Sure, summer may be coming to an end but you may want to hold off on stowing away your pool slides. In light of back-to-school, we’ve rounded up the cutest and most stylish shower shoes on the market, perfect for the dorm, gym and more.
Now, you’re probably wondering whether you actually need to be wearing slippers in public showers. Short answer: yes. According to Toronto-based chiropodist Jonathan Tomines, of The Toe Bro fame, moist and wet environments in public spaces such as gyms, dance studios and showers are a breeding grounds for fungal and wart infections. “Being barefoot can increase your chances of catching these infections due to direct contact with the floor,” he explains, adding that cracked and dry skin further increases your chances of catching something since your skin acts as a barrier. Waterloo, Ont.-based chiropodist, Matthew Doyle—who runs The Barking Dogs YouTube channel from his practice—agrees. “Some practitioners even go as far as telling patients to avoid public showers all together,” he says.
Of course, if you 100 per cent MUST shower in a public space (whether you live in a dorm or you’re heading into work after a sweaty early morning spin class) then shower shoes are your BFF. Swipe through the gallery below for some stylish shower slide inspiration.
