Getting the right fit can be tricky with no option for half sizes.
We wore them over a variety of terrains and found that the rubber outsole consistently provided a reliable grip.
While we loved everything about these slides, some people may find them too casual for evening wear.
These are the best-fitting slides weve ever worn.
They are best worn with socks in humid weather to avoid chafing.
The cork footbed comes with an integrated layer of latex foam for perfect, contoured cushioning.
Its virtually impossible to bend the EVA outsoles, which offer thick support without being heavy or cumbersome.
They make a noticeable slapping sound, which may be irritating for those that prefer a silent shoe.
They fit true to size just tighten or loosen the adjustable polyester jacquard straps as needed.
The non-marking ChacoGrip rubber outsoles were a particular highlight.
The shoes dry quickly too, making them ideal for trips to the beach or lake.
Choose from a range of single-tone and patterned colorways, all of which are vegan.
We were pleasantly surprised by how well the white sections of our test pair resisted scuff marks.
Their quality aesthetic is somewhat let down by cheap-looking buckles.
And the cushioned cork footbed made them comfortable to walk in for hours at a time.
The outsole is made of rugged EVA with a pronounced lug for excellent traction on wet and dry surfaces.
Color options include white, brown, and black.
If youre between sizes, size up.

With no half sizes, getting the correct fit can be a little hit and miss.
If youre headed to the beach, youll love the Crocs Womens Swiftwater Sandals.

Even with our sensitive skin that can beprone to blisters, we experienced zero discomfort.
The flexible straps conformed to our feet for a secure fit while remaining easy to slip on and off.
We were able to walk around all day without getting fatigued.
The only downside to the dual-density foam construction is that it can make your feet a little sweaty.
We struggled with this even when we wore socks, and even on days when we werent particularly active.
Nevertheless, the slides remained odor-free despite our concerns that the porous material might absorb sweat.
They are durable though, and ideally suited for indoor comfort.
Their relatively high price tag may not suit every budget.
Theyre breathable, flexible, and surprisingly supportive.
Just use a gentle cycle with cold water and leave them out to air dry.
They felt broken in on the first wear and we didnt experience any discomfort or pressure.
The EVA sole is reassuringly thick and protective, with ridges for good traction on multiple terrains.

Color choices include classic, sophisticated taupe, stone, black, and brown.
We found the shoes really lightweight, yet surprisingly durable.

Theyre better suited to narrow feet, though, and can be quite noisy.
The slides were worn at least two more times for a minimum of two hours each.
During the testing period, we considered which activities the slides were most suitable for.
Testing is ongoing and results will be updated periodically.
If youre headed somewhere more adventurous, durability and support are likely to be more important than trend-setting style.
Climate is a relevant consideration too.
Buying your shoes in advance of your trip also means youll have a chance to break your slides in.
The short answer is, of course, however you want.
Choose these if you want your slides to be able to transition seamlessly from day to evening wear.
Outsoles are best cleaned with a brush and warm water.
However you clean your slides, they should be air dried completely before being packed away.
We also consulted the professional opinion of California-based podiatrist Cory Clement, DPM.
