Men's Sandals
Top Picks in Men's Sandals

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Sandals can keep you cool and comfortable, when the weather is unbearable. Yet, so many guys I know are sandal-phobic.

But trust me on this, whether or not you already know the joy of a flip-flop, there's a sandal on this list for every type of guy.

1. Reef Sandals - 'Leather Smoothy' for Men

Casual thongs with leather uppers, there's actually two reasons I'm featuring these shoes. The incredible reviews these sandals have received at Zappos.com. With nearly 90 reviews and an average of 5 out of 5 stars for looks, comfort and overall, they're obviously a crowd favorite. But I also wanted to mention the colors. It's so rare to see men's sandals in white that don't look "over the top," but here they are done right. They also come in lots of other colors and patterns as well.

2. Kenneth Cole Sandals - 'Monaco' Snake-Embossed Leather

Trendy and stylish, these men's sandals offer contemporary styling and masculine good looks. Gorgeous in off-white and stunning in tan, these shoes are very sleek, and a bit dressier than many of the styles on this list.

3. Dr. Martens 'Carlo' - Men's Sandals

Though thongs are hot, I realize for a lot of you, they're just "too" sandal-like. Instead, check out these triple-band sandals from Dr. Martens. With lightweight leather uppers, cushioned soles, and open backs, these men's sandals will look great on any guy.

4. Mark Nason 'Lars' Sandals

For true foot-freedom, a slide is the way to go. And they don't get much more hip than these stylish sandals from Mark Nason. I love the two-tone, distressed uppers, and the bits of hardware really add to the package.

5. Chaco Men's Sandals - 'ZX/1(r) Unaweep'

These extra-strappy men's sandals have a pull-through strap system that allows for total control over the middle of the foot -- and they just look cool! Completely casual, these sandals also feature soles that are ultra-lightweight, despite being very thick.
