The 15+ Best Sandals For Men 2023 – Best Summer Footwear for Men
With warmer weather here, it’s time to swap out boots and high-top trainers for sandals, the most laid-back footwear style. They’re cooler than your faux-fur lined slippers, and everyone from Seth Rogen to Justin Bieber wears them.
Two sandal schools remain for SS22. The utilitarian, web-strapped sandal looks great with a tonal sock. From the high street to Suicoke and Prada, this sandal exudes off-duty charm, best worn at home or on informal outings.
Then comes the classic leather sandal, the kind that makes you want to put on a linen shirt and arrange a vacation to distant Italy, done this season in chicer ways than ever by artisanal brands like Hereu and Ancient Greek Sandals. These designs look best sockless, so get a pedicure during the delivery window.
