The concept of slip-ons came to us from America and is translated as slip on shoes, which means putting on shoes. Moreover, in Russia this name is given only to sports sneakers that do not have lacing. They were first released in 1977 by Vans, whose founder was Paul Van Doren.
In appearance, these shoes resemble moccasins, loafers, slippers and some other shoes. At first, slip-ons were made specifically for male surfers, but then, thanks to the popular film starring Sean Penn, these shoes began to be worn by American and European youth in the 80s of the twentieth century.
In the last two years, slip-ons are back in trend, but this time all over the world. They differ from moccasins, loafers and other low-heeled shoes in that they are made of canvas, and the sole consists entirely of rubber, like sneakers.
Modern technology allows the appearance of shoes to be made so interesting and varied that it satisfies the tastes of all ages and segments of the population.
If previously slip-ons had a monochromatic surface or consisted of a black and white checkerboard, now the shoe designs are varied. They start with an animal print and end with floral, plant and other designs.
What accounts for the popularity of slip-ons among women?
From the very beginning, these comfortable shoes were the prerogative of men, but now women's love for them can be quite naturally explained. For the first time, slip-ons with brighter colors especially for women were created by the same designer.
But today women have to lead an active lifestyle, move a lot, stand on their feet all day, so high-heeled shoes are worn on special occasions. Increasingly, it has become noticeable on the streets that the main women's shoes are ballet flats, moccasins, slip-ons and other low-heeled shoes.
The popularity of slip-ons among women is primarily due to the fact that they are light, comfortable, and have a soft sole. And one of the main reasons women love them is that they are easy to put on and can be thrown into an automatic washing machine, put on the “cotton” cycle and in an hour they will be as good as new.
Paul Van Doren's original plan was to produce lightweight canvas shoes that fit easily on bare feet. For this purpose, special elastic bands in the form of triangles were sewn inside the model. In addition, they fitted the leg tightly and beautifully, and in the summer it was not hot at all in them, the leg moved freely and did not sweat.
Types of women's slip-ons, who they are suitable for and how to choose the right one
In general, slip-ons are considered sports shoes, but thanks to designers they can look different. There are models that resemble men's shoes, but most of them come in romantic prints that go with dresses and suits.
Female models are:
- On a thick sole or platform;
- On a thin sole;
- With laces, rhinestones and so on.
Women's slip-ons with thick soles are most popular not only among slender girls, but also among ladies with curvy figures. The comfortable model allows women with wide feet and high insteps to easily put on this type of shoe. The sole is made of rubber or rope, with rubber being the most popular.
Models with thin soles are less conspicuous and, compared to models with thick soles, more comfortable. They are worn more with jeans and other trousers. For slender girls, it is quite possible to combine them with a miniskirt or dress.
Although slip-ons are considered shoes without laces, recently they have been released with them. The fact is that the laces perform only a decorative function. They are simply attached to the surface of the shoe for beauty and this does not make it any less comfortable.
In addition to laces, designers also use rhinestones, spikes, buttons and various designs.
If the slip-ons have laces, this does not mean that you should only wear them on hikes, since they resemble sneakers. On the contrary, white, black and beige slip-ons with appropriate lacing are suitable for both the office and the place of work where there is a strict dress code.
What to wear with women's slip-ons
Slip-ons are universal shoes, so they can be combined with a tracksuit, jeans, a skirt of various lengths, and even a romantic dress.
The older generation also likes them, but so that they don’t look ridiculous on their feet, they should choose the right model that would ideally suit their foot type and not make a mistake with the colors.
In the summer, the image of a girl with skinny jeans and a T-shirt is drawn, on whose feet classic canvas slip-ons without any decorations, as well as models with a bright pattern, would be appropriate. The design can be anything from checkered, polka dots, stripes, to flowers or leopard print.
Fashion houses such as Givenchy prefer snake print, and such a popular company as Lacoste always puts its logo in the form of a crocodile.
For women working in the office, discreet colors of slip-ons are suitable; they go well with both short and long skirts. Still, you shouldn’t wear them under a formal suit. The only thing is that a business woman can take them with her in case she has to go on business to a construction site or on another trip.
