Neemans Slides, Sandals and Loafers August 2026: What to Buy

Three hundred and thirty-nine rupees, sixty-two per cent off a stated Rs. 899, and there is nothing cheaper in the 309 non-sneaker products we read. This is a bathroom-and-balcony flip flop and it is worth being plain about what that means: a single-density moulded sole with a toe post, the kind of thing you keep by the door, wear to take the bins out and replace when the strap goes. At Rs. 339 that is a sensible purchase and nobody needs to agonise over it. What it is not is a walking shoe. A flat moulded sole gives you no arch support and no cushioning to speak of, and if you are on your feet for an hour it will tell. Neemans sells this in a women's fit in green; the men's equivalents in this chapter start at Rs. 399. If you want one pair of flip flops that can also handle a walk to the shops, skip to the Cushers at Rs. 799 further down - the gap is four hundred and sixty rupees and it buys a genuinely different amount of foam. Neemans's feed publishes no ratings or review counts, so nothing on this page carries a rating pill.

Three hundred and ninety-nine rupees, forty-three per cent off Rs. 699. Six colourways exist - ash black, fusion blue, olive green, cream brown, coal black and basalt brown - and all six are Rs. 399 with the same badge, which is the first instance on this page of a pattern that runs right through the range: within a style, colour is free. That is not universal in Indian footwear and it is worth checking wherever you shop, because we have repeatedly found ranges where the colourway quietly moves the price. Here it does not, so pick the colour you want. As a product this is the straightforward house slipper, a step up in strap comfort from the Rs. 339 All Vibes and still firmly in the indoor category. The honest comparison to make is not against the All Vibes but against the Eco Flip in the next card, which is a hundred rupees more and made from recycled material - if the sustainability angle is why you came to Neemans, that hundred rupees is the whole decision.

Four hundred and ninety-nine rupees, thirty-eight per cent off Rs. 799, and note that this is the shallowest discount in this chapter while being neither the cheapest nor the dearest product in it - a first sign that the badge here is not tracking value in any readable way. Six colourways, all at Rs. 499. Neemans built its name on sustainable materials, and the Eco line is where that claim lives most directly in the cheap end of the catalogue. We can tell you what the listing says - recycled-material construction - and we are not in a position to audit the recycled content or its provenance, so we will not repeat a percentage we cannot verify. What we can say is what it costs you: a hundred rupees over the Classic Slippers, which is the cleanest like-for-like sustainability premium in the range and a small enough number that if the material matters to you at all, this is the one to buy. There is also an Eco Flips 2.0 in the feed at Rs. 699 carrying no discount at all, which is the newer version of this shoe at two hundred rupees more.

• Price: Rs. 499 (stated MRP Rs. 799)

Seven hundred and ninety-nine rupees, fifty-three per cent off Rs. 1,699, and this is the flip flop we would actually buy out of this chapter. The Cushers range is the cushioned tier - a thicker, softer moulded footbed instead of the flat slab under the Rs. 339 and Rs. 399 pairs - and that difference is the one that decides whether a flip flop is an indoor object or something you can wear to the market and back. Sixteen colourways exist across the men's and women's lines, and all sixteen are Rs. 799. This is also the price point where flip flops and slides overlap in this catalogue: the Cushers Slides, the same cushioning in a strap-over-the-foot shape rather than a toe post, are also Rs. 799. If you dislike a toe post, or if you want something you can push your foot into without bending down, the slide is the same purchase in a better shape and it sits in the next chapter. Neemans's discount here is fifty-three per cent against thirty-eight on the Eco Flip; both are the same brand, the same month, the same shelf.

• Price: Rs. 799 (stated MRP Rs. 1,699)
• Key detail: Cushioned flip flop - 16 colourways across men's and women's, all Rs. 799

Five hundred and ninety-nine rupees, fifty-seven per cent off a stated Rs. 1,399, in five colourways all at the same price. A slide is a flip flop without the toe post: one wide strap across the foot, nothing between the toes. For a lot of people that is simply more comfortable, and it is meaningfully better in the monsoon, because a wet toe post rubs. This is the cheapest way into that shape here. But the reason we have seated it first is the card immediately below. The De-Stress Slides are also Rs. 599 - the same money, to the rupee - against a stated MRP of Rs. 1,899 rather than Rs. 1,399. Same brand, same category, same checkout price, and one carries a fifty-seven per cent badge while the other carries sixty-eight. Whatever those two stated MRPs are doing, they are not helping you choose between two shoes that cost you exactly the same amount. That is the single most useful thing to understand about shopping this range, and it repeats at Rs. 1,299 and again at Rs. 1,499 further down.

