I'm usually not one to fall victim to Instagram and TikTok trends, but there was one that recently got me. These waterproof foam sandals, dubbed by the internet as "pillow slides" or "cloud slides," really spoke to my new mantra of comfort only. Eva Garden
Most of the people I saw posting about them said they got them from Amazon, so I went on the site, searched "pillow slides," and found a pair in the color I like. I just looked for ones that had a lot of reviews and honestly didn't do much other research. Even though I run a team of product reviewers, I still occasionally make impulse purchases on Amazon!
The Amazon listing has about 6,300 reviews, 76% of which were 4 and 5 stars. I figured for less than $20, I was willing to take the plunge.
I chose a neutral beige color that would go with everything, but this pair comes in 11 other colors if beige isn't your thing.
They're made of EVA, which is a common type of foam used in footwear. If you're a fan of Birkenstocks, their waterproof sandals are also made of EVA foam, but these ones are thicker and more cushioned.
I initially thought I'd only be able to wear them inside, but they're actually great for walking around the neighborhood or running quick errands.
They fit me with little extra room for when I want to wear socks, but even with that extra room, there's enough of a texture on the shoe that my feet don't slide around.
I thought I was just getting a comfy pair of house sandals when I bought these, but they've become my go-to's for errands and walks around the neighborhood. Turns out my pillow slide impulse purchases may be my best yet!