What to wear with women's denim slip-ons? Nowadays it is fashionable to roll up jeans so that the ankle is visible, so this model fits perfectly under trousers. The decor of slip-ons can be different, from a denim surface to animalistic patterns. 
Leather and fabric slip-ons are ideal for women with a light tan, and the floral print will decorate a woman of any age and will suit any outfit. It is desirable that the flower pattern be large in size.
If a fashionista prefers a sporty dress, then she should pair it with slip-ons with high soles. And for a romantic dress, it is better to choose more delicate, plain or softly colored slip-ons with low soles. It is also advisable to choose these shoes in combination with jewelry; such an outfit will look great not only on slender girls, but also on ladies of Balzac’s age.
Women's slip-ons look stylish with overalls and shirt dresses.
What should you not wear them with?
Despite its popularity and love from not only women, but also men and children, there are still some standards in the world that must involuntarily be adhered to.
Still, you shouldn’t wear slip-ons with a business suit. These trousers have creases that go perfectly with heels, but sports shoes would be inappropriate here.
You should not wear slip-ons with a little black dress, which was invented for all times for all women. In this case, low-heeled shoes or ballet flats would look appropriate, but not a sports model. The sheath dress has become popular due to the dress code that exists in many corporate events, so wearing slip-ons to work in this form is ridiculous.
Women's slip-ons should not be worn with open evening dresses. It will be even more absurd than with a sheath dress. Sports shoes, despite their popularity and adaptation to urban style, are not intended for special occasions.
In the cold season, wearing slip-ons with coats and fur coats is not only ugly and funny, but also inappropriate. In addition to the fact that the owner of the shoes will look strange in a fur coat with sports summer shoes, she will also freeze and may get sick.
Apart from these cases, there are probably no other looks with which slip-ons cannot be worn; in fact, they are universal.
Which slip-ons are trending now?
Modern designers don’t produce any kind of women’s slip-ons. Models designed to be worn during the cold season are becoming increasingly popular. You won’t surprise anyone with slip-ons trimmed with fur or genuine leather.
The trend of the summer season is these shoes with laces. At first glance, it seems that it is impossible to combine these two concepts, but it is the combination of a casual sporty style with delicate lace that makes heads turn not only for young fashionistas, but also for their boyfriends.
Moreover, these models contain real lace, not imitation. All this provides the owner of the shoes with additional ease of wearing and provides ventilation for feet that are tired throughout the day.
Women's slip-ons with original prints are in fashion this season. Models with abstract designs or cartoon characters have become more common. Designers seem to deliberately combine adult and children's themes.
Two themes are relevant: either a very bright pattern, or pastel colors such as pink, gray, blue, light denim and so on.
In demi-season slip-ons, the creators have recently replaced the traditional white sole with a colored one, which does not prevent the shoes from looking stylish and appropriate.
That's it, now you know what to wear with women's slip-ons. Therefore, choose the right look for yourself and you can be sure that you look stylish.
In the next video there are more options for bows with slip-ons.
Fashion is becoming more and more democratic and we can already afford to wear sports-style shoes under a dress or skirt. This article is about what to wear with slip-ons (women's) and how to create looks with them.
A little history
Slip-ons(or slips) are lightweight sneakers with rubber soles without laces. This model is very comfortable, it is very easy to put on (this is where their name in English comes from “slip on” - “put on”).
Paul Van Doren is rightfully considered the creator (he founded the vans company). The period when Paul came up with this model is 1977. The most interesting thing is that sneakers without laces were originally developed for surfing. However, in the early 80s they began to gain popularity among fashionistas.
Today they are still in trend and are not going to disappear from the fashion pedestal for a long time. Global fashion brands such as Prada, Lanvin, Saint Laurent, Mother of Pearl, Givenchy, etc. today are actively releasing their variations.
The advantage of this shoe is that it is suitable for those with high arches or narrow feet.
What kinds of slip-ons are there?
Traditionally, they are made of canvas or thick cotton, but modern designers use a wider range of materials and decor (fur, leather, denim). Black slip-ons with thick rubber white soles, with bright color or black and white prints are especially popular. 
- Plain. Simple, classic, plain, without unnecessary decoration. This option is suitable as a basic one that will harmonize with many things; in this case, it is better to choose a neutral color: black, white, gray, beige, burgundy or dark blue.
