Nendo's Kayak Room Shoes are a quirky innovation built for comfort when walking around the home. These interesting slippers are made of quality materials to ensure a high-quality experience.

As their name eloquently states, these [room shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-footwear) are crafted in the form of a wooden ship. The curved soles mirror the bottom of a ship and fit comfortably along the bottom of the wearer's feet. Due to this premium fit, the wearer is given a much greater walking experience than they would be when wearing the usual flat footed [house slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/famichiki).

These slippers are made of [split leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amour-suede-shearling-bridges) as well as felt and are offered in the consumer's choice of blue, brown, gray, green, ivory or orange.
