Pillow slides5/11/2023 ![]() That’s it! See you next week for another issue of Flavor of the Week! If you love it, send it to a friend. And as always, don’t leave these, or any shoe, in direct sun for a long time - they tend to warp. Be on the look out for Instagram ads that will serve you these exact slides for 3x the price. But there are a lot of the same vibe of sandal available. The specific ones I am linking are the exact ones I purchased so I can only speak to these. The caveat emptor: Some of the colors are on backorder, and there are a lot of dupes on Amazon. For a slide that looked so loud at first, I am surprised at how well they blend in with a casual summer look. They don’t squeak, smack or announce your arrival into the room. The foot bed is curved and hugs your foot so you’re not shuffling around in them - my biggest complaint about flip flops. They can be hosed down and washed with a little dish soap or even put in the dishwasher (though I haven’t tried the latter!). The platform is plush and roomy, even if you have wide feet. ![]() The goods: They’re quick to dry and quick to drain with a non-slip sole. Protect your toes from kicking the table! Who among us? I love how they are described on Amazon: The deep heel cup and concave vamp with roomy toe box wraps around the whole foot absorbing impact to protect your toes from kicking the table feet, threshold or stones. The gym! The spa! The perfect pedicure shoe. If you’re a pool person, they’re perfect for that. If you’re a beach goer, they’re perfect for that. For those with a narrow foot, you may find these specific slides to be too roomy. I am a true 10.5 and ordered the 10.5/11 women size and they fit great. That’s what it’s like to wear these Pillow Slides, which you can get for $20 on Amazon and in a ton of different colors. (I got Olive Green.) They are sized for unisex fit, and give a dual-size option. Now imagine walking around with those mats glued to your feet. Have you ever stood on one of those plush mats that they have behind the counters at restaurants and retail stores? They’re meant to help alleviate back pain and they really do work. Would this be the purchase to finally solve all of my problems? No, says my therapist before charging me $150, but I bought them anyway and so far no regrets.