- With print. Today, the print can be anything: geometric, ethnic, animal (leopard), abstract, complex designs, patterns. In any case, such shoes look very “active” and attract attention, so they can subjugate the color scheme of your entire outfit.
- Platform slip-ons. The platform can be a fairly decent size of 5-7 cm. This is comfortable and will make you a little taller. Although they look a little heavy, especially on short, slender girls.
- With decor. Typically, slip-ons are decorated with rhinestones, sequins, sparkles, beads, chains, metal inserts and even whole crystals. On the one hand, the shoes are very elegant, but on the other, they still retain their sporty style and comfort. With the help of such contrast you can create very original elegant looks.
- Combined. Such models most often combine two or more different materials (pictured). Materials may differ in pattern (a combination of printed and plain fabrics), in texture (metal toe and eco-leather, or leather and lace, or plain smooth material plus textured leather).
The choice of model will depend on where and what you will wear it with, so before you settle on some original option, think about how it will be combined with things that you already have.
How to choose
Slip-ons should blend harmoniously into your wardrobe in color and appearance. Before purchasing, think about what clothes will go with them. The simpler the color (plain, monochrome), the easier it will be to combine shoes with your things. The most universal shades are basic black, white, gray, beige, powder, denim.
A high-quality model should be carefully sewn, without protruding threads. The seams are strong, the sole is flexible and well connected to the upper.
How to wear slip-ons
- Usually slips are worn WITHOUT socks, but in the summer, when it is very hot, it will not be entirely hygienic and you can wear inconspicuous nylon footwear or, on the contrary, choose short socks to match the top. You can also choose colored ones if they are intended to support the accent in the outfit.
- Can it be worn with tights? Yes, sure. Flesh nylon tights are quite suitable in the warm season; in cool weather, thicker, warmer ones are also suitable. If you have a bright model, then you can choose tights to match her; if they have a print, then match one of the colors of the print.
- Should not be used with classic suits, ties and blouses.
What to wear with slip-ons - photo
+ Jeans
Slip-ons with jeans is the first combination option that immediately comes to mind. Or (tucked up), as well as skinny or straight ones look especially good. Popular colors combine with denim: black, red, blue, leopard, with print.
On top you can wear a T-shirt, shirt, tank top, top and biker jacket (leather jacket), blazer, long vest or sleeveless jacket, parka, light coat - you get an excellent outfit in the style of street fashion (pictured).
Accessories will help complete the look, for example, a leather handbag on a chain or thin strap, or a backpack (pictured).
+ Non-classical trousers
Why non-classical? You can create a set using classic trousers. However, for such an outfit to look stylish and harmonious, you need to try to combine things into a coherent composition.
You can wear slip-ons with black skinny trousers (tapered), loose-fitting, straight, with various pleats or wraps. Even bloomers or leggings, sports knitted models are suitable.
Shortened styles look great with these shoes. If you don’t have such trousers, you can simply roll them up.
- Jumper, oversized sweater, turtleneck.
- Silk top and mid-thigh jacket.
- Striped T-shirt and beige raincoat (trench coat).
- Checkered, denim or white shirt. On top of it - a thin jumper, a jacket to match the trousers or a biker jacket.
For brave lovers of stylish experiments, we recommend trying this set with an office suit.
+ Jumpsuits
Slip-ons look good with overalls (especially). Both classic models with long legs and shorts or completely closed ones are suitable. 
Light textile overalls (long or short) made of cotton, linen, natural silk will also go well with such shoes. The jumpsuit can be plain, with a print (floral, geometric, animalistic), pattern (stripe, check, polka dots) or pattern.
+ Skirts
Slip-on shoes with a skirt are perhaps one of the most popular outfits. Lightweight sneakers without laces go well with many models. Thanks to their simple, laconic shape, blurred style frames (this is to some extent a sporty and casual style, and sometimes a little classic, chic), they can be worn with short skirts, midi (medium length) or maxi (floor-length). I couldn't even resist them. 
On top you can wear a top, blouse, shirt or jumper. Sports-style jackets or a leather biker jacket can complement and highlight your outfit.
With a short skirt
When composing your look, keep in mind that these are not shoes with heels, but lighter, sportier ones, and your outfit should interact harmoniously with them. Current styles include straight, pleated, wraparound, fringed, printed, denim, suede, leather, fluffy.
