Most comfortable slides are just soft, and soft on its own stops being comfortable after an hour. Fleks built this one around the opposite idea: a sculpted footbed that actually holds the foot, with a shearling strap over the top so the bit touching you stays plush. It is the pair that ends up by the door because reaching for it takes no thought at all.

What is underneath is unusual too. The foam is reclaimed from the athletic footwear industry rather than made new, and the leather is what Fleks call Character Leather - hides with natural marks that most brands reject and leave to waste. Neither is a compromise on how it feels; both are the reason this costs what it does rather than more.

Features
  • Soft shearling strap across the forefoot
  • Sculpted Blumaka recycled foam midsole
  • Up to 85% recycled material by volume
  • Deep heel cup to hold the foot secure
  • Sculpted arch support for natural alignment
  • Subtle toe bar to stop forward sliding
  • Character Leather sockliner
  • FLEKSwave EVA outsole with 15% recycled content
Materials & Care
  • Strap: soft shearling
  • Sockliner: Character Leather
  • Midsole: sculpted Blumaka recycled foam, up to 85% recycled by volume
  • Outsole: FLEKSwave EVA with 15% recycled content
  • Care: brush the shearling with a soft brush once dry to lift the pile, and spot clean marks with a barely damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat. Never machine wash - it mats the shearling permanently.
Size & Fit
  • Women's US 5-16.
  • This style runs long. Fleks recommend sizing down if you are between sizes, and so do we - it is the most common reason a slide like this comes back.
  • The deep heel cup and toe bar hold the foot, so you should not need to grip with your toes to keep it on.
  • The foam softens to your shape over the first week while the sculpted structure underneath holds.
  • The shearling compresses slightly with wear, which is normal.

About The Brand

Fleks build recovery-minded comfort footwear out of Santa Barbara, and the East Beach Slide is where they started — named for the volleyball courts it was designed beside, and made for the walk back to the car afterwards. What separates them from every other foam slide is the foam itself: proprietary Blumaka, reclaimed from the athletic footwear industry's offcuts and rebuilt into a midsole that runs up to 85% recycled by volume. Their argument is that most casual footwear gets softness right and stops there, so they sculpt the midsole instead — deep heel cup, arch, toe bar — to actually hold the foot. At Mountain Sports we like that the recycled content is real rather than a badge, that everything they make is vegan, and that they are honest about being a comfort brand rather than a performance one.
