Takeaways

• 😀 The video discusses a top 10 list of the most comfortable summer slides for 2024.
• 😀 The UFOs Ass Slides come in at number 10, offering a soft but not overly thick foam with arch support, though they run a size too large.
• 😀 New Balance Fresh Foam Martians, ranked 9th, are soft but disappointing as they don't feel as comfortable as New Balance's Fresh Foam in their 1080 shoes. Sizing is also inconsistent.
• 😀 Merrell Hydr Mule, priced at $90, is a lightweight, breathable slide with a good fit, but its rubber outsole doesn't offer as much traction on tiles.
• 😀 Jordan Foam Runners, ranked 7th, are surprisingly comfortable at $60 but have a design that deviates from traditional Jordan aesthetics, which could be a turn-off for some.
• 😀 Crocs Echo Slide, ranked 6th at $50, features a removable insole and good durability but needs sizing adjustments (one full size down). It's soft and comfortable, with some breathability.
• 😀 Crocs Mellow Slide, ranked 5th, is soft and marshmallow-like, but its strap doesn't secure the foot well, making it unsuitable for walking long distances.
• 😀 Nike Com Slide, at number 4, has a heavier foam and added rubber outsole for extra durability but isn't the softest. The design is minimalist, and sizing runs narrow.
• 😀 Crocs Mellow Lux, a premium version of the Mellow Slide, offers an adjustable strap to solve the slipping issue, retailing at $65.
• 😀 The Yeezy Slide takes the number 1 spot as the most comfortable slide, featuring incredibly soft foam, durability, and a design that molds to the foot over time, though sizing can be inconsistent across colorways.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the video?

The video focuses on reviewing and ranking the top 10 most comfortable summer slides of 2024. The creator tested several pairs of slides and shared personal experiences to identify the most comfortable options.

What issues did the reviewer face with the UFOs ass slides?

The reviewer found the UFOs ass slides to be too large, even though they ordered their true size. The slides also slipped off the feet due to the wide strap, and the foam felt soft but not very thick, failing to live up to the claims made on the product's website.

How does the New Balance Fresh Foam Martian compare to other slides?

While the New Balance Fresh Foam Martian slides are made from Fresh Foam, which is known for comfort, the reviewer found them slightly disappointing. They were not as soft as expected, and the design was unconventional for a New Balance product, although they fit better once the right size was chosen.

Why did the reviewer mention the Merrell Hydr Mule as more of a mule than a slide?

The Merrell Hydr Mule was mentioned as a mule because of its design, which includes a back heel cover, though it functions similarly to a slide. The reviewer noted that while the slides are lightweight and breathable, the rubber outsole was slippery on tiles.

What makes the Jordan Ram slide unique, according to the reviewer?

The Jordan Ram slide is compared to the Yeezy foam runner due to its design but differs in that it features soft and squishy foam. Despite being comfortable, the design was seen as a bit odd for Jordan brand, as it tried to tie the design back to Jordan heritage in ways that didn’t seem natural.

How does the Crocs Echo slide stand out in terms of comfort?

The Crocs Echo slide stands out for its removable insole and dual-layer design, where the outer shell is harder and more durable, while the inner insole is soft and cushioned. The design includes dots on the footbed, enhancing comfort, though the sizing runs large.

What issue did the reviewer face with the Crocs Mellow slide?

The reviewer found the Crocs Mellow slide to be extremely soft and lightweight but noted that the strap was too loose, making the slides slip off the feet easily. The slide was comfortable for light use but not suitable for long walks or activities requiring more foot stability.

What makes the Nike Comm slide controversial?

The Nike Comm slide is controversial due to its resemblance to the Yeezy slides, which sparked criticism. Additionally, the slide is heavier than expected and has a glued-on outsole, which the reviewer felt was unnecessary, although it does stay on the foot better than other slides due to the longer strap.

Why did the reviewer not rate the Slay Benberry Croc slide highly?

The reviewer found the Slay Benberry Croc slide disappointing, as it lacked sufficient cushioning and felt too firm underfoot. Despite its cool design, the slide didn’t meet expectations in terms of comfort, and the sizing was also problematic.

What makes the Yeezy slide stand out as the top pick?

The Yeezy slide is the top pick because of its unmatched comfort. The foam used in these slides is incredibly soft and bouncy, offering a squishy feel. The slides mold to the feet over time and remain durable, making them the most comfortable option in the reviewer’s opinion. The only downside is the difficulty in getting the right size, as the fit varies by colorway.