With a mid-length skirt (Midi)
To create a stylish look, choose “sports slippers” to match your skirt or top. Just remember that these shoes give the whole look a more informal and sporty touch.
The pencil style can be made from knitted fabric, eco-leather, thick textiles, or suiting fabric. For the top in this set, a turtleneck, a sweater, a sweatshirt, a cotton shirt and a jacket are suitable.
The photo shows an interesting look: a black turtleneck, a red knee-length pencil skirt, a handbag on a chain and leopard print slip-ons.
With a long skirt
Here it should be borne in mind that it is best to choose a skirt in a sporty style, for example, from knitted fabric.
Styles made from light fabrics (chiffon, silk, organza, lace) can also be used to create an outfit. 
With printed
Any printed item attracts attention and becomes the main accent, so shoes should only emphasize and strengthen this accent. A checkered, striped or original patterned item will add a touch of personality to your set.
+ Shorts
A great choice for summer is slip-ons with shorts. Looks especially good with denim shorts. The simplicity of denim allows you to “play” with different colors and prints on your “slippers.”
A more formal look will be achieved with black shorts (textile, leather).
It is better to choose the color of the slip-ons to match one of the shades of the print on the clothes.
- With denim shorts
A T-shirt, tank top or top is perfect as a top.
- Dark shorts
As a set, they look laconic and stylish. Black slip-ons with white soles are especially relevant for such sets. If you make up the top from black and white items, then such a look will look holistic and original.
- Printed
These shorts look expressive, and comfortable and modern shoes will be an excellent addition to them. The shade of the “sneakers” can be matched to the top (solid color) or to one of the colors of the print.
+ Dresses
Universal everyday sets, for walking, relaxing, can be combined with a dress and slips. For example, with a shirt dress, because these things have a simple, laconic shape, they coexist perfectly next to each other, creating a relaxed, comfortable outfit.
The dress can be loose or fitted (fitted to the figure, with a pronounced waist), long or short, with sleeves of different lengths, with or without a belt.
Shirt dress
In this set, our shoes look perfect, emphasizing the lightness and sportiness of the look. Denim, cotton, linen, viscose, poplin are relevant for making sets.
With a black dress
A universal solution is plain charcoal, white or black-and-white patterned sneakers without laces.
In light colors
Milky, snow-white, light gray, pink, yellow, peach, blue, lilac, mint dresses are accentuated by slips.
Plain bright
Choose shoes in a neutral base shade that matches or contrasts with the dress. The simplicity of the style will further emphasize the rich color.
Graphic print
A successful look is a combination with black or white sneakers.
Try combining this dress with slip-ons in other more expressive shades, for example, blue, yellow, red.
Bright drawing
If such a print is on a dress, then the “slippers” should only emphasize it without distracting attention, otherwise things will begin to “argue” with each other. Discreet anthracite, milky, gray, nude are suitable as colors for shoes under a bright dress.
Also, plain options to match one of the colors of the print on the dress will also be appropriate.
By color and type
So, what is the best way to wear slip-ons of different colors and types (see photo).
- On the platform. No different in combination from slips with lower soles. It goes well with skinny pants, jeans and skirts. And this model is also relevant in rainy weather.
- Black. This is probably the most common color. Not surprising, because it is the most versatile. They go perfectly with any outfit.
- White. Snow-white, milky - it’s elegant. When choosing this color, remember that you will have to constantly monitor the cleanliness of the “slippers” so that they look good. The color harmonizes perfectly with blue, dark blue, light blue jeans, and soft pastel colors.
- Beige. Perhaps the most versatile. It goes well with almost all shades, “merges” with the tone of your legs, visually lengthening it. This is a great find for girls and women of short stature.
- Blue. Look best with denim clothes. The blue color of the slips is very beautifully combined with a white top or print, which has the same shade of blue.
- Denim. They will be an ideal addition to a denim outfit. The tones of denim on shoes and clothes can be the same or sharply contrasting.
- Reds. They can make you stand out from the crowd, making your image more expressive. Suitable for a light dress, black set, jeans. Support them with an additional color accent, also in red: a bag, a bracelet, a belt.