• Price: Rs. 599 (stated MRP Rs. 1,399)
• Key detail: Slide, recycled-material strap - five colourways at Rs. 599

Five hundred and ninety-nine rupees, sixty-eight per cent off a stated Rs. 1,899. It is the same five hundred and ninety-nine rupees as the Eco Slide above. The eleven-point difference in the badge comes entirely from the stated MRP, which is five hundred rupees higher, and not from anything you pay or receive. We are not alleging anything improper - a brand sets its own reference prices and there is nothing unusual about two products in one range carrying different ones - but the practical consequence is worth stating flatly: at this price point the discount percentage carries no information you can act on. So choose on the shoe. The De-Stress has a contoured footbed, meaning the sole is moulded with a raised arch and a slight heel cup rather than being flat, which most people find better for standing and walking and some people with high arches find worse. The Eco Slide is flatter and made of recycled material. Four colourways here, all Rs. 599. If you want the middle option, the Squooshy at Rs. 649 is next.

• Price: Rs. 599 (stated MRP Rs. 1,899)
• Key detail: Contoured-footbed slide - same Rs. 599 as the Eco Slide, Rs. 500 higher MRP
• Discount: 68% off, which is Rs. 1,300

Six hundred and forty-nine rupees, sixty-three per cent off Rs. 1,749, in six colourways at one price. Fifty rupees separates this from the two Rs. 599 slides above and about a hundred and fifty separates it from the Cushers Slides at Rs. 799, which is the whole spread of the mainstream slide range - five hundred and ninety-nine to seven hundred and ninety-nine rupees, covering something like forty distinct products. When a category is that tightly banded, the price genuinely stops being a decision and the only sensible basis left is shape and feel. Squooshy is the softest foam of the three: more give underfoot, which reads as comfortable in a shop and can read as unsupportive by the end of a long day, and that trade is a real one rather than marketing. Softer foam also compresses faster over the life of the shoe. If you want maximum cushioning at this end of the catalogue, this is it; if you want the sole to still be there in eighteen months, the contoured De-Stress at Rs. 599 is the more durable shape.

• Price: Rs. 649 (stated MRP Rs. 1,749)
• Key detail: Soft-foam slide - six colourways at Rs. 649

One thousand two hundred and ninety-nine rupees against a stated MRP of one thousand two hundred and ninety-nine rupees. No discount, and we have seated it precisely because it is the honest counterweight to every large badge on this page. High Sprout is Neemans's newer premium slide line, and across the feed we found its models - the Knitro, the Glideway, the Evoque, the Cush, the Soother at Rs. 1,099 - listed at their MRP with no reduction, the single exception being the Sensa at thirteen per cent. So there is a whole sub-brand here that simply does not discount, sitting in the same category as slides carrying sixty-eight per cent badges. Read the two facts together and the conclusion is not that the High Sprout is a bad deal; it is that in this catalogue the size of the discount tells you which line a product belongs to and roughly how long it has been on sale, and almost nothing about whether it is worth the money. What you are paying here is Rs. 1,299 for a knit-upper slide, which is twice the Squooshy and about the same as the Cloud Flex slip-on two chapters down.

• Price: Rs. 1,299 (stated MRP Rs. 1,299)
• Key detail: Knit-upper slide from the High Sprout line - listed at MRP, no discount

Seven hundred and ninety-nine rupees, fifty-six per cent off Rs. 1,799. The distinction between a slide and a sandal matters more than the names suggest, and this is where the range crosses it. A slide holds your foot with one strap and relies on your toes gripping to keep it on; a sandal with cross straps or a back strap actually secures the foot, which is what makes it viable for walking any real distance, for uneven ground and for anything where a shoe coming off would be a problem. If you are buying one pair for a trip, buy from this chapter rather than the last one. At Rs. 799 this is the cheapest entry, and it is the same price as the Cushers Flips - so within this catalogue, eight hundred rupees buys either a very good flip flop or a basic sandal, which is a genuinely useful way to frame the choice. Knit uppers breathe well and dry fast, both of which matter in an Indian monsoon, and they hold dirt more than a smooth synthetic strap does.

• Price: Rs. 799 (stated MRP Rs. 1,799)
• Key detail: Cross-strap knit sandal - the cheapest sandal in the range
• Discount: 56% off, which is Rs. 1,000

• Buying logic: where sandals start

Eight hundred and ninety-nine rupees, sixty-three per cent off Rs. 2,399, in three colourways at one price. A hundred rupees over the Cross Knit, and what the hundred rupees buys is padding on the straps, which is the thing that decides whether a sandal is comfortable on day three of wearing it rather than on the first ten minutes. Strap padding is unglamorous and it is the most common reason a cheap sandal ends up unworn. This is the pick from this chapter for most people: enough structure to walk in, enough padding not to rub, and at Rs. 899 it is a third of what the Cork Sandals at the end of this chapter cost. Two honest limits. Fluff or padded straps take longer to dry than a plain synthetic strap, which is a real consideration if you are buying for heavy rain rather than for travel. And Neemans publishes no ratings or review counts anywhere in its feed, so we have no aggregate view of how these hold up - what we have is a price, a construction and a category.

• Price: Rs. 899 (stated MRP Rs. 2,399)
• Key detail: Padded strap sandal - three colourways at Rs. 899
• Discount: 63% off, which is Rs. 1,500

• Buying logic: travel and long days

One thousand and forty-nine rupees, fifty-two per cent off Rs. 2,199, in three colourways. This is the sandal in the range that will look least like a sports sandal, which is the entire reason to pay a hundred and fifty rupees over the Breezy Fluff. Two plain straps, no logo-forward moulding, no contrast padding - it reads closer to a leather-style sandal than to something you would wear to the gym, and it is the only thing in this chapter you could plausibly wear with linen trousers to dinner. Whether that is worth a hundred and fifty rupees is a wardrobe question rather than a footwear one. What you give up is the padding: minimal straps rub more, particularly when new and particularly when wet, and this is a sandal to break in before a long day rather than to take straight out of the box on a trip. The name is doing accurate work for once. If you want the versatile look with a genuinely supportive footbed underneath it, the Cork Sandals below are the upgrade, at seven hundred and fifty rupees more.

• Price: Rs. 1,049 (stated MRP Rs. 2,199)
• Key detail: Two-strap minimal sandal - three colourways at Rs. 1,049
• Discount: 52% off, which is Rs. 1,150

One thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine rupees, forty per cent off Rs. 2,999, in four colourways. It is twice the price of the Breezy Fluff and it is the only sandal in the range built on a cork footbed, which is what you are paying for. Cork compresses gradually under heat and pressure and takes on the shape of the wearer's foot over the first few weeks, so a cork footbed is uncomfortable-to-neutral when new and then becomes specifically yours - it is the mechanism behind the whole moulded-footbed sandal category. Two consequences worth knowing before you spend Rs. 1,799. It needs a break-in period, so this is not the sandal to buy the day before a holiday. And because it moulds to one foot, it is the pick in this chapter least suited to being shared or handed on. Cork also does not love prolonged soaking, which makes this a dry-season and travel sandal rather than a monsoon one - for heavy rain the Rs. 799 Cross Knit is the more sensible shoe and it costs a thousand rupees less.

