Transforming Seasonal Footwear

The Deformation Slippers Fold From One Type of Shoe into Another

Whose shoe closet isn't completely overpopulated? It's rare and incredibly convenient when you can recognize a single pair of footwear that satisfies you over two seasons. The Deformation Slippers are such a set that transitions quite smoothly from indoor to outdoor and from winter into summer.

Designed by Jia Mengyin, Xu Kun, Qiao Song, Jin Na, and Hou Delin, these cozy loafers function as both house shoes and sandals. In the former form, the plushy material is pulled firmly over to create a closed-toe compartment for your cold tootsies. Should you be interested in wearing the Deformation Slippers outside, you'll want to modify them for the purposes of practicality and fashionableness. Pull the tips back and fold them over. The resultant two-tone open arrangement is much more acceptable in public, and it also allows your feet to breathe.
