Slip-ons are summer shoes made of textile or canvas with rubber soles. It is no coincidence that they are in trend: in the age of high speeds, for ease of movement you need something comfortable, light, and practical. It is these criteria that the shoes meet, originally intended for surfers, and then established themselves in men's and women's wardrobes. Now this model is worn by everyone: from small children to elderly grandmothers. The foot feels comfortable and cozy in it, and the flat sole allows you to wear slip-ons from morning to evening without getting tired.
Trends in recent years suggest wearing summer models without socks, on bare feet. There are many types of such shoes, including slip-ons. When they first appeared, it was a little strange to see a bare leg between slips and jeans, but now wearing a sock is associated with the age-old backwardness of the owner.
Do you need socks for slip-ons?
Of course, stylists are unanimous in their opinion: no and no. But an ordinary person is far from the podium and acts, first of all, as is convenient for him.
The leg may not feel entirely comfortable if any seam is stitched deviating from the standard. In the heat, the foot sweats, and the moisture has nowhere to go except to be absorbed into the insole.
The result is not encouraging - the presence of a constant specific odor is guaranteed, and wet feet that are on rubber soles for a long time are, at best, sweaty. Washing the lining layer of shoes every day is not a solution. Socks will help, preferably made from natural threads.
Which ones can you wear to stay stylish and healthy? Of course, those that will not be visible or will not shock others with the colorful colors protruding from the slip-ons.
What socks to wear
To ensure that your feet feel comfortable and you are confident that you look great, choose socks from the following models:
- invisible;
- footprints;
- shortened.
Invisible shoes will help hide the area of the leg that is in the sock. There is no elastic band at the top, so there is nothing to protrude from under the edge of the shoe. And the silicone insert on the heel will help securely fix the socks on the foot, that is, they will not move or twist. At the same time, you will forget about them, and those around you will not even see them.
The tracks have been known since Soviet times. They were worn in the summer under pumps, although hiding the protruding edges was problematic. Modern models, although made from the same artificial materials - polyamide, nylon or acrylic, but provide a good fit on the leg and therefore camouflage properties are much better.
There are other models of footwear made of cotton with a slight addition of synthetics. They are not visible from under the edge of the slip-ons, although the texture is much denser than nylon socks.They are more suitable for feet because the hygienic properties of cotton are better than synthetic ones.
With shortened models it’s even easier. Disguise will consist of choosing a color that best matches the color of the skin on your legs. The length of such socks does not rise above the ankle, but it will not hide behind the edge of the slip-ons. The presence of a compacted elastic band will not allow this, even if their parameters are minimal.
Socks for men's slip-ons
There is an unspoken law in men's fashion: all shoes that are selected for a classic suit are worn with socks, and summer models are worn without them. Stylists don’t think about how comfortable it will be for a man to stay with bare legs for the whole day. Their job is to give fashion advice, and every representative of the stronger sex can adapt it to themselves. A man is free to decide for himself whether he should wear slip-ons with or without socks.
If socks are necessary, purchase discreet socks or cropped models. Both models have positive aspects that will help you comply with the rules of fashion etiquette and maintain comfort when wearing shoes for a long time.
Some tips
- When choosing camouflage socks, buy them in the same color as the slip-ons: wear the same socks with white shoes, matching socks with blue ones, don’t wear light shades with dark ones. If the edge of the sock does peek out somewhere, then only the contrasting color will be critical. Matching the tone of the shoe will make the mark invisible.
- If you are going to play sports, then remember that socks are a must for this. Choose the most regular or shortened models. Matched to match your shoes, they will look very stylish on the court or in the gym.
- If you are going to wear slip-ons as recommended, without a sock, choose shoes of good quality, with good fabric and soft soles. Take care of your foot hygiene and use special products such as spray or talc to reduce sweating.
- Don't wear one pair of slip-ons every day. Give her at least a day to rest. This way it will last longer and have time to ventilate properly.
