Sporty walking sandals with multiple adjustable straps remain a proper favourite for active men. But if that’s not what you’re after, leather flip-flops offer a smarter option for casual summer days. Slide sandals are also a great choice for lounging by the pool and sea.

If you're into outdoor activities, hiking sandals with sturdy soles will keep your feet comfortable on rugged trails. They’re fantastic for long-wear and support, making them perfect for hiking, walking, or just exploring nature. For a more relaxed look, you can’t go wrong with closed-toe sandals—they're super easy to wear and ideal for those casual days when comfort is key.

Sandals with contoured footbeds that follow the natural shape of your foot provide exceptional comfort. Look for styles with cushioned midsoles that absorb impact while walking, adjustable straps to prevent rubbing and lightweight materials that reduce fatigue during all-day wear. For those with specific foot concerns, consider sandals with deep heel cups for stability and proper arch support for alignment.

For an extra level of comfort, look for sandals with memory foam insoles that mould to your feet, making long walks feel much easier. Some styles also come with grippy soles, giving you better traction in wet conditions. Wide straps can help spread pressure more evenly, reducing the chance of sore feet after a full day out. With the right pair, you’ll stay comfortable and supported whatever you’re doing.

Men's sandals are brilliant for your summer wardrobe. For casual days, pair them with shorts and a crisp t-shirt or polo for an effortless look. They work a treat with linen trousers or chinos rolled slightly at the ankle for a relaxed yet put-together style. Dark leather sandals can even complement smart-casual outfits when worn with tailored shorts and a short-sleeve button-up. For beach days, wear them with swim shorts and a lightweight shirt.

When the weather cools down, you can still wear some styles of sandals with light socks for a simple, casual look. This works really well with thicker, knitted socks or cotton ones, giving you a bit of extra warmth while keeping things comfortable. Wearing sandals with socks during the colder months has become quite popular, offering a practical way to still enjoy your favourite sandals, even when it's a bit chillier outside.
