The sandal has three prevalent forms in modern-day style: Gladiator, flip-flop, and slide. Of the three, it's the latter that is our focus today. It's the easiest to wear, the most comfortable, and also the most versatile. Plus, it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

We think back to the 2000s, when slides evolved past a shoe meant for college bathrooms and lounging beachside. Some of the biggest brands started making them for the streets, professional athletes began to flaunt luxury styles on game day, and models were trekking down the runways in designs from avant-garde collections. Ever since, slides have remained a staple of closets, delivering convenient practicality in a sleek silhouette. Whether you choose to remain loyal to your Birkenstocks or switch it up for a sporty Lululemon version, your slides are going to get you from Point A to Point B with modish ease.

If you aren't on the slide bandwagon yet, or are looking to add another style to your footwear repertoire, then take your pick from one of the 18 best pairs below. Sit back, relax, and take a load off your feet.
