A walk on the beach makes everything better.

Not only does walking outside have proven benefits for mental and physical health, walking along the beach can provide a much-needed mood boost and reinvigorate you. The great thing about Canada is that we don’t have to go far to be near water or a beach – it has the largest coastline in the world, and tops the world for beaches.

Why not try barefoot walking on the beach? Walking barefoot gets our muscles working differently, leading to strengthened foot and leg muscles and improved balance and posture, further allowing our feet and gait to restore to their natural walking pattern; walking barefoot on the beach offers reduced stress and promotes relaxation, and is easy on the body.

Now is the time to allow our feet to be free and breathe. Summer is so short; make the best of it with these cute styles to get you to the beach or boardwalk or exploring areas new and old, wherever summer brings you.

Comfort slides for walking and lounging around all summer long…

OLUKAI Hila Women’s Beach Sandal are dreamy, cloud-like slides that allow you to spend all day slipping them on and off at the beach.

Cult fans of these ones, for good reason, FitFlop Women’s Mules truly do offer all-day comfort and support, even with a minimalist style. If you are going with a straight flip flop, go with one with an ergonomic footbed, the Iquishion FlipFlop.

For a foam feel and arch support, the KuaiLu Yoga Sandal offers the perfect accessory for summer yoga.

For a more sporty feel, Adidas Aqua Slides come in an array of fun colours and work well in and out of the water.

For pillow slides with incredible cushion, look no further than the Cushionaire Cloud Recovery Waterproof Slide with its flexible, non-slip, molded footbed.
