Given this unprecedented year we're having, I've found myself wearing comfortable, cozy shoes far more than I thought I would. Sometimes I stand in my closet and gaze longingly at my heels,

but then I remember that I'm wearing shoes that cradle my feet in fur, and I feel better. 

If you're reading this, you obviously love Uggs and Birkenstocks as much as I do. I didn't really realize the greatness of my love for them until 2020 hit and everything that called for heels and other fancy shoes was canceled. Now I'm president of the fan club for both cult-favorite brands. 

Perhaps given the season, I've noticed tons of very chic, very cozy shoes by these two brands as of late. And if you're in the market for a pair (or two), I want to help you choose. I've done lots of research on this topic and I'm here with my well-vetted recommendations. So let's get to it, shall we?
