Your feet don’t like being ratcheted into cold, hard plastic. After crushing the hill all day, give ‘em a break.
1. SANUK Women’s Shorty Chill
A lady’s feet do not stink. Or they won’t in these hip slide-ons from surf-inspired Sanuk. Faux shearling surrounds antimicrobial molded EVA footbeds. $60; sanuk.com
2. L.L.BEAN Men’s Wicked Good Moccasins
The memory-foam footbeds and moisture-wicking shearling are soft enough for sensitive types. But it’s the tough-guy camo we love. $69; llbean.com
3. MINNETONKA Men’s Moose Moc
Nothing says manly more than moosehide. Except maybe the buffalo- check fleece lining. $71; shoebuy.com
4. TSUBO Men’s Prospero
A contoured footbed hugs your arch. A crepe outsole hugs the floor. A sleek suede outer is cool enough to sport at the bar, where you can do your own hugging. $175; tsubo.com
5. UGG AUSTRALIA Women’s Dakota
Ugg’s sheepskin and suede mocs are so cozy, you won’t want to take them
off. With a molded- rubber outsole, you won’t have to. $100; uggaustralia.com
