With warmer weather officially within reach, the debate on when the ideal kickoff of sandal season is in full swing. Arguably one of the most freeing seasons for your feet (you’ve got to let those toes breathe), it’s important to invest in a quality pair of sandals that can stand the test of time.
When it comes to men’s sandals, however, it’s easy to unknowingly enter “dad territory.” Most men’s sandal options today aren’t the most fashion-forward and aesthetically pleasing, with so many featuring frumpy silhouettes and chunky soles.
To ensure that you give your feet some breathing time while staying on-trend, we’ve compiled a list of eight men’s sandals available from retailers like Dr. Martens, Nike, Birkenstock and more that will add a modern touch to your warm-weather looks.
Before getting into the details of what makes each sandal worth the purchase, check out the full list below, separated into eight categories:
