When the weather heats up, comfy sandals become the obvious footwear choice. Sandals will naturally have more space than your regular shoe so be sure to take time to find your perfect size sandal. Nothing is worse than a loose-fitting sandal on a hot day – blister central! Measuring your feet and checking those size charts is not wasted time and can save you a lot of discomfort. Material plays a big role when it comes to finding the right pair of comfortable sandals for men you should always consider the type of terrain you’ll be walking on. Fields? Beaches? Cobbles? This will help you decide on the right type of material. We favour mule sandal when it comes to comfort, be sure to keep an eye out for a thick, cushioned footbed to avoid straining the arch and sole of your feet. Thick, adjustable straps are a sure-fire way to a comfortable fit.

A truly versatile sandal can take you from a summer’s day stroll to an evening date, and still leave you feeling comfortable, supported, and stylish.  If comfort is your goal, then be sure to keep a look out for the right type of foot base. Cork and suede are fantastic for moulding to the foot and giving a comfortable and secure grip for long time wear. If you’re going to be wearing your sandals all day then the best sandals for you could be sliders for the slip on and off ease, or perhaps consider an ankle strap if you’re feeling more active.
