The popularity of slides in the United States started in the late 1960s, when vibrant, colorful aesthetics, such as cheery flower motifs, were followed. Though they are often thought to come from as far back as Ancient Egypt or Ancient Greece, but there is a lack of documentation to further prove that. Slides can be traced back to Ancient Rome. This happens because most people tend to tighten their toes to maintain better support and the pressure of the toes adds stress to the ankle area and the entire foot in general. Some studies show that frequent use seems to be the cause of a wide range of injuries and illnesses, such as cracks or fissures in the heels, plantar fasciitis, muscle inflammation or low back pain. Slippers can cause damage to the feet if they are made of sponges or materials on which sufficient checks have not been carried out, particularly if the wearer is allergic to certain types of fabrics. Slides are still designed to be light and comfortable, and to make the foot breathe easier when it's hot, just like flip flops. They are mainly used at the beach or at the swimming pool. They can be made with any type of material, from leather to fabric, through natural fibers to synthetic materials. Unlike slippers and mules, which are closed at the front, tap shoes are never closed at the front, they leave the toes visible and in the open air. Their uppers can be smooth and continuous or have fasteners, such as buckles or Velcro. They generally consist of a sole and a simple upper strap, the latter having the purpose of keeping them attached to the foot.

Slides do not have a вЂњYвЂќ shaped strap, like the flip-flop. The term is descriptive in that this shoe is easy to 'slide' on and off the foot when the wearer wants to do so.

They usually include a single strap or a sequence of straps across the toes and the lower half of the foot to hold the shoe on the foot. Bechler is also the author of six eBooks and has published two books including The Leadership Playbook: Become Your TeamвЂ™s Most Valuable Leader which was a #1 new release on Amazon for basketball coaching books.Slides can be high-heeled, flat-heeled or somewhere in between, and may cover nearly the entire foot from ankle to toe, or may have only one or two narrow straps.

He works with organizations and businesses throughout the country, including those from the Big 10 and the NBA. The host of the show, Jamy Bechler is a former college basketball coach and athletic director turned motivational speaker and leadership consultant.
