The must-have $40 winter item from Target shoppers can't get enough of: 'I live in these'

Daily Mail​01-07-2025
Cosy clogs from Target have sent social media into a frenzy, after young Aussie mum Chloe Jackson, shared a now-viral video declaring them the 'perfect winter shoe'.
The women's Genuine Suede Leather Wool Lined Moulded Cork Clogs are proving that great quality footwear doesn't have to cost the earth, coming in at a humble $40.
Her video on the 'Naylah' brown pair has already racked up over 122,000 views on social media, with shoppers racing to stores nationwide to get their hands on a pair.
'They're so warm and comfortable,' Chloe told her followers. 'Take this as your sign to run, not walk to go and get them.'
Crafted from genuine suede leather, the clogs feature a rich chocolate brown upper (as well as a tan colour option), plush wool lining for extra warmth, and a moulded cork sole designed to hug the foot for maximum comfort.
The budget slides have been praised for their luxe look, high-end feel, and practicality, offering an on-trend alternative to far pricier brands on the market.
Available in women's sizes six to 11, the versatile clogs are ideal for both lounging at home and braving chilly school runs, and also come in a timeless style that pairs effortlessly with jeans, tracksuits, or winter loungewear.
In her now-trending video, Chloe admits she stumbled across the shoes by accident, spotting a full rack in-store and instantly recognising their potential.
'I don't know if I'm incredibly early or a little bit late to the trend,' she joked, 'but you need these shoes this winter.'
Fans were quick to agree and took no time to add their glowing reviews too.
'Can confirm these are great fur lined clogs. I wear mine around the house,' one wrote.
'These are the best. My current go-to!' another added.
'I have the Kmart version. But these ones look like an upgrade,' one noted.
With winter well and truly here, it's no surprise the clogs have become one of the season's most hyped-up buys.
Target shoppers are also racing into stores to get their hands on their real leather suede handbags too.
The budget retailer has dropped an $80 Premium Suede Leather Slouch Shoulder Bag that looks and feels a lot more expensive than it is.
'It's got the lining on the bottom. It's a beautiful chocolate colour. It's got the stitching detail. Are you kidding me Target?' she said, showing off the tag inside marked genuine suede leather', said TikToker Emma Vosti I her own video.
Even Aussie influencer Steph Claire Smith gave her tick of approval, commenting: 'That's a win.'
Suede is having a major moment this winter with loafers, jackets and bags all getting the retro, tactile treatment. But genuine suede usually comes at a hefty price.
'At Target, we're all about helping our customers feel confident – and that starts with pieces that feel just as good as they look,' Carrie Kirkman told FEMAIL, who holds the position of General Manager Merchandise & Marketing at Target Australia.
'Our new range of suede bags is a perfect example: they're on-trend, elevated, and effortlessly easy to style. All are at an accessible price point and made to last.'
Carrie even confirmed that this is just the first drop of leather stock to land in store and online, with more to come very soon.
Comparable pieces like Vestirsi's Sienna Suede Bag ($349) and Tony Bianco's Mily Suede Tote ($249) are at least triple the cost, we can see why Target's version is so popular.

Aussie sports star shocks as she flaunts her peachy bottom in very skimpy bikini during yacht party in Ibiza

Australian basketball star Liz Cambage left little to the imagination as she partied on a yacht in Ibiza on Tuesday. The 33-year-old shared an Instagram post during her trip including one video which saw her flaunting her peachy bottom in very skimpy bikini. In the video, Liz twerked towards the camera before turning around and shaking her hips from side to side. The basketball star flaunted her figure and pert derrière in a skimpy black bikini top and matching G-string bottoms. 'Unsure how 3 days in Ibiza turned in to 2 weeks but I'm not mad at it. Thank you @xtratheparty for having me on the island, and all my friends who make it the best time ever always,' she wrote. 'I'm back next week for my birthday and wild corner take over @hiibizaofficial for @domdolla !!!!!!' A four-time All-Star, Liz ended her basketball career in 2022 after mutually parting ways with the Sparks. She signed a one-year deal for $170,000 in February of that year before exploring other opportunities. The Australian center joined Maccabi Bnod Ashdod in Israel and her current team, SiChuan Yuanada. Additionally, she turned to OnlyFans, where her financial success went beyond her WNBA wages. Liz reportedly earned more in her first week on the platform than she did in all her years on the basketball court. According to the sports star, joining OnlyFans was not just a financial move but a way to express another side of herself. Her success on OnlyFans reignited conversations around the pay disparities in professional sports, particularly between the WNBA and NBA. Although she earned $221,450 in her highest-paying season, the gap in pay remains glaringly concerning. Liz now earns $1.5 million annually through OnlyFans as she continues to build her personal brand. She recently said that she is 'not closing any doors, but right now, I'm focusing on building something new.' In addition to her time with the Sparks, Liz was drafted by the Tulsa Shock in 2011 and also played for the Dallas Wings and Las Vegas Aces. She was the WNBA scoring leader and made the All-WNBA First Team in 2018. She also represented Australia and won a silver medal in the 2018 FIBA World Cup and a bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympics.

