This is how creatives are wearing the slip-on shoe far beyond the outdoors.

While Sorel has long been a go-to for heavy-duty winter boots, their latest shoes are built for so much more than cold-weather survival. This season, New Yorkers are styling the Sorel Ambler Clog in unexpected ways—proving they aren’t just made for heavy terrain, but also for coffee runs, Soho shopping trips, and post-Pilates matcha dates. Ahead are five distinct ways to style a cool, comfortable shoe on the days when you want to look effortlessly put-together without reaching for heels or flats that give you blisters.
Fashion moves in the street before it moves online, and we're there to document it. Our team has boots on the ground in the coolest places around the world, tracking what people are actually wearing. Real people, real outfits. That's what makes OOTD.com the go-to source for outfit inspiration.
Long, oversized shorts are having a major moment in New York street style, and the chunky silhouette of the Ambler clog balances those loose proportions perfectly. Henry pairs camo cargo jorts with a crisp white tee, a light RL sweater tossed over his shoulders, and Camo Ambler Clogs to match his shorts. Samantha wears low-rise washed black denim jorts, a fitted taupe baby tee, and the Stone Green Clogs. Meanwhile, Siobhan takes a monochrome approach, sitting on a stoop in cream linen shorts, tiny white tank, and the classic Caribou-Buff Clogs. She accessorizes the shoes perfectly by adding a cream shoulder bag and a big boho belt.
When you're spending an afternoon walking between boutiques in Soho, a comfortable shoe that still looks stylish is non-negotiable. Chris leans into relaxed prep by pairing dark-wash wide-leg denim with a chambray button-down, a red sweater knotted around his neck, and Caribou-Buff Amblers. Maddie keeps things airy in wide-leg cream drawstring trousers, a white ribbed tank top, and classic Caribou Clogs. Glo styles straight-leg black jeans, a white crop top, a black silk headscarf, and Black Clogs for a sleek downtown look.
The Sorel Ambler is easily the ultimate slip-on shoe post-workout—especially when your feet need a break after a high-intensity session. Jordan styles her Tea Buff Amblers with bold royal blue shorts, a sheer white long-sleeve tee, and oval sunnies, choosing to grab an iced matcha and unwind with a book right after a brutal BodyRok class. Meanwhile, Ashley steps off the stoop wearing the classic Caribou Buff Amblers paired with a neutral beige matching workout set, a slicked-back ponytail, and a nude hoodie slung over her shoulders.
For quick morning coffee runs or the weekly laundry runs, slipping on a pair of clogs and loungewear is my go-to outfit choice. They're also a lifesaver for those random, unpredictable summer rainstorms in the city. Viktoriya pairs a slouchy navy-and-white striped long-sleeve tee and white cotton shorts with Salt Pink Ambler Clogs and white socks, adding the perfect touch of color. Rena keeps it monochromatic in a beige cable-knit short-sleeve top, matching sweatshorts, and Black and Stone Clogs.
Whether you’re pairing them with slouchy jorts or throwing them on post-workout with biker shorts, the Sorel Ambler Clog is proving to be the perfect off-duty shoe for city life.
