HOKA just slipped into something more comfortable: The ultimate post-run slip-on sneaker.

As the name implies, HOKA's Restore TC Aerino slip-on is the ultimate easy-wearing sneaker, perfect for post-trail endeavors.

Now, obviously, HOKA knows a lot about running shoes, but the brand is no novice when it comes to recovery sneakers either.

The Restore TC Aerino shoe is made from a blend of merino wool, a breathable and odor-fighting material unsurprisingly made from merino sheep, that's specially woven with spandex and nylon to allow for much movement while still keeping the foot secure.

The moisture-wicking weave invites maximum airflow and temperature regulation while the HOKA Restor's classically beefy EVA insole keeps the sneaker comfy on feet. 

But the Restore TC Aerino slip-on also has "targeted stretch zones," which offer a more flexible fit and guarantee that HOKA's sleek-meets-thick sneaker will last longer.

Perfect for rest and recovery! The Restore TC Aerino also has all of the foot-catering goodness of HOKA's classic running shoes just with more ease-of-wear, thanks to the lack of laces. 

HOKA is no rookie when it comes to slip-on shoes and the brand’s casual shoe lore extends far beyond the Restore's legacy, which even includes a weirdo laced version.

For instance, HOKA's Ora Mule is a puffy slip-on with the geriatric aura of a trail shoe mixed with the comfort profile of a slipper, which generated quite a stir upon release. Big cozy things going on.

There's also the inimitable cool that comes with a Junya Watanabe co-sign.

Yes, the Japanese designer once brought his avant-garde finesse to HOKA's Ora Primo mule and swapped out the bungee-like lace system for interlinking silver chains. Fashion meets utterly elderly swag.

Of all of HOKA's slip-on shoes, though, the Restore TC Aerino, available on HOKA’s website for $120, maintains the running giant's signature maximalist running shoe steez the most — just sans laces.
