene in 2019, it quickly became a fan favorite. The fuzzy fabric has adorned everything from on-trend sofas to fluffy throw pillows. And now, it’s making a beeline for our footwear—blessing us all with cozy shoes.

Fuzzy shoes aren’t necessarily new. But bouclĂ© does cozy footwear better than most. Why? The fabric is durable and stain-resistant, so it’s great for furniture—and even better for footwear. And since it doesn’t absorb water well, it holds up on drizzly days. Plus, cleaning bouclĂ© shoes is easy: Just dip a cloth in soapy water, and dab stains away in a snap.

The only problem? BouclĂ© shoes aren’t easy to find. In the footwear world, bouclĂ© goes by many names: sherpa, faux shearling, fleece, and sometimes just faux fur. So when you search for “bouclĂ© shoes,” you might draw a blank—even if the store you’re browsing is packed with fuzzy footwear.

The trick is knowing where—and how—to look. And since we’ve become armchair experts in bouclĂ© terminology, we can save you a few hours of sleuthing.

To hook you up with cozy shoes without making you work for it, we’ve rounded up some of the finest bouclĂ© shoes on offer. Our picks range from classics (like snuggly slides and fuzzy slippers) to unexpected finds (like bouclĂ© pumps, fuzzy heels, and cozy knee-high boots). And since options abound, you can snag a different pair of bouclĂ© shoes for every single season.

Reike Nen Faux Fur Mules

A great pair of slip-on heels is a must in any closet. And these Reike Nen mules are some of the coziest heels you can buy. The shoes are made of leather, so they’ll hold up on nights out. And since they’re lined with bouclĂ©, they’ll cozy up any outfit you wear.

These chunky Gia Borghini boots are exactly as cozy as they look. The flatform boots aren’t just covered with bouclé—they’re also lined with felt. And they’ll cozy up your legs from your knees down to your toes.

TOMS Jade Loafer Flats

Lots of bouclé shoes just have fuzzy exteriors. But these TOMS loafers are lined with bouclé inside and out. We especially love that the shoes are both fuzzy and sleek. Want a pair of cozy flats you can wear with a button-down? Look no further.
