Everyone either owns or has owned a slide, sandal or even a slipper, at one point in their life. They’re sleek, they can definitely be dapper, and most of all refreshingly comfortable! So with Summer upon us, we figured it’s time for you to upgrade your shoefie game and get yourself ready for patio season (that’s finally upon us), park BBQs, and that bougie weeknight rooftop rendezvous! 😉

Editors’ Picks: Here’s our Top 15 High n’ Low Men’s Summer Slides/Flip-Flops and Sandals
13. HIGH: PRINCETOWN
Gucci, available at Nordstrom or Holt Renfrew Men
Ok ok, they’re neither a slide nor a sandal but these slippers are iconic and really making their mark in a gent’s summer swagger these days.
12. LOW: WILLISSS
Steve Madden
Going somewhere a little less casual but want something open, comfortable, and still looks slick? Pair the Madden WILLISSS with some tailored pieces for a stylish yet leisurely vibe. Aldo’s Mancot design is also even more similar to our high option above, for just a slightly higher price than these too.
4. LOW: GAVINN
Steve Madden
Going down to the patio to catch up with some friends? Throw on a pair of shorts, your favourite casual shirt (don’t forget to roll up the sleeves), and slip into these. The leather material gives it that sleek look and the rubber outsole makes it comfortable for street use. Best yet, they come in black, brown, & white leather.
2. LOW: ESSENTIALS ARIZONA
Birkenstock, available at Nordstrom
Planning an afternoon with the family and want the freedom to move comfortably (especially if you’re chasing little ones around) Birkenstock has you covered. The rubber-like texture with adjustable straps will keep you moving. Bonus feature: they’re waterproof! Just in case a water balloon fight breaks out.
1. HIGH: TRACK SANDAL
Balenciaga, available at Nordstrom
How do you do summer BBQs while staying comfortable? Think chunky sneaker but for the summer…and without the sweaty toes of course. The rich texture brings energy and movement to this ultra-sporty sandal.
