What you need to know
If you’re looking for a shoe that is convenient and comfortable, slides might be the show for you. Not only are they widely available these days, but have become increasingly popular. Here’s what we look for in a slide:
Material
Slides come in a variety of fabrics and materials: Suede, Rubber, Leather, Fabric, and Plastics. Which you purchase is based on your personal preference, coordination with your current wardrobe, and desired use. If you want one you can dress up, suede/leather/fabric might be the right choice. If you want to wear yours by the pool, perhaps rubber.
Comfort
We are living in a current window of time where comfort is prioritized when it comes to slides. Look for good arch support, enough room for your toes, and long enough to fit the foot. Different brands have different widths, so look for one that best fits your foot.
Look
Slides come in flats, wedges, and a variety of colors and designs. You can find designer brands like Gucci, practical brands like Crocs, sporty brands like Nike, and newer brands that pop up everyday.
