What is a slide sandal?

A slide sandal is an open shoe, without a heel, with a wide strap that holds the foot on top. Unlike sandals or flip-flops, slide sandals are usually a single piece and slip on in one motion.

They are often made of plastic, EVA, or foam to offer lightness, flexibility, and comfort. Today, you can also find them in leather, synthetic fur, fabric, or recycled materials.


Different types of slide sandals

  • Pool slides: non-slip, lightweight, and water-resistant.
  • Sport slides: comfortable, with a thick sole, often worn after exercise.
  • Furry slides: ideal for winter or for home use.
  • Fashion slides: trendy design, flashy colors, sometimes with a platform.
