Slides, flip-flops and one garden clog
The cheap end of the range and the part most people underrate. These are the shoes you spend four hours a day in, and going barefoot on tile instead is what makes heels hurt.
Everything in this group is moulded EVA foam: light, waterproof, and rinseable under a tap. The differences between the models are in the footbed and the closure, not the material.
The plain pillow slide has a flat bed and one wide band. The arch version uses the same 4.5 cm sole with a contoured footbed and a deeper heel cup, which is the one to pick if your feet complain in the morning. The double-buckle slide swaps the fixed band for two adjustable straps and a textured outsole. The flip-flop is a one-piece moulding with an arch up to 1.2 in and no thong plug to pull out. The clog is the only closed-toe shoe here, and the only one the maker says runs small.
Before you pick a colour
- Sizes are unisex ranges: the first number is the women's size, the second the men's.
- Contoured footbed if you have heel or arch pain; flat bed if you find an arch bump annoying.
- Keep all of it out of hot cars. EVA shrinks with heat and does not recover.
Pillow Slide
Thick EVA slide, unisex size ranges · 11 colours
Bright pink, the kind that reads as summer rather than pastel. Marks show less on it than on the white.
A deep purple that still works past August, which is more than most bright foam colours manage.
Rose red sits between the pink and a true red: warmer than one, softer than the other.
White foam looks new for about two weeks. Fine if these stay indoors, less so if they go out to a bin.
The pair to buy if you buy one. Black hides everything foam picks up off a floor.
Espresso brown, dark enough that the scuffing along the sole edge stops showing after a week.
Lilac, soft enough to pass as a neutral in a bathroom.
A clean mid blue and the most unisex of the brighter options.
Arch Support Slide
The pillow slide with an arch shaped into it · 6 colours
Blush over the contoured footbed, and the colour the listing prices highest in the model.
Deep brown, dark enough that the moulded arch reads as a shadow rather than a line.
The only saturated colour offered on the arch footbed.
Grey, and the one colour here carrying two sizes instead of a single pair.
Cloud Double-Buckle Slide
Two adjustable straps over a thick foam sole · 4 colours
Warm brown throughout, buckles included. No contrast hardware.
Grey reads more house-slipper than pool sandal, which is the point for some people.
Arch Support Flip-Flop
Contoured arch, one piece, 0.18 lb · 4 colours
Black hides beach dirt and goes with anything you would wear to a pool.
The brightest colour offered, and easy to find in a pile of shoes by a pool gate.
Garden Clog
Vented garden clog with a pivoting heel strap · 6 colours
Sand beige, and the only clog stocked in two sizes. Soil rinses off it without leaving a stain behind.
Dark brown on the men's size run. Garden dirt on it stays invisible until it dries.
Mid blue, men's sizing, and the one clog here making no attempt at a natural shade.
Black, men's sizing. The drainage ports read as part of the shell instead of a pattern across it.