• Price: Rs. 1,799 (stated MRP Rs. 2,999)
• Key detail: Cork-footbed sandal - the most expensive sandal here, four colourways
• Discount: 40% off, which is Rs. 1,200

Nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees, seventy per cent off a stated Rs. 3,299, and it is the cheapest way into a closed shoe outside the sneaker range. A slip-on is a shoe with no laces and an elasticated or stretch-knit collar you push your foot into, and in an Indian context it earns its keep for a specific reason beyond convenience: it comes off at the door in one movement, which if you are in and out of homes and temples all day is not a small thing. Knit uppers breathe, which matters between April and October, and they wash better than leather does. What Rs. 999 does not buy is a substantial sole. This is a thin-soled shoe, fine for a commute and an office floor, less good for a day of walking on concrete, and that is the difference between this and the Rs. 1,299 pairs below it. It is also the point in this catalogue where the stated MRPs get hard to take at face value: a seventy per cent badge on a Rs. 999 shoe implies a Rs. 3,299 reference price that we have no way to verify and would not lean on.

• Price: Rs. 999 (stated MRP Rs. 3,299)
• Key detail: Knit slip-on - the cheapest closed shoe in the non-sneaker range
• Discount: 70% off, which is Rs. 2,300

• Role: Cheapest closed shoe
• Buying logic: commute and indoors

One thousand two hundred and ninety-nine rupees, fifty per cent off a stated Rs. 2,599. Rs. 1,299 is the single busiest price in this catalogue - we counted more than a dozen distinct slip-on models sitting on it - and this is the one we would pick from that crowd for general use. What separates it from the Rs. 999 Everyday Basic is sole depth: more foam underfoot, which is what turns a shoe you can stand in into a shoe you can walk in for a couple of hours. The knit upper is the same general idea, breathable and flexible, and it comes in ivory brown, grey, olive, white, black and a women's line in ivory and lime, all at Rs. 1,299. Now hold that number and read the next card, because the Grip Fit is also Rs. 1,299 and carries a sixty-eight per cent badge against this shoe's fifty. The difference is entirely in the stated MRP - Rs. 3,999 against Rs. 2,599 - and not in a single rupee you pay. This is the clearest example on the page of why the badge cannot rank two products in this range.

• Price: Rs. 1,299 (stated MRP Rs. 2,599)

One thousand two hundred and ninety-nine rupees, sixty-eight per cent off a stated Rs. 3,999. Same checkout price as the Cloud Flex above, eighteen more percentage points of badge, and the entire difference sits in a stated MRP that is fourteen hundred rupees higher. If you were sorting this category by discount, this shoe would appear to be a substantially better deal than the one above it, and it would cost you exactly the same. That is the whole argument of this page in one comparison. So what actually distinguishes it: the sole. Grip Fit is the tread-focused model in the slip-on line, with a patterned outsole aimed at wet surfaces, which is a genuine functional difference from the Cloud Flex's flatter sole and a genuinely useful one in monsoon months. If you are buying a slip-on to wear in the rain, buy this one. If you are buying for a dry commute and an office, the Cloud Flex's deeper cushioning is the better use of the same Rs. 1,299. Three colourways here at one price. Choose on the sole, because the price and the brand are constants.

• Price: Rs. 1,299 (stated MRP Rs. 3,999)
• Key detail: Grip-sole slip-on - same Rs. 1,299 as the Cloud Flex, Rs. 1,400 higher MRP

One thousand six hundred and ninety-nine rupees, twenty-three per cent off Rs. 2,199, and it closes this chapter by showing where the pattern breaks. In a category where seventy per cent badges are ordinary, this one carries twenty-three, and its stated MRP of Rs. 2,199 is the most modest in the chapter by a wide margin - the Grip Fit claims Rs. 3,999 and the Everyday Basic Rs. 3,299 while costing you less than this shoe does. Read across those three and the stated MRPs plainly are not sitting on a common scale. Our reading, offered as a reading rather than a finding, is that the older and more heavily promoted a model is, the higher its reference price has drifted and the larger its badge has grown, while newer or quieter lines - this one, the whole High Sprout range in chapter two - sit near their actual price with little or no discount. What you get for Rs. 1,699 is the most substantial slip-on in the range, four colourways, a firmer and more structured build than the Rs. 1,299 pairs. Whether that structure is worth four hundred rupees is a fair question; the badge will not answer it.

