The hot summer is not close yet, but I already want to plunge into the cool water and swim a bit ... There is a way out! Visit the pool! It's no secret how water procedures bring benefits: they temper, strengthen the nervous system, relax muscles ... You can talk for a long time about the benefits of water, but all this will not make sense if you didn’t prepare in advance for your swimming pool classes.
It must be remembered, to visit the pool requires special equipment: a hat, a bathing suit and, of course, high-quality shoes - shale. Here on the shoes let's dwell.
Why do we need?
Firstly, pool shoes perform the most important function - protection against falls and foot damage. Everyone knows that the pool area and adjacent areas have a tiled floor, which is rather slippery. Slates make walking around the pool area safe, because falling on slippery tiles inevitably leads to injuries to the limbs and head. In addition, they will reduce the risk of fungal diseases, which are often infected in the pools.
Secondly, the right shoes are no less important than the tasteful clothes, and, along with other attributes for the pool and the beach, such as a hat, swimsuit, and glasses, is an element of the image. Therefore, in this case, fashionistas have the opportunity to show their taste. Today, manufacturers offer a large selection of slates - this is a practical model for men, and elegant - for women, and comfortable - for children. Shops even offer special models for walking on stones, sand. Therefore, buying such shoes, you can use it not only in the pool, but also on holiday near the sea.
Materials
First of all, buying shoes for the pool and the beach, you need to pay attention to the material from which it is made. Legs will not be exposed to hazards only if the shoes are made from environmentally friendly and high-quality materials.
Slates are made primarily of rubber. Such shoes adhere well to the floor, do not slip, but have a significant drawback - it is heavy and inconvenient to wear. In addition, it dries longer, which plays an important role. In the pool you are unlikely to pay attention to this property. And on the beach is another matter, because everyone knows the unpleasant feeling of sand stuck to their shoes. Therefore, modern manufacturers for the manufacture of shoes often use PVC, EVA, polyurethane. Models made from these materials are lighter and more comfortable. I would like to separately note the products of ethylene vinyl acetate - EVA. They have excellent elasticity and elasticity, and also have antibacterial properties.
When buying, pay attention to the sole of the shale. It must be grooved to prevent slipping on the wet tile floor of the pool.
Models
The huge selection of models that exists in the sale has to get a pair of suitable shoes that can not be compared with any other in convenience. Consider more options for shoes for the pool and the beach.
