As a result of a more relaxed attitude, casual footwear, such as trainers for men, women, and children, has grown in popularity.
This casualization trend, however, does not end with trainers; with warmer weather in recent years, many people have switched to flip flops during the summers. This has reignited the debate over whether it is socially acceptable for men to wear open-toed shoes in public.
Celebrities like David Beckham and Justin Bieber have been seen wearing open-toed shoes on a daily basis, giving rise to their popularity among the general public as well. Many well-known footwear manufacturers have responded to this trend by releasing stylish slides that can be worn on and off the beach.
