SLIP-ONS

Slip-ons are light footwear without fastenings or laces, into which the foot just 'slips' thanks to elastic gussets on the sides. The classic slip-on is a low canvas plimsoll on a flat rubber sole (the style was made famous by the Vans brand, becoming an icon of 1970s–80s skate culture). The chief appeal of slip-ons is comfort and speed: they are put on with one movement, are light, relaxed and comfortable. Slip-ons come in textile, leather, suede, in a multitude of colours and prints (the classic being the Vans black-and-white checkerboard). It is ideal everyday, summer and city footwear. Slip-ons are light lace-free footwear with elastic gussets, in which maximum comfort and speed of putting on combine with a relaxed, sporty-skater character that makes them ideal everyday and summer footwear.
