No matter where your preferences land on the Toes Out spectrum, the best sandals for men will persuade you to embrace a barely-there summer slip-on. Why? Simple: we're living through a golden age of sandals. It started with Birkenstocks, then Crocs, then Keens, then we reeled it back into more dignified waters with fisherman sandals. And if the current craze for flip-flops isn’t proof enough that sandals have reached a fever pitch, we don’t know what to tell you.
Sandals have more range these days than you remember. They span from fuddy-duddy dad sandals (the ones he wears unironically with socks) to refined leather sandals that look better with dress pants than cargo shorts to the gauche, off-kilter joints favored by the freakiest of fashion enjoyers. If you’re open to sandals, there’s a pair for you. So we put all of our feet together and looked at as many sandals as we could, tested each one for good measure, and distilled them down to the best of the best.
