It was about 80 degrees outside, and I was at an outdoor food festival in Los Angeles for four fours. So I took them for a test drive on a day I knew I'd be on my feet for a while. I was a little hesitant at first because they are made of rubber-like EVA, and I wasn't sure how that would feel in the heat. Of the plenty of similar styles to choose from on Amazon, these were the best-sellers in their category.
So I went on Amazon and bought the Equick Rubber Cushioned Sandals-they were only $23, after all. While they were quirky, a little loud, and definitely not a style I'd typically be drawn to, I felt like I had to get them because they looked so comfortable. They had taken over my Instagram ads and TikTok feed to the point where I was seeing them every single day.

Recently, a certain pair of cloud-like slippers have been following me around. Crafting slides from premium grade leathers and suedes, feathers to using floral patterns, faux fur lining and regal pearls being attached or used as the main design behind slides.
The different designs and ideas that come from the designers are expansive. High fashion designers such as Prada, Nike, Gucci, Burberry, Walk London and Marc Jacobs have included them in their collection. įlip-flops are also widely used as a flyswatter because they are objects that are hard enough, flat and close at hand to be worn on the feet, and because of their flexibility they allow for striking blows to quickly kill insects without losing sight of them. Techniques include the parent throwing the slide at their children as a missile or projectile modality. In Latino and West Asian cultures, flip flops and slides are commonly used as corporal punishment by parents for disobedience or bad behavior, especially when there is recurrence (see also slippering). Another German company, Adidas invented the well-known Adilette pool slide. Across the world in Germany the brand Birkenstock created the first fitness slide, a simple design made from contoured cork with a single buckled leather strap. The popularity of slides in the United States started in the late 1960s, when vibrant, colorful aesthetics, such as cheery flower motifs, were followed. Though they are often thought to come from as far back as Ancient Egypt or Ancient Greece, but there is a lack of documentation to further prove that. Slides can be traced back to Ancient Rome. This happens because most people tend to tighten their toes to maintain better support and the pressure of the toes adds stress to the ankle area and the entire foot in general. Some studies show that frequent use seems to be the cause of a wide range of injuries and illnesses, such as cracks or fissures in the heels, plantar fasciitis, muscle inflammation or low back pain. Slippers can cause damage to the feet if they are made of sponges or materials on which sufficient checks have not been carried out, particularly if the wearer is allergic to certain types of fabrics. Slides are still designed to be light and comfortable, and to make the foot breathe easier when it's hot, just like flip flops. They are mainly used at the beach or at the swimming pool. They can be made with any type of material, from leather to fabric, through natural fibers to synthetic materials. Unlike slippers and mules, which are closed at the front, slide shoes are never closed at the front, they leave the toes visible and in the open air. Their uppers can be smooth and continuous or have fasteners, such as buckles or Velcro. They generally consist of a sole and a simple upper strap, the latter having the purpose of keeping them attached to the foot.
Slides do not have a “Y” shaped strap, like the flip-flop. The term is descriptive in that this shoe is easy to 'slide' on and off the foot when the wearer wants to do so. They usually include a single strap or a sequence of straps across the toes and the lower half of the foot to hold the shoe on the foot.
Slides can be high-heeled, flat-heeled or somewhere in between, and may cover nearly the entire foot from ankle to toe, or may have only one or two narrow straps.
