Coral slippers

Holding a holiday in warm countries on the shores of the Red Sea or the Mediterranean Sea is a common form of recreation today. The basic set of swimsuit, sunglasses, pareo and suntan cream knows by heart any girl. But about slippers for corals - not everyone. Let's see what it is and how much it is necessary on vacation.

Why do you need such slippers?

Slippers for walking on corals - not quite the correct name for this shoe. Walking along them is not recommended either in shoes or without it, as these marine inhabitants grow very slowly (no more than 1 cm per year), and the structure is very brittle and brittle. So both sides will suffer from your contact.

In fact, slippers are needed to protect themselves not from the corals themselves, but from their waste of life, broken off sharp fragments and stones that can lie on the bottom. There is also such trouble as sea urchins. Their long pointed needles can seriously injure the foot with all the unpleasant consequences that result from it. Unfortunately, they will not be able to save slippers for corals completely - they will only reduce the damage a little.

Which slippers to choose?

Slippers are of two kinds: entirely of rubber, and combined with a cloth. Rubber slippers for corals are cheaper, but not so comfortable to wear. Soaked, they can rub and barely remove from their feet. Fabric models have a cloth top and a dense rubber sole. The cost goes a little more expensive, but more convenient to operate.

Pay attention must be and size - female coral slippers should sit tightly on the foot, so as not to fly when you swim, but do not squeeze the leg so that rest does not turn into torture.

Some models, for example, Adidas coral slippers (Adidas), have a slightly widening sock. It is supposed that this provides better protection to the toes. Whether this really matters or is just a marketing move - you can only test it in practice.

Where to buy?

It all depends on how often you expect to use them. In fact, these slippers will be comfortable and on the Black Sea coast - there are also stony or pebbly beaches. Ordinary rubber models can be bought at the place of rest - they are often sold in hotels or in markets. In Egypt, the average cost varies from 3 to 10 $ - depending on the ability to bargain.

Coral slippers from Adidas received in due time many positive reviews. Their top is made of nylon mesh, so the foot dries out faster. A rubber outsole has a certain shape for more stability in the water.
