Slides are simple open backless sandals into which the foot just 'slides' under one wide band across the instep (hence the name). Unlike flip-flops, they have no strap between the toes, so they are more comfortable and spare. Slides are maximally relaxed summer and home footwear, made for comfort and speed. From purely utilitarian beach and pool sandals they turned into a fashion item too: sports brands and luxury houses release designer slides, sometimes chunky, on a platform or with logos. Slides are open backless sandals with one band across the instep, in which maximum ease and comfort combine with a modern fashion reading that turned simple beach sandals into a stylish item of the sporty and everyday wardrobe.