Mexican-American designer apologizes for Adidas sandal design accused of cultural appropriation

Mexican- American clothing designer Willy Chavarria has apologized for an Adidas sandal he created after being accused by Mexican authorities of 'cultural appropriation' for imitating an Indigenous shoe design. The design launched by Adidas, known as the Oaxaca Slip On, is a black sandal with braided leather straps attached to a chunky sports shoe sole. Mexican artisans and authorities say the intricate leather braids look strikingly similar to the traditional footwear known as huaraches made by the Zapotec Indigenous people in Oaxaca, produced mostly in the town of Villa Hidalgo Yalalag. They have accused the brand and Chavarria of 'cultural appropriation' and of copying the design without the permission of the Indigenous community. Authorities were quick to note that cultural Mexican designs have long been copied by major brands before, and said they planned to tighten laws to protect Mexican designs. Chavarria responded to mounting criticisms in comments sent to The Associated Press on Tuesday. In a statement addressed to the 'people of Oaxaca,' he said that the design was intended to 'to honor the powerful cultural and artistic spirit of Oaxaca and its creative communities — a place whose beauty and resistance have inspired me.' 'I am deeply sorry that the shoe was appropriated in this design and not developed in direct and meaningful partnership with the Oaxacan community,' Chavarria wrote. 'This falls short of the respect and collaborative approach that Oaxaca, the Zapotec community of Villa Hidalgo Yalalag, and its people deserve.' Chavarria is a Mexican-American designer, who has risen to fame for his designs exploring Chicano, or Mexican-American, culture, often mixing Mexican themes with American products. His designs include sweaters reading 'Chicano' in red, scripted font, and styles with the Mexican flag and cowboy hats reminiscent of northern Mexican culture. In recent months, Chavarria also was put in the spotlight for a show at Paris Fashion Week that was intended as criticism of the Trump administration's deportation policy. Chavarria's comments came days after Adidas made a public apology for the design, and in a statement said it was reaffirming 'our commitment to collaborate with Yalalag in a respectful dialogue that honors their cultural legacy.' Last week, in a letter to Oaxacan state officials, the company requested to sit down with local officials and to discuss how it can 'repair the damage' to Indigenous populations. 'Adidas recognizes and values the cultural richness of Mexico's Indigenous communities and the meaning of their artisanal heritage,' it wrote in a statement.

Sam Burgess reveals how Hollywood A-lister Russell Crowe lured him to the Rabbitohs - and it involves a prank call to Shane Warne and Leonardo DiCaprio

Sam Burgess had been 'hell-bent' on joining the Manly Sea Eagles. Under the stewardship of legendary coach Des Hasler, the Sea Eagles had gone on to win the 2008 premiership, having placed as a runner-up the year prior, before going on to win the flag again in 2011. The club was expanding and it was an attractive prospect for 'Slammin Sam' Burgess, who admitted he had been blowing up Hasler's phone with calls, even offering to play for the club for reduced fees. Multiple other clubs had been interested in snapping up the former Bradford Bulls star, who had his sights set on making a move Down Under to play in the NRL. But that's where Hollywood A-lister Russell Crowe stepped in. The Gladiator star and co-owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs had been over in the UK at the time filming Robin Hood and had heard through the grapevine that the now Warrington Wolves coach, Burgess, was making rumblings about a move to play rugby league in Australia. So Crowe got hold of Burgess' phone number and gave the footy star a quick call to see if he could tempt him to join the Bunnies. But speaking to cricket legends, David Lloyd, Sir Alastair Cook, Phil Tuffnell and Michael Vaughan on The Overlap and Betfair's Stick to Cricket show, Burgess revealed he actuall snubbed Crowe's phone call because he thought someone was prank calling him. 'We were playing down in Wales at the time,' he said to The Overlap and Betfair's Stick to Cricket show. 'I'm just getting a massage - you're not really supposed to have your phone on the massage beds - but I took the call because I was taking anything at the time. It was Russell Crowe on the phone! 'I thought someone was pranking me, so I hung up. I thought: 'I'm not paying a fine just for someone on a prank phone call'. 'Anyway, he rang me back a few times, I let it go through.' After Burgess got off the massage bed, the Bradford Bulls star finally answered one of the Gladiator star's phone calls. 'He said: 'It's Russell Crowe. I want to catch up with you, I want to meet you. Do you want to come play in Australia?' 'I said: 'Yes, I do.' He said: 'Okay then. I'm filming a movie in Derby, I'll be there next week, you want to come down?'' Burgess, who had spent three years at Bradford before finally moving to the Souths in 2010, agreed to come down and asked the Hollywood star if he could bring some friends along with him. Crowe, keen to get the England star on board, obliged. 'So, I took four of my mates down and we go to this fancy hotel in Derby - can't remember what it's called - that's where he was staying,' he told the cricket legends. 'We arrive and security's there - 'Name? Where are you from? Who are you seeing?' - Yes, come in. My mates are all walking in, looking at this establishment. We sit and have dinner - the cutlery's laid out perfectly. Burgess and his friends sat down for dinner with Crowe but the footy great revealed that rugby was not spoken about once during the meeting. 'We end up having a great feed, didn't talk one thing about rugby, but we got a little bit p***ed,' he explained. 'They start bringing out desserts - they had like gold spoons, real gold. So, my mates are ordering extra desserts, saying, 'Yeah, get me one more of them please,' and they're pocketing the spoons. We get in the car on the way home and they've all got two or three spoons each - 'We're killing it, boys!' 'We didn't have any conversations about rugby.' Instead, they opted to play a few pranks on some of the illustrious names in Crowe's phone book, including Leonardo DiCaprio and legendary Aussie cricketer Shane Warne. 'We were prank calling off Russell's phone - that's how the night finished up. We prank-called all these movie stars,' he said. 'We rang Leonardo DiCaprio. We rang Shane Warne - Warney, big mate. We rang a few other people. I'm thinking, this is amazing, how fun is this?' After the lavish dinner, Burgess explained he went down to meet Crowe again where they talked shop. 'A couple of days later, I went down, and we spoke a bit more about the opportunity to play in the NRL and my ambitions as a player - I was only 20 at the time. From that day on we've been great mates. 'He's been true to his word: 'There won't be a door in the world I can't open, you just gotta walk through them.' And he's just such a great bloke. Loves his cricket.' The rest is history, with Burgess going on to cement himself as a legend of the club, helping lift the Bunnies to win their first premiership in 43 years during the 2014 season. He would go on to make 176 appearances for the footy club across two spells, sandwiched between a stint in rugby union back in England. He would notably pick up the Clive Churchill medal during the Grand Final that year, after suffering a horror head collision with fellow Brit James Graham in the opening minute of the match. Burgess had fractured his cheekbone in the collision and could barely see out of his right eye. 'First tackle of the game, I clash heads with James Graham a great mate of mine and smash my face up,' he told the podcast. 'I had no option but to come off. South Sydney hadn't won for 43 years. We'd had a great season, worked our backsides off, and now we're here. 'The trainer comes out, I tell him I'm in a bad way - he says: 'Oh f***'.' Burgess revealed to the podcast that he tested out the injury to see if he could keep playing. 'One of my thoughts was: 'I'm not going to have a beer tonight, because my face will be out here.' But I thought: 'Let's see how far I can get before I have to leave the field'. Tried running, tackling - pain was manageable - so I stayed on. 'At half-time, the doctor wants to assess me. I say: 'Doc, all due respect, I want to sit and listen to the coach, stay connected to the team'. In the second half, my brother George misses a tackle. I give him a spray: 'You lazy b******, I'm here covering you with my face busted - you better make it up'. Next set he scores one of the greatest individual tries in a grand final. The footy great revealed he didn't go to hospital after the game, instead joining his team-mates to celebrate the huge victory.
