TikTok has become a viral springboard for fashion trends that range from vague aesthetic (anything with a -core on the end of it) to hyper-specific micro trends. But while many of the touted fashions focus on style over substance, the rise of cloud slides is proof that sometimes it’s just about an item that feels amazing.

These puffy, cloud-like shoes, generally made from rubber or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (aka EVL), took off on TikTok, with popular influencers making videos that have racked up hundreds of thousands of views and likes discussing the shoes.
