High-end Danish footwear company ECCO has announced two new silhouettes for the cold weather and remote work days ahead, the 'HYGGESOFT' sneaker and slipper, which are dubbed the 'Easy' and 'Street Tray.'
The versatile unisex designs are constructed from a durable nubuck leather that's made to stretch over the wearer's feet for all-day comfort and flexibility, and boast a double-faced fleece lining that will keep feet warm. Both variations are designed to feel like cozy slippers, however the ECCO Street Tray model is outfitted with the brand's TRAYTECH technology—giving it more stability and grip for outdoor use.
Both models are available for purchase from the brand's web store, and can also be found through participating ECCO retailers.
