Do you remember those rubber slippers you used to wear to lounge around in at home when you were in high school? Yes, the same ones that your mother won’t let you leave the house in. Actually, scratch that, you wouldn’t be caught dead in them in public! Ironically enough, those seem to be the most trending slippers this spring and summer. Solethreads understood the importance of wearing slippers out in the open and hence are now here with unique patterns which are fit for both indoors and outdoors. More commonly known as sliders, this slide on the shoe was initially made popular by Adidas, and it is now seen in every shoe store and on every girl’s foot.
So, why are sliders the most trendy types of footwear?
Sliders are essentially a pair of flip flops which are made out of rubber with a broad strap at the front half of the foot. But this sandal style is no longer just limited to rubber – Fendi decided to launch furry slides and those were a huuuuge hit. Keeping the fashion slides in mind, Gucci slides seem to be taking the internet by storm since they’re the most searched on Google. Gucci game strong! Some might say because they’re comfortable, easy to take off and on and they’re airy in summer. All true. But we all know that making a fashion trend go from runway to #trending requires a lot of famous people embracing it. Which brings us to an important point of research as well as the moment of proof – who wore sliders, where did they wear their favorite slide shoe and how amazing did he or she look?
