Why we love this deal

Thinking about taking a big vacation over spring break? Whether you're headed for the beach, flying overseas, or settling in for a quiet camping trip beside your favorite lake somewhere, you just want to be sure to remember to pack everything you'll need. Spring and summer are great opportunities to get away from our screens, give the eyes some rest, and commune with nature, whether that involves the ocean, the sun, the river, or lying silently on your back beneath a canvas of stars.

So while you're getting ready for the spring break of a lifetime, be sure to check retailers like Walmart for any great deals that might interest you — on sleeping bags, coolers, hiking boots, swim trunks and bikinis, snacks, Bluetooth speakers, and so on. You can save yourself a ton of money by shopping around, comparing prices, and doing a bit of due diligence to get something really worthwhile at a competitive price.

Right now, for instance, you can score a pair of Walmart's bestselling Athletic Works Tunnel-Slide Sandals for only $10. A comparable pair of Adidas slides might well cost you twice or even four times that much. You can look and feel just as good without a logo, knowing you didn't overspend, especially if you're living on a student's budget at the moment.

Athletic Works Tunnel-Slide Sandals, $10 at Walmart

Why do shoppers love it?

These open-toed slip-on sandals from Athletic Works are made with a 100% ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) upper, a 100% EVA outsole, and a 100% EVA insole, offering laid-back comfort and waterproofing for any occasion the day's adventures might call for. You can slide right in and out of them in an instant, and they fit true to size (U.S. men's standard), so you can safely order your normal shoe size online and know what you're getting ahead of time. They have a nice textured footbed, as well, so they won't come off unless you want them to.

They're lightweight, they won't mark up your flooring, and they're easy to wipe clean if you end up getting them a little dirty. They come in U.S. men's sizes ranging from 7 to 11.5 as well as colors like black, blue, cobalt, green, lime, white, off-white, and red. Pricing is pretty consistent from one option to the next, but some options are already sold out. Considering the popularity, we suggest adding a pair to your cart sooner rather than later.

Shoppers love the value proposition and sturdiness of these off-brand sandals, saying they hold up well and stay on properly even in extreme heat. "I've been wearing these for years," said one reviewer. "They're very comfortable, cushier than even much more expensive slides, and I wear them pretty much continuously around the house and outside on the patio. I also like that they're made in the U.S. with 75% domestic materials. They aren't the fanciest, but they do the job."