• Price: Rs. 1,699 (stated MRP Rs. 2,199)
• Key detail: Slip-on at the top of the tier - the shallowest badge on a closed shoe here
• Discount: 23% off, which is Rs. 500

• Role: Where the badge runs out
• Buying logic: newer line, honest price

Nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees against a stated Rs. 3,699 - seventy-three per cent, and it is the deepest discount on any of the 309 non-sneaker products we read. It is also, at Rs. 999, the cheapest loafer in the range, which makes it the obvious opening to this chapter and a fair test of how much the badge is worth. A Rs. 3,699 reference price on a shoe now selling at Rs. 999 is a claim we can report and cannot verify, and the useful response is to ignore it and ask whether Rs. 999 is a fair price for this shoe. We think it is: a loafer is a closed slip-on with a more formal last and finish, and a thousand rupees for one is genuinely cheap in the Indian market. Three colourways exist, all at Rs. 999. The caveat is construction - at this price the upper will be a synthetic or knit rather than leather, and it will read as smart-casual rather than formal. For an office with a relaxed dress code it works. For a wedding or a court appearance it does not, and no shoe in this catalogue does.

• Price: Rs. 999 (stated MRP Rs. 3,699)
• Key detail: Loafer - the deepest stated discount in the whole non-sneaker range

One thousand four hundred and ninety-nine rupees, sixty-five per cent off a stated Rs. 4,299. Rs. 1,499 is the most crowded price in the loafer category by some distance - the Brunch, the Block Heel, the All-Purpose, the Dress, the ReLive Knit Color Block, the Weave and the Knit Grace all sit on it, along with several colourway variants, which is close to a dozen distinct shoes at one number. Their stated MRPs run from Rs. 2,099 to Rs. 4,999 and their badges from twenty-nine to seventy per cent, and every one of them costs you fourteen hundred and ninety-nine rupees. There is no version of that in which the discount percentage is a useful sorting tool. We would take the Brunch out of the group: it is the most conventionally shaped of them, a clean two-tone in navy and tan that works with chinos and with jeans, and the least likely to look like a novelty in two years. The Dress Loafers at the same price are the more formal alternative if you need one, and the Block Heel is a women's raised-sole cut. Choose on shape and colour. The money is identical.

One thousand four hundred and ninety-nine rupees, twenty-nine per cent off Rs. 2,099. The same fourteen hundred and ninety-nine rupees as the Brunch Loafers directly above, whose badge reads sixty-five per cent because its stated MRP is Rs. 4,299 rather than Rs. 2,099. Thirty-six percentage points of apparent difference, zero rupees of actual difference. We have now shown this three times on this page - at Rs. 599 in the slides, at Rs. 1,299 in the slip-ons and here at Rs. 1,499 - because it is the one thing a shopper needs to carry into this catalogue, and because seeing it once looks like a quirk while seeing it three times is a description of how the range is priced. On the shoe itself: this is a women's knit loafer in a softer, more flexible construction than the Brunch, available in black, ivory, rose and beige at Rs. 1,499. Knit uppers give more than synthetic ones, which suits wider feet and makes them more comfortable straight out of the box, and they are less formal. If your feet are between sizes, the knit is the more forgiving buy.

• Price: Rs. 1,499 (stated MRP Rs. 2,099)

One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees, thirty-three per cent off Rs. 2,999, in five colourways at one price. This is the most expensive product on this page, and the fact that the ceiling of an entire twenty-pick range sits under two thousand rupees is the honest summary of where Neemans plays: this is a value catalogue, and the interesting decisions in it are all made between Rs. 399 and Rs. 1,999. ReLive is the brand's recycled-knit construction, so this is the sustainability line carried up into the smartest shape it makes, and at Rs. 1,999 the premium over the Rs. 1,499 loafers is five hundred rupees. Note the badge: thirty-three per cent, less than half what the Rs. 999 Color Block claims, on a shoe that costs a thousand rupees more. Consistent with everything else on this page, and by now unsurprising. If you want one closed shoe out of this entire read that will go to an office, a dinner and a weekend without looking wrong at any of them, this is it, and the Rs. 1,499 Brunch is the same idea for five hundred rupees less in a less sustainable material. Neemans publishes no ratings, so that judgement is about construction and shape, not about durability data we do not have.
