The hot summer is not yet close, and already I want to plunge into the cool water and swim a little ... There is a way out! Visit the pool! It’s not a secret for anyone what water procedures bring: they harden, strengthen the nervous system, relax muscles ... You can talk about the benefits of water for a long time, but all this will not make sense if you haven’t prepared for classes in the pool beforehand.
It must be remembered that special ammunition is needed to visit the pool: a hat, a bathing suit and, of course, high-quality shoes - shales. Here on the shoes, let's dwell in more detail.
Why do you need it?
Firstly, pool shoes perform the most important function - protection from falls and damage to the legs. Everyone knows that the territory of the pool and the adjacent premises have a tiled floor, which is rather slippery. Slates make walking around the pool safe, because cases of falling on slippery tiles will inevitably lead to injuries to the limbs and head. In addition, they will reduce the risk of fungal diseases, which are often infected in pools.
Secondly, correctly selected shoes are no less important than tastefully selected clothes, and, at the same time as other attributes for the pool and beach, such as a hat, swimsuit, glasses, acts as an element of the image. Therefore, in this case, fashionistas have the opportunity to show their taste. Today, manufacturers offer a wide selection of slates - these are practical models for men, and elegant ones for women, and comfortable ones for children. Shops even offer special models for walking on stones, sand. Therefore, buying such shoes, you can use it not only in the pool, but also on vacation near the sea.
Materials
First of all, when buying shoes for the pool and beach, you need to pay attention to the material from which it is made. Legs will not be exposed to danger only if the shoes are made from environmentally friendly and high-quality materials.
Slates are made primarily of rubber. Such shoes adhere well to the floor, do not slip, but have a significant drawback - it is heavy and creates inconvenience when worn. In addition, it dries longer, which plays an important role. In the pool, you are unlikely to pay attention to this property. And on the beach - another thing, because everyone knows the unpleasant feeling of sand adhering to the shoes. Therefore, modern manufacturers for the manufacture of shoes often use PVC, EVA, polyurethane. Models made from these materials are lighter and more comfortable. I would like to separately mention products made of ethylene vinyl acetate - EVA. They have excellent firmness and elasticity, and also have antibacterial properties.
When buying, pay attention to the sole of the slates. It must have a corrugation that prevents slipping on the wet tiled floor of the pool.
Models
A huge selection of models available for sale has the aim of acquiring a pair of suitable shoes that cannot be compared with any other in convenience. Let us consider in more detail the options for shoes for the pool and beach.
- Slates. This name has been included in the lexicon since the days of the USSR. Slates is the name of the city in which shoes were made. It was fixed to this model, which is a flat sole and a wide jumper on the foot, opening the fingers. Although this model is not young, it is still popular. It is made by well-known brands and nameless manufacturers.
- Flip Flops. This shoe model “came” to us from Asia and is a flat comfortable sole and thin straps, one of which is attached between the toes. Flip flops are maximally open, therefore they require the perfect pedicure. Manufacturers offer us a huge selection of these shoes, decorated with straps, lacing, rhinestones, artificial flowers, which allows you to combine it not only with beach dresses, but also with clothes for urban looks.
- Crocuses are light square galoshes without a heel, they have a round closed nose, a thick sole and a screwed strap to fix the heel. The best option for shoes for movement on the water can not be found. They are comfortable and do not fall off your feet while walking. This is an excellent choice for children whose legs should be protected during outdoor games in the sand or in the water.
Do not forget, visiting the pool or outdoor activities on the beach is always a certain risk to your health. Make this pastime pleasant, choose high-quality and comfortable shoes and enjoy these minutes without unnecessary worries.
