The name of the product comes from the English phrase "Slip - on", the literal translation of which says that this shoe is easy to use - it is quite easy to put on your foot and also easy to take off.

Paul Van Doren was the creator of the slipons. Having opened this shoe to the world as far back as 1982, he positioned his slipona as a shoe designed for water sports in the open sea or the ocean - surfing. A little later, shoes became available for mass consumption and became a very popular everyday option.

Many may have problems reading and pronouncing the name of this shoe. But one should remember once and for all that the word slipona is pronounced with the emphasis on the vowel letter F.

What do they look like?

Classic slipons are slippers that look like sneakers, but the lack of lacing is the main distinguishing feature. The product has a very dense rubberized sole, the thickness of which may vary depending on the model.

The upper part is made of lightweight fabric, most often of dense, but breathable canvas, what makes this type of shoe suitable even for hot weather. Since the material is easily ventilated, feet will not sweat, which will relieve the unpleasant sensations and the appearance of the corresponding smell.

Models

The model line of slipons is full of many unusual models, such as lace or knitted, which, although not very practical, due to their low durability, but look amazingly tender and elegant.

There are models on the platform, thickened sole, wedge and even heels. Slip-ons of this kind visually add a few centimeters to the height, adjusting and slightly pulling the silhouette, they make the legs more slender.

Slipons are good because there is a model for everyone - for children, adult women and men. And for girls with a large foot size, they will become a real find, since they have a fairly wide range of models.

Slippers with an open toe and without a backdrop look quite interesting. This model will be ideal for long walks in hot weather, because it combines convenience and an attractive stylish appearance.

A distinctive feature can be the sole, which in the standard classic model is made of elastic dense rubber, most often white. But besides this, the sole can be woven from a special material, as well as a tractor - with a highly grooved surface.

Slip-ons made of rag material can be fitted with stretching rubber inserts. Leather or suede models, as well as slip-ons from a material that cannot be stretched, are equipped with zippers that facilitate the use of footwear.

Some, especially creative young ladies, use beautiful slip-ons with decor as wedding shoes. For such a case may be suitable lace models or any other with a certain elegant decor.

Material

Thanks to the fabric, you can easily determine the seasonal identity of the slipons., because not every material is able to adapt to a variety of weather conditions. For example, slip-on sneakers or with mesh inserts are only a summer option for dry weather, because in other cases the feet in them will be cold and rain and slush will damage the product.

An unusual idea is that one slip-on shows baby Minnie Mouse, and the other - Mickey himself.The background on which cartoon characters are depicted may differ, so you should not be embarrassed at the sight of a pair of slipons in different shades.

Among other prints are popular images of stripes, skulls, small or large peas, cells of different sizes. Leopard, brindle and snake print looks equally beautiful, as well as camouflage colors in the style of millitar.

Decor

Slip-ons differ not only in coloring, but also in the presence of decorative elements. For example, a model embroidered with sequins looks stunning and, gleaming in the sun, will definitely attract many enthusiastic views.

In addition to sequins, slipons can be embroidered with large and small precious stones, which can be attached in a chaotic manner or in the form of some special ornament.

A shiny surface can be achieved not only with sequins and stones, slip-ons with sparkles look just as good. But this model has one very significant drawback - glitter can quickly crumble.

As a decor, a thick massive chain can be used.. A segment consisting of literally three to four links is attached to the front of the product, but even this is enough to decorate shoes of a similar format.

In addition to the above-described decorative elements, both embroidery and a small brush made of the same material as the product itself, as well as beads and pearls of different sizes, are actively used.

Brands

Many popular brands have in their arsenal a collection of stylish slipons. For example, Chanel It boasts a fairly rich range of slipons with different distinctive features that make each model different from the other.
