It's 9 °C this morning: clogs or booties? We ask ourselves every autumn day. Rather than guessing, here is our shoe thermometer, from 20 °C to –5 °C, so you know what to wear outdoors and at home.
The essentials
- Above 15 °C: sandals and clogs, barefoot.
- Between 8 and 15 °C: clogs with socks, outdoor slippers.
- Below 8 °C: faux-fur lining and a thick sole.
- At home, the floor temperature matters as much as the air temperature.
The thermometer, degree by degree
| Temperature | Outdoors | At home |
|---|---|---|
| 20 °C and above | Sandals, clogs barefoot | Light sandals |
| 15 to 19 °C | Clogs barefoot or with thin socks | Clogs |
| 10 to 14 °C | Clogs + ribbed socks | Clogs or light slippers |
| 5 to 9 °C | Lined clogs, outdoor slippers | Lined slippers |
| 0 to 4 °C | Lined booties + wool socks | Ankle-high lined slippers |
| Below 0 °C | Lined booties, short outings, dry ground | Lined slippers + thick rug |
20 °C and above: let your feet breathe
It's the season for the Ravello sandal, with two adjustable straps and a cork-effect sole, and for clogs worn barefoot. Vegan velvet doesn't stick to bare skin.
Between 10 and 19 °C: clog time
The Sienna clog is at its best at these temperatures: barefoot up to about 15 °C, then with ribbed socks. It's the typical autumn outfit, detailed in clogs and socks: how to wear them.
Between 5 and 9 °C: add a lining
Mornings get crisp. The Bormio lined clog keeps the clog shape with a plush lining up to the collar and a grippy sole for the pavement. The Alba outdoor slipper, closed at the back, is perfect for quick trips in and out.
Below 5 °C: time for lined booties
The Cortina booties, sherpa-lined up to the ankle, with a thick sole that insulates from the cold ground. Add thin wool socks. In rain or snow, keep outings short and let them air-dry: our tips in vegan velvet and rain.
At home: look at the floor, not the thermostat
A living room heated to 19 °C can hide tiles at 14 °C. That contact is what chills your feet. Simple rule: tiles or stone, lined slippers from autumn on; parquet or carpet, comfy clogs. The Merano slipper covers the foot up to the ankle for the coldest floors.
A pair for every level
With the Winter Trio (Merano, Alba, Cortina) at €79.99 instead of €119.97, you cover the home, quick outings and the deep cold.
