Editor testing and review notes: ““Examining the footbed, I was surprised to see the design provides arch support, which was a much-needed bonus for my high arches. There’s also a ribbed texture on the footbed that provides the ideal traction for wet feet after a dip in the pool. These slides are incredibly lightweight, so they’re perfect to pack for weekend getaways or week-long beach vacations.”
