Men's Summer Footwear Guide 2026

Summer 2026 is all about footwear that works as hard as you do — whether you're heading to the beach, a rooftop bar, or just running errands in style. Here's your complete guide to the best men's summer footwear this season.

1. Cork Footbed Sandals — The Summer Essential

Cork sandals have officially crossed over from niche to mainstream, and for good reason. They're lightweight, naturally cushioning, and versatile. The cork footbed can become more comfortable with wear.

How to wear them: Pair with linen shorts and a plain tee for a clean, minimal look. Or dress them up with chino trousers and a linen shirt for a smart-casual summer outfit. Our men's cork footbed sandals come in sizes EU 36–46 and multiple colourways.

2. Monogram Slides — Make a Statement

If you want your footwear to do the talking, monogram and printed slides are your go-to. The bold all-over print adds personality to even the simplest outfit.

How to wear them: Keep the rest of your outfit clean and simple — white shorts, a plain black tee, or a solid-colour tracksuit. Let the slides be the focal point. Check out our monogram cork sandals for an elevated look.

3. Double Buckle Sandals — Elevated Casual

Double buckle sandals sit perfectly between casual and smart. The adjustable straps give you a secure fit, while the hardware detail adds a polished finish.

How to wear them: Try them with tailored shorts and a polo shirt for a polished summer look. Gold-tone buckles work especially well with earth tones — khaki, olive, and tan.

4. The Right Accessories Make the Outfit

Great footwear is only part of the equation. Complete your summer look with:

  • A quality watch — minimalist styles work well in summer
  • A pair of sunglasses — choose a style and lens specification that matches the individual product listing
  • A crossbody bag or backpack — hands-free and practical

5. How to Care for Your Summer Sandals

To keep your sandals looking fresh all season: wipe cork soles with a damp cloth, avoid prolonged water exposure, and store them in a cool dry place when not in use. Rotate between pairs to extend their lifespan.
