Sneaker-Inspired House Slippers

The Vans Slip-Er 2 is Built for Comfort and Durability

The Vans Slip-Er 2 house slipper is a new take on the classic at-home footwear style that will provide wearers with a way to enhance their comfort and coziness in a sneaker-inspired way. The slippers draw design inspiration from the brand's iconic slip-on shoe styles and are constructed with comfort-focused materials to make them perfect for lounging or working around the house. The all-terrain slipper style makes use of textile uppers along with a super soft foam, UltraCush sockliners and collapsible heels to allow for them to be worn in two different manners.

The Vans Slip-Er 2 house slipper is paired with a synthetic leather outsole wrap along with a Pro Vulc Lite construction, water-based glues and inks, and a blown rubber waffle outsole.
