The 'sluffer' shoe is shaping up to be the hottest trend for 2022

Consider it a hybrid of your favorite slippers and puffer jacket.

If there's one thing we've come to prioritize in terms of fashion over the last two years, it's comfort. New Balance sneakers have become a replacement for high heels, warm puffy jackets have become more of a fashion statement than the clothes we wear underneath them and even Crocs have made a comeback.

So when we heard about the latest 2022 shoe trend — the "sluffer" shoe — we were more than excited to find out that comfort is continuing its takeover. From The North Face to Teva, some of our favorite brands are even getting in on the trend. The sluffer, a combination of the slipper and puffer trend, feels perfect for winter since it combines warmth and comfort all in one; but there are also styles that you can wear as we approach the warmer months.

Style expert Katie Sands stopped by the 3rd hour of TODAY to share all of the details about the fresh take on the "pillow shoe" trend and trendy styles that you can incorporate into your wardrobe right now.

Keep reading to shop sluffer shoes that you can work into your wardrobe throughout 2022.

Since these slippers are backless, they're a functional pick for anyone who can't get enough of the mule style.

Teva's eco-conscious sluffer is made with a 50 percent recycled EVA midsole and a 50 percent recycled rubber outsole. We're loving the elastic side panels that make it easy to slip on and off, which might come in handy for anyone who is always on the go.
