The best men’s beach shoes every guy needs this summer

If you’re setting yourself up for a stylish beach season, you’re going to need a pair of shoes that meet the assignment. Here are our picks for the men’s beach shoes designed to help you hit the sand in style.


Summer sliders


First up is the classic slider. This one may not come as a surprise, but it’s for good reason: this staple is the cornerstone of any beach holiday.


Most will know that this style is incredibly comfortable, but it’s the beach-ready practicality that solidifies it as one of our favourite beachwear must-haves. Sand has nowhere to hide when you’re rocking these, and kicking them off so you can take a dip really couldn’t be any easier. A complete win as far as we’re concerned.

Beach loafers


On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, a casual pair of loafers provide a smarter option, albeit slightly less sand-proof. These are a shoe to reach for if the beach isn’t the only thing on your agenda. They look the part on sand, street, poolside resort, or cocktail bar. We suggest that if you’re leaning towards loafers for your beach day, opt for cupsole styles that have a slightly more laid-back appearance.

Suede mules


Sitting somewhere between sliders and loafers is the mule—a semi-formal, semi-casual style that blends the sophistication of a loafer with the throw-on practicality of a slider. This is one of those summer shoe styles that somehow goes with everything – so whether you’re in full beach-mode or transitioning to more of an evening-ready vibe, the footwear doesn’t need to change.
