The key to a good Father’s Day gift is finding something he’ll enjoy when he’s around you. May we suggest durable, comfortable footwear that’s equally sensible for walking the dog, watching the game, or manning the grill? This $120 pair from Mahabis Ltd., which former London lawyer Ankur Shah launched in 2014, have a durable rubber sole and a “collapsible heel” sculpted from stretchy neoprene. Crucially, the hidden lining is soft, fuzzy wool.
• L.L. Bean Inc.’s Wicked Good slippers ($89) come with a soft sheepskin suede exterior and an even softer shearling lining. There’s not much support for wearing them all day long, but they’re great for a weekend at the cabin.
