Once upon a time (2016) slides were the fugly shoes of the moment, everyone from Rihanna to swimmers wore them almost religiously. Fast forward to the year that shall not be named (2o2o), and they are no longer as cool. But we should be staying at home a lot until we are blessed with a vaccine that works. So here are 5 reasons why you should invest in a good pair of slides:

1. They are comfortable, which is how most people want to feel at home. Usually the ones made in soft leather or rubber are even more comfortable and convenient since they can be easily cleaned.

2. They are super easy to put on, perfect for when you arrive home and take off the street shoes. Also, perfect if you’re going out to buy milk, and can’t be bothered with shoelaces.

3. They are very versatile. You can wear them on summer, spring, and add some socks when it’s cold and you are at home.

4. They are a very democratic piece, you can find them in every price point, style, and also on local retailers.

5. You probably already have it in your wardrobe. You might have bought one in 2016, that time you took swimming lessons, or you’re just a fellow fan of comfort.

But if you’re thinking about investing in a new pair, here are a few options.
