Initially designed for the nautical world<\/strong> and other pool sports<\/strong>, foam clogs and slides have managed to find a completely different audience in just a few years, showcasing them with style (or not) on the cobblestones of cities. And 2022 seems to give a new lease of life to the foam clog trend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slide, from the pool to the city<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It made a grand return a few summers ago. Criticized and styled in its iconic duo with socks, the slide has come to occupy the closets of Mr. and Mrs. Everybody<\/strong>, and not just those of campers and lifeguards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primarily practical<\/strong>, its appearance has suddenly awakened minds by making it the centerpiece of everyday looks<\/strong>. And this year is no exception. We indeed see it coming back, both in beachfront stands<\/strong> and among ready-to-wear brands. For this summer 2022, the slide arrives in a different silhouette<\/strong>, with a somewhat more “bold” look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we were used to seeing the slide with a flat rubber sole and a supportive strap, often displaying the brand name or a design with lines… This year, alongside the “classic” model, we are witnessing the trend of a more imposing slide<\/strong>, resembling a block of rubber, with toes escaping in search of sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pairs are gradually abandoning the “pool slide” look for more stylish, solid cuts and colors, more suited for city looks<\/strong>. Because in the end, the slide follows us more on the cobblestones of cities than by the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are foam clogs making a comeback?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another iconic shoe of the \u201cthey’re not meant for that but we wear them everywhere, they’re tacky but we make them trendy<\/strong>\u201d category… Foam clogs like Crocs<\/strong>!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
