Best Shearling Boots
Chances are you’ve probably heard of shearling.
Heck, you probably recognize it the minute you see it. But do you really know what makes shearling, well, shearling?
The detailed processing requirements behind shearling surprised me, and they may surprise you, too!
Basically, shearling is recently shorn sheepskin that is tanned, dyed, and processed with the original wool still attached. This last component is critical, as the attached wool preserves the breathable, durable, and odor-resistant properties of authentic shearling.
Now that we’ve got the boring definitions out of the way, let’s highlight what actually matters, which is that shearling boots are winter wardrobe essentials, no questions asked.
The natural shearling fibers not only keep your feet warm and dry, but its durability means your boots can last for multiple brutal winters! Oh, and shearling boots are also incredibly cute.
If you’re still feeling sheepish, keep reading for the best shearling boots to tackle this winter!

Best Shearling Chelsea Boots: Talbots
These leather chelsea boots are perfect for winter, thanks to a cozy layer of shearling .
The boots are a simple and sleek pull-on style, and have a flexible sole with great traction. Inside, they’re super comfortable thanks to a memory foam footbed!
I have them in brown with the white shearling trim, but they also come in other colors!

Most Comfortable Shearling Boots: UGG
Casual enough for athleisure outfits yet cute enough to wear while braving the cold for weekends out on the town, the UGG shearling boots are a ridiculously plush introduction to shearling’s wonders.
What I love most about these UGG boots – besides the brand’s quintessential durability and performance – is that they use shearling in multiple ways.
While the exaggerated cuff is clearly shearling-lined for ample warmth and comfort, these boots also include a shearling sock liner that naturally wicks moisture and keeps your feet dry!

Best Waterproof Shearling Boots: Sorel
Whether I’m getting dressed for a summer block party or a 3 block walk to the drugstore in a torrential blizzard, I always try my best to look cute.
The harsh reality of winter, however, is that performance and comfort (probably) matters more than style and having a completely coordinated outfit.
These winter boots from Sorel may lack chic accoutrements, but they can definitely withstand even the cruelest winters.
Made with completely waterproof leather and an extremely durable molded rubber outsole, the Sorel boots use shearling throughout the lining and tongue for the extra insulation that will make you incredibly grateful come the darkest days of winter!

Softest Shearling Boots: Minnetonka
These Minnetonka winter boots deviate from the typical formula by crafting the upper from suede rather than leather.
As with all choices, there are trade-offs to choosing suede over leather with no “right” or “Ideal” fabric. Big picture? Suede is typically softer and more comfortable – but less durable – than leather.
If you like the softer touch, however, the Minnetonka boots feature a cute shearling trim that perfectly complements the naturally soft suede upper!
