Footwear looks like every day dress shoes but provides the comfort of slippers.
Chicago, IL — Office Slippers, a Chicago-based startup, has created the first slipper made especially for the office. The company has designed slippers that look like every day dress shoes, allowing individuals to wear them at work.
“Nowadays, entering the workforce typically means conforming to other employees and being uncomfortable while doing your job,” Mike McLaughlin, Office Slippers founder, said. “If you’re going to conform, at least you can be comfortable now. Office Slippers allows people the best of both worlds.”
McLaughlin has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for Office Slippers. The campaign seeks to raise $20,000 for the initial production, manufacturing, and distribution of their debut model, the Ashland. This suede model is based on a Chelsea Boot and comes in three colors: black, navy, and brown. The slipper components include a memory foam sole, dense plush inner lining, and a nonskid rubber outer sole.
The Kickstarter campaign will run until Thursday, April 11th, and backers can get a pair of Office Slippers for as little as $60. McLaughlin is working in conjunction with Los Angeles-based Shoemakers of L.A. and The Elite Fashion Group for production and manufacturing.
“We know that it’s a great idea, but this is the big moment. If we’re funded, we’re excited to see the ways in which we can transform offices,” McLaughlin said. “We hope to attract as many people as possible. We’ve got some really exciting incentives lined up for early backers, including grabbing these at a discount.”
