Flexibility

The soft foam sole of the Nike Benassi JDI Slide sandals ensures that you will get a flexible underfoot feeling that your feet will thank you for.

Overall, though, the soft and lightweight materials that make up the sandals allow for an amazing amount of flexibility while you are wearing them.

Outsole

The outsole of the Nike Benassi JDI Slide strap on sandals is made out of foam cushioning and a rubber bottom. The outsole has a textured design on the bottom to help ensure you have an adequate amount of traction when you are on the go.

The rubber sole can hold quite the grip on both wet and dry surfaces.

Midsole

The midsole of the Nike Benassi JDI Slide sandals is made out of lightweight foam to help ensure that your feet stay comfortable all day while you are wearing them, giving you a pleasant underfoot experience. The footbed also features a pleasant textured design that will help massage your feet a little with every step you take. The textured design, however, serves more than that one purpose.

Support

The Nike Benassi JDI Slide sandals offer a decent amount of support while you are wearing them. They do have some arch support which is very much appreciated. Some customers mentioned that they wished there was a bit more support to them, but for the most part their arches were happy with what they had available to them. When compared to other similar sandals on the market today, these shoes have a great deal of cushioning under the arches, mostly because many of the competitors simply do not have any support.

The adjustable strap also plays a huge roll in the support of these shoes. You are going to want to make sure that they fit you snuggly and securely and that strap will help you do that. As long as you have the proper fit, combined with the textured pattern inside the sandals, you will not have to worry about your feet slipping and sliding around inside of your shoes or having your feet potentially falling out of them.
