Pool Slides & Sandals

Of course! On decathlon.com.gr you will find a wide variety of pool slides, flip-flops, and sandals for men, women, and children, which are specially designed to offer you safety and comfort in wet swimming pool areas. All models are manufactured from lightweight, durable materials that do not retain water and dry quickly, while featuring specially engineered textured soles with grooves for superior grip, effectively protecting you.

Pool sandals are absolutely essential for your activities at the pool. They are very important for the safety and hygiene of your feet in the wet areas of the swimming center, while the specially designed soles of the sandals offer excellent grip on wet and slippery tiles around the pool and in the changing rooms. Furthermore, the heat and high humidity present in showers and communal areas pose a primary risk for the development and transmission of germs and fungi; therefore, pool slides act as a protective shield that keeps your feet clean and healthy during every training session.

The pool slides that offer maximum slip protection are those featuring a rubber sole or a special anti-slip EVA material, combined with deep textured grooves that disperse water and ensure reliable traction. Discover specialized models with certified slip resistance, which feature soles with geometric patterns or small suction cups on the bottom, ensuring top stability even on the smoothest, wet tiles of changing rooms and showers, so you can walk with absolute safety before and after your training.

The main difference lies in their design, usage, and the level of stability they offer to the foot. Pool slides are open footwear (flip-flops or slides) designed to be slipped on and off very easily, providing anti-slip protection and hygiene. Conversely, aqua shoes (water shoes) are closed footwear that fully wrap around the foot and fit securely thanks to their elastic materials, making them ideal for use inside the water, protecting you from sharp stones, rocks, or sea urchins in the sea, as well as from slipping during aqua aerobics or aqua fitness classes in the pool.

Of course! Find a wide variety of children's pool slides, flip-flops, and sandals specially designed for the safety and comfort of young swimmers. Children's models feature adjustable straps or an elastic grip at the back of the heel to fit perfectly and securely on the foot without slipping, while their soles are equipped with special anti-slip grooves that protect children from falls on wet pool tiles. Additionally, they are made of very lightweight materials that dry instantly and come in vibrant colors and designs that our little friends will love.

To effectively clean pool slides from mold and bacteria, wash them with lukewarm water and a mild antibacterial soap, or scrub them gently with a soft brush using a solution of water and white vinegar, which neutralizes odors and fungi without damaging their materials. After cleaning, it is extremely important to let them dry completely in a well-ventilated, shaded area before packing them back into your gym bag. To prevent the recurrence of germs, it is best to avoid leaving them wet inside the backpack and always rinse them with clean tap water after every training session at the pool.

If you find yourself between two sizes for pool slides, the best option is to opt for the larger size, as your foot needs a little extra space around the perimeter so it does not hang off the sole and remains fully protected. A slightly larger size ensures that the strap will not squeeze you when your feet are warm or slightly swollen after training, while also making it very easy to slip them on and off with wet feet in the changing rooms, offering you the maximum possible comfort and stability without the risk of your foot sliding out of the sandal.
