A microfiber lining means they’re soft with or without socks. From there, the slip-ons comfortably transport me from sitting at my desk to sitting at my bed to sitting on the couch to even sitting at the dining room table. When I wake up, I slide each foot into its insulated Moc, where a knitted collar gently secures each in its place. Sneakers? Camp shoes? Sleeping bags for your feet? All fair game, but unlike my jeans that never go on, my Teva Ember Mocs never come off. Still, calling them “slippers” may be reductive.
I’m not even wearing real pants right now. I’m showering on my lunch break, writing stories from the backyard, baking bread between phone calls and spending my weekends underneath my car methodically sniffing out all the small noises that I’ve been putting off silencing. Your days probably look quite a bit different right now. What was once regarded as a simple camp slipper has ascended the ranks to become one tester’s stay-at-home shoe of choice.
