I'll say it: the slide is the most neutral and underrated sandal. It's simple: a classic slip-on design, a little athletic looking, and not so in-your-face—it's versatile too. You can wear them on the way to and from the gym (when we're changing shoes inside, of course), to take the dog for a walk, run an errand, or obviously for heading to the beach. Wear them with socks? Why not.

As far as we're concerned, a single pair of great slides might be the only sandals you need. Particularly if you are not a big Sandals Guy, slides are low-key enough to get the job done when you need it. Here, we have 13 of our favorite slides for different tastes. Whether you're looking for something sporty, supportive, or vacation-ready, take your pick.

How do you keep slides on your feet?
