Like many people who have been working from home the past two years, I pretty much stopped wearing shoes altogether once Covid started. But after a few months of going barefoot, I noticed my feet started to feel sore and my body ached thanks to hard floors and zero arch support. My solution was to start wearing slippers around the house — the only problem being that all of the options in my slipper rotation were fuzzy and super warm, and my feet tend to overheat.
14 Pairs of Flats That Are Just as Comfortable as Sneakers, According to Thousands of Customer Reviews
The slide sandals are made from a soft foam material and feature a 1.75-inch platform of molded cushioning that makes them comfortable enough to wear for hours. The grippy bottom provides great traction on carpets, hardwood, and tile floors, making them ideal indoor shoes. And the quick-drying cloud slides are even waterproof, so I can slip them on right out of the shower without worrying about them getting damaged.

While I’ve made them my go-to house shoe, I recently noticed celebrities like Hailey Beiber and Kendall Jenner have worn similar chunky platform slides while out and about. That’s all it took to convince me to order another pair to wear outside my apartment this spring. There are 13 colors to choose from, and I think I will get either black or white as they will be easier to mix into my wardrobe than the green pair I already own.
Sizes range from five to 10, and there are no half sizes, unfortunately. I’m typically a size 8.5, but I sized up to a nine for my house shoes. While they are slightly roomy, they have been fine since I’m just wearing them in my apartment. But, I plant to size down to an eight for my next pair for a more secure fit, especially considering I’ll be wearing them outside.
