A better wardrobe for men’s clothes – cool, comfortable and stylish – can happen even in the most unexpected stages.
For example, the tried and true sandal is now getting a boost from some of your favorite brands, leading to a roundup of the best slides for men.
Look beyond the beach store or bargain bin for a pair of stylish men’s slides made with comfort, durability and value in mind.
The best men’s slides can handle the demands of a slippery pool deck, a sandy boardwalk, a breezy day on the water and of course, hours at the beach.
The good news is, there are options made with ergonomic comfort and premium materials. There are also plain old slides made without noise or frills.
In my experience, you won’t get far on the beach without a set of the best slides for men – like these options.
OLUKAI Maha ‘olu Sandal Slide
Usually known for cute leather sandals and slides that you can dress up or down, OLUKAI tried their hand at a supportive work-style slide – which looks right at home with tailored swim trunks and a terry cloth polo this season.
The oversized footbed is just what you need for long days in the sun.
Under Armor Ignite Pro Slides
Looking for a pair of super affordable slides that still deliver the rebound, grip and comfort you desire? Under Armor has you covered, what with the memory foam footbed and subtly textured outsole to carry you from the pool deck to the swim-up bar with ease and a little style in mind.
OOFOS OOahh Slide
I’ve tried many pairs of sandals and slides, but nothing has tied with the support of OOFOS.
They’re more than a functional recovery pair of slides: I’ve worn mine to climb rocks on the beach to a stray beach bar, and they’ve held up admirably.
Make sure they also work well next to your nearby pool deck.
Lululemon Restfeel Slides
Lululemon’s mission to take over your closet continues with Restfeel, a popular workout brand designed to comfort your feet between gym sessions.
The rest of the time, the grippy rubber outsole provides traction on slippery decks, while the dual-density cushioning provides excellent support.
Nike Benassi Slides
Nike may have you covered in the gym and out on the open road to pursue your workout, but its trusty slides give you a dash of sporty summer style.
A modified, textile-encased rubber sole offers plenty of comfort, while a bold Nike logo adds character to the shoe’s sole for a stylish look that’s instantly recognizable.
REEF One Slides
REEF sandals need no introduction, perhaps least of all for its flagship One model, which packs an impressive array of features into one silhouette.
These slides are waterproof and machine-washable, yet they’re the naturally exposed surface for my feet when I get in these days on the water.
OLUKAI Komo Slide
OLUKAI’s Hawaiian roots make the brand a natural in producing some of the best slides for men, and that includes the stylish Komo Slides.
The pointed sandal strap has an attractive puffer design, while the outsole draws on sporty sneaker technology for maximum comfort underfoot.
Adidas Adissage Slides
Adidas’ three lines are pretty much everywhere when it comes to the best slides for men, and the classics remain classics for a reason. These boast a sporty logo, a very affordable price tag and a footbed made with massage nubs for a more comfortable ride underfoot.