- Silver, golden. They look elegant and stylish. Wear them with blue, gray jeans, snow-white trousers, simple black dresses, and short shorts.
- Leopardidae. They instantly become the center of the entire outfit, so it is better not to complement the “slippers” with clothes with the same pattern, it will be overload. Things should be sufficiently restrained and laconic to highlight an interesting design. Slip-ons can be plain, and only the toe is decorated with a print.
- Suitable for cool weather (autumn, spring) leather (eco-leather), suede slip-ons. Wear them with trousers, jeans, leggings, overalls plus a coat, jacket, biker jacket or denim jacket.
- Slip-ons with perforations in summer they allow your feet to breathe. They go well with short frayed shorts, skirts, and sundresses.
- Fabric models with designs m, for example, floral, will help diversify everyday outfits with jeans and a T-shirt. Complete the look with a bag or backpack.
- Slip-ons with spikes- original solution. For lovers of rocker style, it is better to wear them with boyfriends, a T-shirt, or a leather jacket. A leather skirt or leggings will also suit this style.
- Romantic style is emphasized models with bows, sewn with folds, flounces.
- Slip-ons are suitable for short girls, especially models with platforms.
- A technique that helps make your legs look longer is when shoes and trousers are matched in the same color, for example, black trousers and shoes.
- If you can’t choose a color, then combine at least trousers of the same tone with slip-ons, for example, light with light, black with dark.
- The slips can be washed in the washing machine on a light cycle.
- Men's slip-ons are recommended to be worn with shorts, jeans, sweatshirts, and hoodies. A non-classic summer cotton suit will do.

If you value comfort and want to look fashionable and stylish, find out what to wear with women's slip-ons with thick soles, how to choose an outfit with black, white and denim shoes in summer and autumn. First, sort out your wardrobe; you probably have enough things in it for the perfect look. And if there seem to be few sets, buy the missing outfits.
Introduction to slip-ons and secrets of comfort
If you don’t yet know what slip-ons are (aka slips), then take a moment to get to know these trendy and very comfortable shoes better.
Women's slip-ons are a relatively new product that appeared in 1977 as lightweight sports shoes with rubber soles and a canvas upper. The authors of the design are the Van Doren brothers from California. However, the style was quickly adopted by the giants of the shoe market, and already in the nineties, slips began to be popular among young girls and women of all ages.
Characteristic for slip-ons thick rubber or rubber sole, which bends easily, making walking on any surface comfortable. The thickness of the sole varies depending on the model and seasonality. In autumn varieties it is usually thicker.
For active recreation, you need a thinner sole, otherwise walking in the mountains and cycling will be impossible. Classic slips do not have laces, hence the name (slip on shoes = shoes without laces).
For convenience, some versions have thick elastic inserts. They are easy to put on and take off, even without a shoehorn. Some modern models of women's slips have laces and zippers, but these are the designers' highlights.
Thanks to the closed top, the slips fit tightly on the leg and do not dangle. However, a wide last, which is enthusiastically accepted by those with full feet, is not suitable for girls with narrow feet. What to do? Pick up insoles, which will help eliminate the shortcoming - make the shoes narrower or fix the heel.
Manufacturers produce women's slip-ons not only with flat soles, but also with small rubber heels or wedges. Thick textured (tractor) soles are at the height of fashion. If you purchased flat slips and you get tired in them, look for heel insoles. They will raise the heel by 2-3 cm and make walking comfortable.
Slip-ons are often called sleepers, but this is a slightly different direction. Sleepers– descendants of indoor slippers (from the word slippers), which acquired low-heeled soles. Probably, their “blood” is also present in the “genus” of slip-ons, since the uppers of these types of shoes are very similar. But the sole is fundamentally different. In slip-ons she is thicker and sportier.
Exceptions to the rules - what you can’t wear with women’s slip-ons
Despite the universality of everyone's favorites, there are strict restrictions for them:
- Women's slip-ons should not be worn with classic clothes at any time of the year. Put them aside when wearing an office pantsuit, a formal skirt or a business dress. Classic shoes are more suitable for such outfits.
- Evening wear is another unsuitable pair for sports and semi-sports shoes. Luxurious dresses require stiletto heels or at least classic pumps with 4 cm heels.
