Eight Summer Shoes For Every Guy

Skip navigation!

We think the weather has finally changed, for realsies this time. The flowers are blooming, couples are displaying obnoxious PDA in the street and bare legs are just about everywhere. While gals are rockin' sky-high wedges with their cut-offs, let's not forget about how dudes can switch it now that the boots are finally stowed away. It's time for some seersucker appropriate mocs, rooftop barbecue kicks, and the perfect boat shoes for our seaside jaunts, all in colors both crazy-bold and laid-back-neutral. We've dutifully hunted the city and picked our favorites dude shoes for every budget. So whether you're heading to Cape Cod or sunning on your local tar beach, we've got you guys covered.
