Bathing flip-flops: 5 comfortable unisex models for the pool, beach and city

They may not be the prettiest, but they are certainly the most comfortable: flat, open shoes that you can slip in and out of comfortably - aka slides. Five suggestions for cosy summer shoes.

Admittedly: Bathing flip-flops aren't exactly the prettiest. But they exude summery light-heartedness like hardly any other shoe. The flat, open plastic slippers are ideal for chilling out near the water or strolling through the heated city.

What they lack in aesthetic finesse, they easily make up for with their relaxed charm. They go great with streetwear looks or, in keeping with the "Wrong Shoe Theory", even with more chic outfits. Here are five unisex slides that will take you comfortably through the summer.

1. Crocs "Mellow"

The marshmallow-like feel and minimalist, slightly chunky look make the "Mellow" model from Crocs one of the most popular slides on the market. Feet can sink into the deep footbed with slow spring-back for optimal relaxation.

2. Adidas "Adilette"

Self-explanatory: Whether in a standard or aqua version - Adilettes are cult classics that you can't go wrong with. [dootTranslate

3. Adidas "Adilette 22"

For those who prefer a chunky, slightly futuristic look, the "Adilette 22" should appeal. The slide impresses with its textured surface, which is reminiscent of a topographical map.

With or without socks - slides are a must-have for summer.

4. Oofo's "Ooah"

The patented footbed of the "Ooah" slide from Oofos reduces stress on joints such as knees and ankles. Ideal for helping your body to recover after strenuous activities - or just because.

5th Birkenstock "Arizona Eva"

"Arizonas" are probably Birkenstock's most popular model alongside the "Bostons". However, due to the use of cork and leather, the shoe is only suitable for use at the pool, beach and the like to a limited extent - in contrast to the Eva foam version.