- Avoid wearing flat-soled slip-on shoes with long flared and wide-leg trousers - these should be paired with high-heeled shoes. Ideally, the trouser legs should cover almost the entire heel or at least two-thirds.
- Tight skirts are not friendly with massive shoes, which include slips. Even a short, tight skirt is not suitable for a fashionable girl.
- Forget about long trousers and skirts that cover your shoes! Slips must be open and clearly visible! The larger the area of visible leg, the more impressive you will look.
Perhaps these are all restrictions. Women's slip-ons come in leather and textile, and the variety of textiles is more than pleasing. These include dense fabrics such as denim and raincoat, and thin summer ones, ideal for the heat, and openwork fabrics that allow air to pass through.
Fashion ideas for all occasions
Stylists recommend buying clothes first, and then shoes. But women are impulsive natures. They buy what they like or can’t resist saving on discounts. As a result, a new thing appears in your shoe closet, and the question in your head is: what to wear with women’s slip-ons to make the look look complete?
What to wear with summer slip-ons
Summer slip-ons are usually lightweight, with a textile upper. On sale there are solid models of different colors and shoes with various patterns - from the usual stripes and flowers to intricate patterns and animal prints. Options with embroidery are interesting; models with rhinestones and lace look glamorous.

In summer, slip-ons are worn without socks or with thin invisible socks to avoid chafing your feet and feel comfortable. Mesh and openwork models are best worn on bare feet; they are highly breathable and suitable even for hot days.
What to wear with slip-ons in autumn and spring
For the off-season, slips with thick soles made of leather or suede are ideal. The high sole saves you from puddles and protects you from the cold, so slip-ons can be safely worn until the first frost. For heel lovers, there are options with hidden wedges, like this one.
In early autumn and on warm spring days, models with a textile upper lined with a soft lining come to the rescue. These are not only warm, but also very comfortable. We recommend buying this pair for women who often get chafing feet or get tired in high heels to give their feet a well-deserved rest.
Closed autumn slip-ons with laces or elastic bands on the sides can be worn with skinny women's jeans and tapered trousers that reach the ankle. You can create the look with winter shorts and tight claws. This is where they come in handy, the skillful use of which in the wardrobe we talked about earlier.
A long, warm skirt that leaves your shoes visible is perfect for a stylish fall look. However, it is better to abandon a straight skirt in favor of a slightly flared one, otherwise your legs will seem heavy.
Lacquered slips can be worn with things that are close to the classics. They look good with short coats and jackets.
For the top, choose any loose-style items - sports jackets, short-sleeved jackets, vests. Slip-ons go well with cropped outerwear, but be careful when choosing long coats and raincoats! Only tall girls can afford elongated models without heels without the risk of appearing even shorter.
What to wear with women's denim slip-ons
Jeans in all forms are ideal for slips with a denim top. Ideally, it is better to wear denim slip-ons with pants same shade or darker than trousers. When combining one tone, your legs will appear longer. Remember that jeans should be tapered and not cover your shoes!

In summer, you can choose a blue dress or a white sundress with a blue (blue) pattern. Beach dresses in a nautical style will go well with blue jeans.
The ABC of color - how to choose clothes of the right tone
If you have a lot of clothes of different colors, for which it is difficult to find universal shoes, it is most practical to buy slip-ons in black or white. Plain, colored, bright and pastel outfits are suitable for these.
If you managed to buy colorful slip-ons and now don’t know what to wear them with, stop at the predominant shade and find a plain item of that color. Everything is easier in the summer. If the color contains white, then choose a white T-shirt or blouse. With short skirts and shorts, you don’t even have to worry about the bottom, focusing only on the top.
If there is blue or blue in the design, it is enough to wear denim shorts or a skirt. Thin summer fabrics in blue or denim are also suitable.
If the top of the shoe is bright or with a rich floral design, do not overuse brightness and large patterns in clothing. It is better to choose a monochromatic outfit and complement the look with a matching bag or an equally bright belt or scarf.
Khaki slips pair well with green, gray, black, brown, mustard and denim pants. If the trousers are not green, choose a T-shirt that matches them in color.
Gold-colored slips are loved by glamorous girls. Golden shoes go well with light-colored clothes; they can be worn with silk and chiffon dresses. It is good to choose a handbag or belt for the set. If these are black slip-on sneakers with a gold toe, then you can choose almost any dark clothing, but without silver.
