Why Shower Shoes Are College Essentials

As a senior who’s lived in multiple dorm buildings, trust me – shower shoes are non-negotiable dorm room essentials. You’ll be sharing bathroom facilities with dozens of other students, and those shower floors have seen thousands of feet before yours. Athlete’s foot and other fungal infections spread easily in warm, moist environments. A simple pair of flip-flops or waterproof slides will protect your feet and give you peace of mind when using communal showers. Add these to your college essentials shopping list – your feet will thank you later.

Looking for recommendations? Basic rubber flip-flops are perfect. They’re cheap, dry quickly, and are easy to replace if needed.
