Summer's here and that means we're all searching for the nearest body of water to lay beside or plunge into for a refreshing dip. These superb sandals are a gift from the gods (a.k.a. the J. Crew design team) that finally solve an age-old fashion conundrum: searching for rugged, waterproof slides for the beach or pool that are also actually cute. That problem ends now! Crafted from ultra-lightweight and soft EVA foam, they feature a molded footbed that makes them super comfortable. The brilliant choice of EVA makes them fully waterproof, washable and easy on the feet (EVA is naturally flexible and molds to the foot, making it popular for sports shoes). All these amazing traits make them absolutely perfect for poolside lounging or trips to the beach! Plus they look fantastic--chic and elegant. The simple cross-strap design is very fashionable and gives these a minimalist flair. In fact, with their refined vibe these won't look out of place paired with a summer dress or flowy swimsuit cover-up. Functional AND beautiful, these will be your go-to for resort vacations and hot summer afternoons relaxing by the pool. They are brand new and have never been worn! There are a few very faint marks throughout, but they came this way and it's all quite subtle. It's natural for EVA to develop a light patina from little indentations in the foam.
