The moment I landed in the Midwest for the holidays, I realized the shoes I packed were in no way equipped for the cold weather; Los Angeles has officially warped my understanding of what a true winter-ready shoe is. Ballet flats and leather sneakers really aren’t the best footwear options when there’s snow on the ground, but there’s one shoe my visit home desperately needs that’s so beloved, even California-girl Kendall Jenner just wore it.
While out in Aspen earlier this week, Jenner opted for the casual-chic winter outfit I’ll probably think about for years to come. Her black cargo pants were simple but sleek, while her Khaite sweater, with its Fair Isle design and oversized sleeves, was so quintessentially winter without feeling kitschy. And, of course, she finished her look with the beloved mini Uggs — which she wore again the next day with an all-white look — the viral shoes everyone from Kaia Gerber to Jennifer Lawrence has worn. While the style is almost always sold out, it’s currently in stock at Amazon, though we can’t imagine that will last for long.
Ugg Classic Ultra Mini Boot
Ugg has had a major resurgence in the last few years, and while the tall style might have dominated the early 2000s, its revival has been all about the mini version. The short boot is chunky but doesn’t limit your pant options (there’s a reason why everyone reaches for booties in winter), and can be styled with everything from oversized jeans to cozy leggings.
The Classic Ultra Mini boot is available in 28 colors at Amazon (though available sizes vary by color), including classic gray and brown shades, as well as more bold hues like hot pink and highlighter yellow if you really want a pop of color. The shoe is crafted with high-quality, durable materials, including wool, suede, and sheepskin, with shoppers saying the “plush lining feels like a dream on [their] feet.”
Ugg Classic Ultra Mini Boot
This boot boasts more than 5,100 five-star ratings on just Amazon, with customers raving about its “cozy-chic” look. According to one person, these are “the absolute most comfortable shoes you will ever wear,” with them going so far as to compare their feel to “like walking on a cloud.”
Another reviewer wrote, “These boots are not only stylish but incredibly comfortable, versatile…and durable,” while one other person added “these are so comfortable and great for everyday wear” and can be worn “with anything, jeans, leggings, or sweatpants.”
The Classic Ultra Mini Uggs are rarely in stock to begin with, and between Kendall Jenner’s stamp of approval and their general winter-perfect design, I can’t imagine they’ll be available much longer. So, make sure to grab a pair of the booties that combine comfort and style while they’re still in stock at Amazon. But just in case your size is gone, shop similar styles below:
