Wearing shoes at the office isn't always comfortable, but going bare foot or wearing slippers isn't appropriate, but Office Slippers has been created to fill this void. The slippers look like everyday dress shoes that can be worn at the office.The initial prototype is based on a Chelsea Boot, and features a suede outer, memory foam insole, dense plush lining, and a rubber, non-skid sole.
Once funded, more styles will be rolling out. Office Slippers is currently going through its funding phase on Kickstarter, hoping to raise $20,000 USD in order to develop, manufacture, and ship Office Slippers worldwide. Its manufacturing partners are Shoemakers of L.A. & The Elite Fashion Group, two companies who have an incredible amount of background in shoemaking.
