It’s often said that men are judged by their shoes. As a society, we’ve mutually accepted the idea that acceted men’s feet are gross. And the mere idea of a man wearing “mandals” has long-been deemed un-aesthetic, and even to some extent, a socially unacceptable faux pas.
But with fashion’s new-found embrace of bad taste over the past few years, it’s safe to say that the preconceived style rules have finally been swept under the rug. Neat, classic dress shoes have been ditched for casual and practical sneakers.
During the sweltering summer months, it’s nigh time to find an alternative to chunky dad sneakers. But there’s no need to over think: free your feet and get yourself a pair of comfy sandals.
Whether you’re into chic minimalism or sporty utilitarianism, we’ve rounded up the five best sandals to look drippy this August.
