SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA (November 5, 2025) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — Fleks Footwear announced today that the San Ysidro Slide is included in the 2025 Oprah’s Favorite Things holiday gifts list featured on OprahDaily.com and in Oprah Daily’s special print 2025 Holiday Edition, on newsstands nationwide on November 11.

The San Ysidro Slide will be available for purchase at fleksfootwear.com, and on OprahDaily.com https://www.oprahdaily.com/oprahs-favorite-things-2025.

As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com, “This comfy slide is made from soft leather and even softer shearling that, because of subtle flaws, would otherwise end up in landfills. They’re stylish, sustainable, and, thanks to the sculpted arch that offers support, beyond comfortable.”

Oprah’s Favorite Things list is a must-have holiday shopping guide that features the most ingenious gadgets, fashionable sustainable goods, decadent desserts and the finest finds in home, fashion, and beauty. For nearly 30 years, the brand has showcased must-give gifts for the holidays, often serving as a launch pad for small businesses and highlighting the inspiring stories of the owners behind the products. 60% of the items on the 2025 OFT List are selected from small businesses.

Fleks Footwear is motivated by a responsibility to improve the footwear industry, proving that sustainability and performance can, and should, go hand-in-hand. The San Ysidro Slide (MSRP $120) makes the perfect fashionable, sustainably derived gift for any season, featuring Fleks’ signature state-of-the-art comfy FLEKSfoam. The lux leather sockliner and strap made of the softest shearling are both made from character leathers, referring to the subtle, natural marks that animal hides carry which are often rejected by big brands, leaving these pieces to waste away in warehouses or landfills. Fleks turns them into luxuriously comfortable, long-lasting shoes. The San Ysidro Slide comes in eight fabulous colors and is available in whole sizes, women’s 5 – 12/men’s 4 – 11. Additional features include:

• Upper: Genuine sheepskin
• Midsole: Fleks’ signature ergonomically sculpted midsole offers the trifecta of comfort – heel cup to help lock foot in place, sculpted arch that offers support, and toe bar to help keep your foot from sliding forward.
• Outsole: Signature FleksWave recycled EVA

Oprah Daily’s special print 2025 Holiday Edition featuring the San Ysidro Slide on the 2025 Oprah’s Favorite Things List hits newsstands nationwide on November 11.
