# Comfort-Focused Slipper Boots The Creators of UGG and HOKA Launched the KO-Z SNPR Slipper By Grace Mahas | Published 2020-11-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koz-snpr-slipper References: [deckersxlab](https://deckersxlab.com/collections/ko-z-women) & [deckersxlab](https://deckersxlab.com/collections/ko-z-men) The creators of [UGG](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erewhon-3) and [HOKA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaha-2-frost-moc) recently joined forces to launch the "ultimate work-from-home slipper boots," the KO-Z SNPR slipper. The comfort-focused inside shoe is available for both men and women in a range of colorways, with prices starting at $120. With consumers spending more time inside thanks to the changing weather and widespread remote work option, consumers aren't moving around as much as they typically did at the office. Thus, [Deckers X Lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xscape-nbk-20) (the innovation department of Deckers and owners of HOKA and UGG) created a performance slipper that effortlessly transitions from home to walks or casual outings, encouraging consumers to take movement breaks whenever possible. This helps improve posture and circulation, helping consumers live a healthy lifestyle, despite the "new normal." The KO-Z SNPR slipper "pushes the boundaries of materials and purpose" and boasts an anatomic, gender-specific width designed for performance. The EcoTan TwinFace sheepskin and EcoTan cow suede with a 10mm wool interior and the outer layer features a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent treatment. Moreover, the slipper boot boasts an ultra-light and ultra-wide 3mm sponge rubber outsole with Meta-Rocker geometry, offering an uptempo and propulsive ride. Lastly, he Xponent Midsole featuring multilayer CM EVA Foam with gradient density offers "the softest cushion closest to your feet."
