Easy to wear, they caught fashionable girls’ eyes a couple of seasons ago and now they’re back in force featuring in many collections. They’ve moved beyond the beach and poolside, heading to the streets and, to the horror of some, they can even be spotted on nights out. Wherever you wear them, a pair of smart sliders can revamp your look for a slick and snazzy result. According to Wikipedia, a slide is a form of footwear similar to flip-flops; they are backless and open-toed. They can be highheeled or flat-heeled and may cover nearly the entire foot from ankle to toe. The most common type is made of a rubber sole and one large strap that covers the lower half of the foot up to the beginning of the toes.
