Women's slaps
Features and benefits
Slippers are traditionally called shoes, consisting of a sole and a strap in the form of a letter Y, which passes through it and then is held between the second and big toes. The strap is fastened on both sides of the sole with special elements in the form of clips.
In Europe - France, Italy and Spain - these shoes are called "pantoletami." We have our own name, which has stuck perfectly in the fashion world, received light flips because of the characteristic sound that they make while walking.
Comfortable and indispensable as a summer shoe, slippers never go out of style. For many women, they can sometimes be almost the only shoe that you want to wear in the hottest time of year. If the temperature of the air on the thermometer is high in plus, protection against overheating and the necessary ventilation of the feet can be ensured by slippers that almost do not cover the foot.
Fashion models
There are types of slap with open and closed toe, on a flat and cork sole, on a stud and a platform. Conventionally, they can be divided into sports, beach and models for the street, everyday and evening.
With flowers
Particularly noteworthy decor for flip-flops. Most often, light models are decorated with large flowers and brooches, buckles and bows. Flip flops with flowers are the most popular varieties of summer slaps for the beach and resorts. The laconic the style, the less interwoven straps and the simpler the shape of the shoe, the brighter and more advantageous the decorative flowers from other material look on it.
Orthopedic
Inside orthopedic shoes, as a rule, special pads and rollers are laid, fixing the foot in a comfortable position. Soft depreciation of such slippers is also intended for cushioning - they should be as gentle as possible, with a comfortable insole made of natural material.
Flip flops
So called beach shoes, which still wear in the shower and sauna. For summer, slates remain the greatest hit of all times. The style is classic, but the sole may be thinner or denser. If you have to walk on pebbles or pebbles on the beach, it is better to purchase slates on a foamy and high sole.
The Vietnamese mount is fairly loose, allowing the foot to move inside the shoe. Therefore, it is advisable not to put them on in the city where steps of stairs or descents from a hill on an asphalt surface are waiting for you.
Massage and spiked
Massage called slippers, designed to easily affect the acupuncture points on the foot. It is believed that these are the nerve endings that are associated with all the important organs of the human body.
In order to make the necessary massage during the day, inside the slippers they stick soft and pleasant when touched “stones” made of polymer and silicone. Although for the first time such shoes appeared as sportswear in specialized stores, today slaps are more likely related to home or beach options. After a hard day, acupuncture massage will be of great benefit, although it is not recommended to go to them constantly, from morning to evening. And on the beach, the healing effect of bathing will be complemented by another effect - massage.
Foot massage slippers are made in most cases of rubber and polyurethane. Another common option for such shoes were slaps with spikes located along the entire inner surface. The spikes of flexible and soft material do not interfere with walking, perfectly coping with the task of massaging the foot.The top of the shoe, wide and tight, perfectly fixes the foot.
Through the finger
Flip flops with a thumb ring are called dianets. This characteristic element is often decorated with beads, rhinestones, metal decor. The ring keeps on the jumper connecting it to the sole. As a rule, Dianetts have a flat sole, but can be on a wedge heel or a low heel.
On the heel
Slaps on the heel, slightly springy when walking due to the instep, can be approached by ladies with high elevation of the foot and those women who have a slight degree of flatfoot. The heel blends beautifully with elegant and bright decor. Slippers completely without a backdrop, richly embroidered, with beads and ethnic patterns are reminiscent of fairy tales of the ancient East. Unusual and beautiful slippers are worn during the day, with interesting long sundresses and flying dresses.
Tractor-soled
If the sole is high and the top almost completely overlaps the foot, leaving the nose of the shoe slightly open or closed, you have a “sabot” or “mule” in front of you. The relief sole and the platform are beautifully combined with the bright colors of the top, made of leather or textiles. For walking around the city in the summer heat, such slippers fit optimally - they do not have straps that can rub feet or bump into them by the end of the day. At the same time, a high tractor outsole protects the foot from excessive heat exposure from heated asphalt, and the relief prevents slipping on uneven surfaces.
