What is the difference between slipons and other shoes?

The fashion for shoes does not stand still; it moves and develops over time, bringing new and fresh ideas into the world. Designers develop a lot of all sorts of unusual models, which, unfortunately, are not always convenient. But if the inconvenience of clothing can still be tolerated, then uncomfortable shoes can become a real disaster, creating unpleasant and even painful sensations while walking and provoking the formation of corns. Considering all these details, modern designers are increasingly trying to create shoes as comfortable and attractive as possible, which would be combined with both trouser images and some variants of dresses.

Slip-ons - a new trend in the world of shoe fashion, which is a sneaker without lacing with rubber soles. Slip-ons have a wide enough block and do not rub, unlike stiff shoes, which is especially important in the hot season, due to the fact that the legs can swell. Thanks to the thick rubber sole, which is very malleable and can bend well, the hyper-comfortable slipons provide good cushioning with asphalt, which helps reduce the strain on the legs and joints.

The dense fabric from which the upper part is made is also breathable enough and does not create excessive heat for the legs, which also has a beneficial effect on their health.

In general, it can be said that slip-on shoes are extremely positive and healthy in terms of footwear.

There is no significant difference between the models for women and men, since this type of shoe is universal. The main differences are only in color variations and sizes.

It is also worth noting that visually male slippers have a more elongated sock than female ones.

And among female models there is a variant of slip-on wedges that would be absolutely inappropriate in men's fashion.

Since slipons are a universal type of footwear, it is clear that they have numerous differences from other types of footwear. The purpose of the shoe and even the concept of creation may be similar, but differences still prevail. And so, let's take a closer look at what exactly these differences are.

The main difference between lofters and slipons is that the sole is a homogeneous, heel-free vulcanized rubber, and the sole of the lofters is made of denser rubber and has a small wide heel.

Slip-ons, although they have variations of leather models, are still most often made of fabric that is sometimes decorated in various ways or has prints. Loafers, in turn, are almost always made of leather, and one-colored, which can be decorated with an imitation of light scuffs and blackouts. In addition, a distinctive feature is the presence of leather tassels on lofers, which serve as a decor.

The first and most important difference, which visually immediately catches the eye, is that slip-ons are a variant of sports shoes, and sleepers belong to a more classic style and fit perfectly into the image with a classic suit. As with loafers, the sleepers have a small, wide heel, unlike the slipons with their rubber soles.

In addition, sleepers are most often made of velvet material, unlike slipons, which hardly have anything to do with velvet. The only similarity, in addition to consonant names, is the absence of lacing, both in some and in others.

As previously stated, the slipons do not have lacing, which is not the case with espadrilles, since in their case lacing and various other fasteners are possible. Some espadrilles have a wedge, and their sole is made of rather stiff rubber and decorated with a wicker edging, which also distinguishes them from slip-ons with rubber soles.

Slip-ons traditionally have a closed nose and heel, in the case of espadrilles, other options are possible - the heel or sock can be opened. Slip-ons can be made of leather, jeans, canvas, can have a rather tight lining, unlike espadrilles, which have almost no lining and are made entirely of thin breathable fabric.

The sneakers have a high wedge, about seven centimeters, which is completely uncharacteristic of slipons, whose wedge can reach a maximum of four centimeters and be uniform throughout the entire length of the foot.

Another distinctive feature is the absence of any fasteners, which can not be said about snickers that have velcro, most often three, arranged parallel to each other. In addition, a significant distinguishing feature is the presence of a large thick tongue in sneakers, which is located under the velcro inside and which is completely absent from the slipons.

Sneakers, perhaps, are the option where the differences are almost invisible, but rather they are practically absent. The main and perhaps the only difference is the presence of lacing in the case of sneakers and the lack of it in the slipons.

This also explains the fact that the shoe has a tongue and its absence in slipons.

The rest of the sneakers are exactly like slipons, they also have a rubber sole, can be traced from identical material and have identical prints.

Moccasins also have a number of differences from slipons, even purely visual ones. Slip-ons are made exclusively in the form of shoes, as previously stated, without lacing, moccasins can have lacing, and can also be made in the form of shoes, semi-closed slippers or even ballet shoes.

Slip-ons are decorated with elastic rubber inserts that do not have moccasins, but the latter, in turn, have as a decor a small neat seam around the sock.

In addition, moccasins and slip-on shoes are distinguished by a sole, in the first case it is much thinner than in the case of slip-ons.

The main difference is that slip-ons fit more in a sporty style, but it is worth noting that almost all presented models can also be combined with the same clothes as slip-ons. For example, moccasins, espadrilles, sleepers, and even sneakers will look great with jeans of any model. But slip-ons are not suitable for every thing that is compatible with these models of shoes. For example, they will not be out of place in combination with classical images, like sneakers. Therefore, it is worth to be more careful and correctly select the combination of clothes and shoes.
