Slip into this summer’s hot slip-ons
They're half tennis shoe. Half ballet flat. And completely perfect for spring. Skimmers are — we're declaring it here — the official shoe of the season. It's easy to see why they're everywhere. The sweet slip-ons are cute but not cloying. They're simple but not boring. They're comfortable without looking heavy and athletic. And you can wear them with just about everything in your closet. On a dainty but sturdy rubber sole, skimmers are holding up the casual end of the flats revolution. The best part: Plenty of skimmers are inexpensive enough for you to build a collection. The shoes first packed a punch last summer, and now they've filtered down into every price point, from $15 to $300. Major designers are still putting them out there.
