Beach sandals have been around forever. The concept of sandals evolved over time, adapting to various climates and terrains. Nowadays, beach sandals are synonymous with leisure and relaxation, especially in beachside settings! It’s no wonder beach sandals are a quintessential part of the summer wardrobe. Choose your favorite style of beach sandals – whether that’s flip flops or slides, we have it all! Regular care for your beach sandals ensures they accompany you on many beach adventures!
Types of beach sandals
Today, beach sandals come in many styles. Whatever your preference, there’s a pair for you. Let’s quickly explore some common types. First and foremost, flip flops – they’re perhaps the most iconic beach sandals! Everyone knows them and almost everyone wears them occasionally. When you think beach sandals, you think flip flops. Another great style is slides. These beach sandals have a single wide strap that crosses the foot, making them super comfortable. If you prefer an open structure without material between your toes, slides are amazing! Also popular are ‘normal’ beach sandals, featuring straps at your toes, instep, and heel, suitable even for walks when the beach is a bit farther away.
Materials for your beach sandals
The materials used in beach sandals play a crucial role in their comfort and durability. Flip flops commonly use rubber for its waterproof nature. However, at Wolky, we know this material isn’t the most comfortable. Yes, it’s waterproof, but it can also make your feet sweaty. And sweaty feet? No thanks, we’re not fans. However, we are fans of leather. Leather beach sandals offer durability and comfort, while also giving your beach sandals a classic look. Leather is ideal for beach sandals for both men and women. Another great material for the soles of beach sandals is EVA – also known as Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. No need to remember the full name; just remember that EVA is known for being lightweight and cushioned. That’s is why we often use it in the soles of our beach sandals!
