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.
There are two very good reasons that these casual thongs made my list: the way they look, and the striking number of positive reviews they've received at Zappos.com. With more than 150 reviews, 70 percent of the customers rated these sandals of 5 out of 5 stars for looks, comfort and overall -- so they're obviously a crowd favorite. But like I said, I also love the way these sandals look. They're simple, they're versatile, and they're available in black craq leather, brown leather, and gorgeous brown nubuck.
Trendy and stylish, these men's sandals offer contemporary styling and masculine good looks. Gorgeous in black and stunning in rich brown, these shoes are very sleek, and while they're still not office-ready, they are a bit dressier than many of the styles on this list.
Though thongs are hot, I realize for a lot of you, they're just "too" sandal-like. Instead, check out these woven slide sandals from To Boot New York. With smooth leather uppers, linings and insoles, these men's sandals come in black or brown, and will look great on any guy.
For true foot-freedom, a slide is the way to go. And they don't get much more hip than these stylish, simple sandals from Cole Haan. I love center seam on the uppers, and the Nike Air(R) technology totally adds to the package.
For the rugged, outdoorsy type, Keen sandals are an awesome choice -- and thanks to their patent-pending toe guards, they're also ideal for guys who don't want to show their toes. With multiple straps, lug outsoles, and hydrophobic foam linings, the 'Newport H2' is actually more of a hybrid between sandals and boots. It's also one of the brand's most popular styles, and as such, it comes in a staggering array of colors and sizes.
