Parachute x Birkenstock’s Chic New Slippers Are the Only Footwear I’m Wearing All Fall

Personally, I never tire of summer — if I could, I’d make it warm and sunny everywhere year-round. But even I’m not immune to the excitement that the new fall season brings. From the moment the air assumes a crisper, fresher quality, I’m envisioning myself curled up on the sofa, while cookies bake in the oven. The right fall attire, specifically loungewear, is imperative when it comes to being cozy at home. You’ll want to make sure your feet are protected from the morning chill and cold floors, which is where Parachute’s newest offering comes in.

The brand behind some of our favorite bedding (also important for proper lounging) just released slippers in collaboration with Birkenstock. The Zermatt Premium slippers are actually a Birkenstock classic, but Parachute put its signature stylish flair on them, meaning they’re just as chic as they are comfy. The slippers will be available on Parachute’s site for a limited time, so be sure to stock up while you can!

If you’re not already familiar with Birkenstock’s Zermatt slipper, it’s a fan-favorite for many reasons. The brand’s signature cork latex makes up the bottom of the shoe, adding plenty of durability for the footwear you’ll never want to take off. The cork footbed also means you can wear the slippers indoors or outdoors, which will come in handy when fetching the mail or grabbing something from the garage. The exterior of the slipper is made of soft but equally durable suede, while the interior is lined with shearling, which will keep your feet warm without causing them to overheat.

As for colors, you can shop the slippers in Birkenstock’s preexisting Mink color, a timeless tan that’ll match just about any PJ set. They’re also available in one of Parachute’s popular hues: Thyme. If you happen to own any Thyme-colored bedding from the brand, this is your opportunity to match your loungewear to your bedspread!

It goes without saying that the Zermatt slippers are incredibly chic. Thanks to their indoor/outdoor design, you could wear them to the grocery store or on a dog walk without sacrificing style. But the most important thing about the slippers is that the comfort they provide is unmatched. Your feet will never catch a chill once encased inside the plush shearling, but they’ll have plenty of breathability, too. The cork footbed also provides support, so if you do choose to walk around in the Zermatt slippers all day, you won’t experience any aches. The suede exterior is velvety soft, so you will want to seal it with Birkenstock’s water and stain repellent. 

Of course, the Zermatt slippers would also make wonderful gifts for anyone on your holiday shopping list. They’re a serious upgrade from the cheap house shoes you can get from Amazon, for example, and they’re certainly pretty enough to impress your loved ones. Because this collab is limited-edition, you’ll want to stock up on as many pairs as you need ASAP. They’re bound to last far beyond the fall and winter season.
