Flip-flops are what people often call flip-flops. When choosing flip-flops, people should pay attention to choosing a pair of good quality products, otherwise they will wear their feet or break their feet after wearing them for a short time, which will greatly affect their use.
When choosing flip-flops, pay attention to the following points:
1. Weight of the sole
Flip-flops are composed of two supporting laces and a sole. The laces are supported by a toe and bear the entire weight of the shoe. If the sole of the flip-flop is too heavy, not only will walking be very tiring, but the toe will be under too much force, which can easily scratch the skin.
2. Sole material
There are many materials for the soles of flip-flops, mainly resin plastics, PVC, EVA, rubber, etc. It is generally recommended to choose rubber EVA material, which is a combination of rubber tree and EVA. It has both the anti-slip property of rubber and the softness of EVA. This material is used more frequently in shoes, but the price is not much more expensive than other materials; resin plastic is a kind of plastic, which feels very hard, is very uncomfortable to wear on the feet, and is easy to wear; try not to choose PVC material that is large and not easy to move, and PVC material is the most commonly used recycled material in China; it is not recommended to use pure rubber material, which is still too heavy; it is not recommended to use EVA, which has poor support and anti-slip properties.
3. Sole production
It is best to use a double-layer sole for the sole of flip-flops. Due to the high frequency of use outdoors and water sources, the sole that contacts the foot is made of a relatively soft material, and the sole that contacts the ground is made of anti-slip, anti-puncture, wear-resistant rubber patches and other materials. This combination can not only maintain the comfort of the feet, but also ensure the safety of outdoor wear. If the rivets on the double-layer sole can be covered, the firmness and beauty of the shoelaces can be increased.
4. Shoelace design
The width of the flip-flops should not be too narrow. The wider the shoelaces, the larger the force area, and the less likely it is to damage the skin; if the friction force is too large, the friction resistance of the shoelace material is large, which is easy to damage the skin; the cross seams of the two shoelaces should be soft, strong, and burr-free, otherwise it is easy to scratch the toes when walking; the double rivets of the flip-flops are more secure, which can effectively prevent the rivets from falling off or the shoelaces from breaking.
5. Is there any odor
No matter what kind of slippers, as long as there is a pungent smell, you can't buy it. This is an iron rule. Flip-flops with pungent smells either have excessive formaldehyde or recycled materials with added fragrances, which are harmful to health.
