We noticed that the outsole felt slippery on certain indoor surfaces, like tile and hardwood floors. Cushioning: Cushioning is up to personal preference and foot-specific concerns, but we look for slides that are well-cushioned in the arch, heel, and throughout the footbed to offer enough comfort and support for hours of wear. We also pay special attention to whether they feel lightweight and bouncy or heavy and clunky.

And despite their trendy, chunky platform-style aesthetic, these slides are pretty lightweight.
