the 5 Best Summer Shoes for Men

Memorial Day is next week, which means summer is officially here! We’ve curated this list of our top five favorite summer shoes for men to help you have a great kick off (pun intended) to the season:

1. Mesh sneakers and flats

They’re lightweight and breathable, making them great for summer attire. Example from Adidas

2.  Woven sandals and slip-ons

The woven design gives these shoes a textured look, plus added breathability. Examples from Nisolo and Vince.

3.  Retro Sneakers

Inspired by designs from the 60’s and 70’s, these tend to go with more natural materials and casual vibes, making them great for summer. Example from Vince.

4. Cross-strap leather sandals

A more elevated sandal that works well with summer fabrics like linen. This looks great when trying to elevate a more casual look. Example from Todd Snyder

 
Nomad Suede Crossover Sandal from Todd Snyder

5. Clogs and Mules

These typically feature an open heel, keeping them airy for summer. A great quality about these shoes is that you can easily slip them on and off. Examples from Birkenstock and Scarosso.

 
Boston Clog from Birkenstock

Remember that quality is key, particularly in the summertime when you’re trying to relax, recharge, and enjoy yourself without worrying about blisters or busted straps on your feet. Invest in a good pair (or pairs) of summer shoes and you’ll be able to enjoy the season in style.

Hope this helps.