Golden slip-ons go well with white, ivory, silver, and light gray tones. A hat, bag or belt with a silver tint will complete the look. Don't forget about jewelry and accessories.
How to clean slip-ons
Good quality textile slips can be safely washed in a washing machine manually, using a special shoe mesh or laundry bag. If you bought an inexpensive model from a dubious manufacturer and are not sure that the glue will withstand washing, hand wash only the top using foam and a brush.
Shoes decorated with beads, sparkles and other accessories require special care. Carefully inspect the product before putting it in the machine or hand washing it. You may need to use dry cleaning services.
Clean leather and suede slip-ons as you would other shoes. Use clear creams first, and when the top fades, get rid of imperfections with colored creams and paints.
If you're tired of wearing plain-colored slip-on tops, decorate them with your own hands. Textiles can be embroidered or complemented with rhinestones, applique, and beads. It is better not to pierce the skin if there are no abrasions. Make a leather flower from unnecessary pieces using and glue it.
The variety of men's shoes that can be found on store shelves today allows even the most sophisticated fashionista to make a choice. Men's slip-ons are an excellent summer shoe option that is practical and comfortable. The foot in slip-ons feels maximum comfort. Let's consider the features of these analogues of sneakers, as well as their types and ways of combining them with clothes.
The invention of these shoes belongs to Van Doren, the founder of Vans. Slip-ons that are fashionable today are made by many global brands, each of which gives the shoe its own unique distinction. The structure consists of the following elements:
- rubber (vulcanized) thick sole;
- inserts made of elastic material instead of laces;
- the upper part is made of canvas, leather, suede.
These fashionable shoes gained their first popularity among teenagers who love active sports: skaters, surfers. Due to the fact that the sole is dense and the fit to the foot has no gaps, the shoes do not slap while moving. The phrase slip on itself literally translates as “to slide,” that is, shoes that you can easily slip into without the help of hands or laces.
Men's slip-ons today are used not only by teenagers and young men; businessmen also wear such shoes. It's all about the versatility of slip-ons - they can complete almost any look: from street to business options.
Branded products are offered in various colors and materials: leather, synthetic textiles. In every man's wardrobe there is sure to be an outfit that will be perfectly complemented by these shoes. It is not customary to wear socks under slip-ons.
Varieties of models and brands: how to choose the best
Speaking about the variety of products, I would like to highlight the options that are in demand among the male population. As a rule, men often choose black or white models - these are the types of products that can be easily combined with any clothing. Stylish slip-ons today are represented by the following options:
Slip-ons made of genuine leather have gained success among men who prefer a business lifestyle. In this case, high-quality shoes are the main criterion for assessing a person’s status. Brands from Italy have proven themselves well, offering summer slip-ons made of leather with a perforated surface for air penetration.
They are characterized by the presence of a flat rope sole and a base made of fabric material. At first glance, espadrilles seem fragile, but this factor belies their durability and comfort. Fashionable espadrilles go well with leisure and casual wear.

What else do you need to know?
The opinion that slip-ons are not suitable for short girls is wrong. After all, there are models on the platform that will add the desired few centimeters of height. In addition, it is worth remembering the rule: visually your legs will appear longer if the color of your trousers and shoes matches. For example, when the same slip-ons are worn with jeans. It is not always possible to combine this way. Then it is recommended to combine at least a tone: light trousers and the same slip-ons, black trousers and dark shoes.

Another important question that concerns fans of these shoes is whether they should wear socks. Slip-ons, including men's ones, are quite self-sufficient and look great with a bare leg, as the photos demonstrate. And if they are gold, then this is the only option. But wearing socks is completely acceptable. It can be simply uncomfortable without them, because most models have rubber soles. In hot weather, your feet will sweat. It is better to choose neutral, plain socks. Colored ones are suitable if the image contains bright accents that you want to play up. The best option is invisible socks. They will help you maintain hygiene standards without compromising your appearance.
Men's slip-ons also remain relevant. They go perfectly with simple clothes: jeans and sweatshirts, shorts and T-shirts. Options are also possible with a suit, if it is not quite classic, but loose cotton.
