Women's Thongs & Slides

From about the middle of October, women's thongs and slides do the same job in two different ways, and the only real difference is what happens between your toes. A thong sits on a post. A slide runs a band across the foot and leaves them alone. Everything after that is preference, and preference here is settled by a foot that either makes peace with a post or never quite does.

Choosing Between a Thong and a Pool Slide

The choice is not complicated, which is exactly why it stalls. Women's thongs and slides weigh the same in a bag, take up the same room by a door and cover the same afternoons, so the decision has nowhere to go except the foot itself. A post is either something you stop noticing by the second wearing or something you never make peace with. A slide holds on with a band over the top and asks nothing of the toes at all. Our womens slides page keeps that half on its own if the post has already lost the argument.

Flip Flops, Thongs and Slides Together

Flip flops and thongs are one shoe under two names, which is worth knowing before you go looking for one and come back with the other. Slides are the only genuinely separate shape here. Mens thongs and slides is the same shelf on the other side of the store. Colours run from black, ebony and deep beige through to ash rose and a metallic gold, so the last thing to settle is whether the pair should disappear under a hem or be the brightest thing you have on.
