These $14 Slides Will Be the Next Ugly Sandals to Earn a Place in Your Heart and Gym Bag
What has a cushioned sole, a supportive arch, and comes in 27 playful colors? Hint: It's on Amazon for just $14. I'm referring to the FunkyMonkey Non Slip Slide Sandals, which have nearly 3,000 perfect ratings from shoppers, many of whom are stocking up on multiple pairs for the summer.
Made from a soft and flexible plastic material, the slide's thick soles are slip-resistant and have a light rebound ability that reviewers say makes every step feel like you're "walking on a cloud." The diamond-pattern design on the soles provides traction and keeps sweat buildup on the bottom of your feet to a minimum. Each pair is waterproof and easy to wipe down, making the shoes well suited to a variety of occasions — shoppers wear them both indoors and outdoors, including for lounging by the pool, walking along the beach, and even while taking a shower.

The FunkyMonkey brand carries plenty of options worthy of your shoe rack (including a near-identical dupe for Birkenstocks), but reviewers say these versatile sandals are easily the "most comfortable, casual slides ever." They say they don't irritate bare skin, and they can even comfortably fit wide feet without feeling constricting.
"They are super comfortable, aren't too hot, slide on and off with ease, and look stinking cute," wrote one reviewer. "My arches don't scream by the end of the day, and I have way less sole pain. I believe that my feet swell less too. You get all of this for the price of a pair of sandals from a local discount store that you know will fall apart, rub your toes and give you blisters. Buy these shoes!"
"My mom is diabetic and she said she put the sandals on and just smiled because they felt so good," said another. "I plan on ordering every color. I'm crafty and am always spilling something on my shoes. These easily wipe off. I literally wear them everywhere. LOVE."
The FunkyMonkey Non Slip Slide Sandals are available in sizes 6 to 11 in 27 shades, from bright colors to neutral tones. Head to Amazon to snag them all for only $14 per pair.
