Slides have not always been the height of fashion. The rubber pool sandal was once the reserve of college dorms, of stoner guys too lazy to tie their shoes and athletes who’d slip theirs on with socks after a big game.

Dress them up for a night out dancing comfortably (for once!) or with a pair of shorts and a swimsuit for a day at the beach. Here, 16 stylish pairs to slide on now.
