The casual silhouettes are lined with shearling details across the upper for a cozy feel during the colder months. There are three styles offered this season the Arizona shoe, the [Boston](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boston-felt-collection), and the [Daytona](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ross-chastain). The uppers and the insoles are lined with fuzzy materials and it all sits on top of a platform EVA outsole unit foundation to add some height to the silhouette. The Boston clog also joins the roster, paired with a big buckle and sitting on top of a chunky sole unit. All three shoes are made with Papoillio footbeds for a cushioned feel.
