The weather is getting warm, and we’re unzipping our winter boots and looking for more summer-ready sandals. While thongs have experienced a resurgence in popularity, the slide or slip-on shoe has always been its grown-up, more comfortable, and more elegant sister.
Slide and slip-on shoes are the lazy girl’s best friend. Whether you’re headed to the beach or just can’t be bothered fussing with the strap on your jelly sandals (onerous!!!), they’re a fast and chic way to get where you’re going.
What do we look for in a slide? In 2024, there will be plenty of options and it all depends on where you’re going. Whether you need traditional, water-resistant, anti-slip beach slides or some elegant slip-ons that will upgrade jeans and summer dresses for after-work cocktails, there’s something for you.
From luxury evening slides to practical slip-ons, we’ve rounded up some of our favourites.
The Best Slides And Slip-On Shoes In 2024
01
Birkenstock, Birko-Flor Regular Sandals
$184.00 at The Iconic
The classic Birkenstock is experiencing a resurgence thanks to the popularity of all things practical (and even ugly) in the footwear world. This patent black pair will dress up a pair of jeans and an oversized white shirt while still looking effortless.
02
Wittner, Elsa Ecru Multi Snake Print Leather Slide
$143.20 (usually $179.00) at Myer
With a square toe, snake-print leather upper, and micro 2cm heel, these elegant slides have us totally sold.
03
Givenchy, Marshmallow Logo-Debossed Leather Platform Slides $965.00 at Net-A-Porter
We’re obsessed with these chunky “marshmallow” platform slides from Givenchy. Charmingly Gorpcore, they have the comfort of a sneaker and the ease of a slide and will put a spring in your step year round (we can see them paired with chunky socks in winter). We can see ourselves in a neon green brat bikini and a sarong in these bad boys.
04
Gucci, Cut Out Leather Slides
$1,100 at Net-A-Porter
On the other end of the luxury spectrum, these delicate Gucci slides are beautifully flattering on the foot and are the perfect way to add a dose of relaxed elegance to a summer look.
05
Frankie4, Malone Bone Black Weave Sandal
$219.95 at David Jones
We love the raised platform and weave upper on these slides, which feature a dense triple-layer cushioned footbed for heel and arch support. Comfortable and classic.
06
ECCO, Cosmo Sandal
$139.97 (usually $199.95) at ECCO
The Nordic always nail comfort and style, and these slides from ECCO tick both boxes. Perfect for those whose arches suffer in traditional slides, the ECCO Cosmo has an ‘anatomically shaped’ footbed with a suede cover—translation? You’ll feel like you’re walking on clouds. Meanwhile, the leather Velcro straps allow for a close, adjustable fit, so you’ll never feel like you’re slipping and sliding.
