Browsing the footwear collection on Complex, you’ll find gems like a shearling Birkenstocks and UGGs for pure warmth, a Vibram-equipped Crocs Tembo II and a North Face Thermoball mule for traction and all-day tech, and SUBU’s insulated slippers for the days you would rather not leave the house. Here are the comfiest shoes to carry you through winter, available now on Complex.

Nike Air Max Metro Black/Photo Blue-Illusion Green

The Air Max Metro arrived in Fall 2026 as a retro-inspired addition to Nike's Air Max line, and this Black/Photo Blue-Illusion Green pair was one of its launch colorways. The build puts a full-length Nike Air unit between layers of Cushlon 3.0 foam, which Nike describes as comfortable and responsive. That combination is the reason this one belongs in a winter rotation built around all-day wear.

Birkenstock Boston Shearling Clog - Suede/Taupe/Sandcastle

Price: $180

Birkenstock's Boston clog gets a cold-weather build here, with natural lambskin lining both the footbed and the strap. The suede upper sits under an adjustable buckle strap across the midfoot, which lets the fit open up over a thick winter sock. A cork midsole at the heel feeds into a black rubber outsole finished with a lightly textured waffle tread. The Suede/Taupe/Sandcastle treatment keeps the whole thing in muted neutral tones.

UGG Classic Ultra Mini - Dusted Cocoa

Price: $165
How To Buy: Shop Footwear → UGG Classic Ultra Mini - Dusted Cocoa on Complex

UGG built its name on the Classic Boot, and the Ultra Mini is that silhouette cut down to its shortest form. The shaft stops just above the ankle bone, sitting far lower than the standard version while keeping the signature UGG sheepskin inside. The sole is flexible and ultra-lightweight, which is what makes the on-and-off wear so easy. Dusted Cocoa puts the whole thing in a soft brown finish.

OM NEW YORK CMPLX CAMO Clogs

Price: $90
How To Buy: Shop Footwear → OM NEW YORK CMPLX CAMO Clogs on Complex

OM NEW YORK made a camo version of its classic bone clog for ComplexCon 2026, where it released as a show exclusive. Desert camo canvas covers the upper, and the slip-on build keeps the brand's cork footbed underneath. Branding is handled by two small metal charms, an "O" and an "M," set on the top of opposite feet, one letter per shoe.

CROCS Tembo II RO - Black

Price: $100
How To Buy: Shop Footwear → CROCS Tembo II RO - Black on Complex

Crocs built its identity on molded Croslite clogs, and the Tembo II RO keeps that language intact through a fully molded upper carrying the brand's all-over dot pattern. Where it departs is the cold-weather hardware. A warm Polartec inner bootie lines the slip-on, and it pulls out entirely, so the outer shell can be worn on its own in wet conditions. Underfoot, a Vibram rubber outsole handles grip and wear.

SUBU Fall & Winter Concept Slippers - Pink

Price: $79
How To Buy: Shop Footwear → SUBU Fall & Winter Concept Slippers - Pink on Complex

SUBU's Fall & Winter Concept slipper borrows its construction from puffer outerwear. The nylon upper carries a water-resistant Teflon coating over polyester down fill, quilted into roughly six parallel diagonal channels that give the pink finish a puffed, segmented texture. A four-layer cushioned insole sits above a synthetic rubber sole. The silhouette is an open-back mule with no heel counter, so the back of the foot stays unstructured.

The North Face Basecamp ThermoBall Mule - Dark Chestnut

Price: $100
How To Buy: Shop Footwear → The North Face Basecamp ThermoBall Mule - Dark Chestnut on Complex

The North Face has outfitted cold-weather expeditions for decades, and the Basecamp ThermoBall Mule routes that insulation technology into an open-back slip-on. THERMOBALL fill lines the upper, and a water-repellent coating covers the outside to hold off the elements. Beneath the chunky sole unit sits Vibram XS Trek rubber, a compound built to balance traction with durability. Dark Chestnut renders it in a deep brown.