Sports
For long pedestrian walks, models on a “puff” or “blown” sole are intended. At the same time wide straps tightly cover the leg. In slaps with good leg fixation, it is quite possible to ride a bike, play ball and badminton. As a rule, sports slap straps are made of soft materials or textiles.
On the hairpin
Stiletto slippers are not only stylish and fashionable. The thin heel visually lengthens the legs and makes the walk more expressive.
High-quality bright or patent leather combined with a high stiletto adorn flip-flops, making them suitable shoes for informal evening wear. Such an attractive model is quite capable of replacing elegant open shoes in an ensemble with an evening dress.
Colors
Bright and joyful tones of flip-flops are produced in large numbers for beach holidays and walks along the promenade by the sea. Summer gives fashionistas the opportunity to flaunt such beautiful slaps as red and pink, iridescent and changing color. In the trend slippers non-standard color "electrician", with a lot of holes and a closed nose.
For everyday wear in an urban environment, slippers of neutral tones, brown and beige, are meant. They can make an ensemble with a dress of any color in a casual style.
White slippers do not go out of fashion. They are not only perfect for white clothing that repels the hot sun, but also sets off a beautiful summer tan. White slaps, decorated with golden stripes and decor, blend harmoniously with a light airy sundress. Gray-blue and blue models are more suitable for shorts and light denim dresses and soothing trousers.
Black and gold slippers have become a versatile shoe for evening exits. These colors are appropriate in the evening, in combination with an open jumpsuit or an elegant set with decor.
Materials
Stylish slippers are made of silicone rubber. polyurethane and nylon, textiles and knitted fabrics, as well as leather and nubuck.
- Silicone. These are lightweight and plastic beach slippers. They firmly occupied a stable niche in the wardrobe of modern fashionistas, replacing some annoying and more rough rubber. Silicone looks modern and beautiful, products from it are very colorful, are available in a variety of shades and styles.
- Textiles and vegetable fibers. Denim, knitted and lace - these appear as textile slippers for the summer season.Some models are made in ethnic style, decorated with embroidery, custom decor and rhinestones.

- Genuine leather and nubuck. Such slippers can without exaggeration be called an ideal option for summer in urban environments. Leather slippers keep their feet well, quickly taking the shape of the foot, they look rich.
How to choose
The choice of slippers, at first glance, is an easy task. However, such shoes, in which there is no back, should not, on the one hand, rub, and on the other - be too loose so that the foot does not “float” in it. What you should mainly pay attention to:
- Exact size. If the heel protrudes beyond the hem and even more “hangs down”, then slaps are not enough for you. In suitable slap heels, the heel should fully enter beyond the hem. It also protects your feet from accidental injuries. The same rule applies to the toes - they should not protrude beyond the edge of the shoe.
- Lifting height A flat model will give you a great inconvenience during the day, so it is better to choose slaps with a high lift, on a wedge heel or a very small heel. If you have a wide leg, do not get carried away with slender models with thin straps or high heels. The perfect pair for you will be slippers made of natural material with an orthopedic insole, on a low wedge or sole with a relief, with a minimum of details.
- Material and decorations. If you are going to wear flip-flops on the street, with an elegant dress or trousers, decorated models will suit you. It is quite another thing if the flip flops are designed for the beach. The less decor on them, the more comfortable you will be in them in hot weather. Leather, especially with holes, soft and thin, is considered the best material for slippers. Airy, cool leather slippers will not only sit on their feet well, but will last a long time.
Choosing a suitable style for yourself, do not forget about body type and height. Ankle straps will not fit ladies with full legs, because this style visually shortens them. On the contrary, low heels will help to visually increase growth.
What to wear
The only style in fashion that does not allow combinations of clothing with slippers - business and office. For everything else, they fit perfectly.
First of all, slaps put on with swimsuits and pareos. Carried on the beach, in water parks and swimming pools. Of course, extremely open shoes suggests the perfect condition of the nail plates and heels after a pedicure. For summer, dazzling with colors, choose a stylish pedicure, in which the colors and shades harmoniously combined with your shoes will be noticeable, fashionable this season.
