Letting your feet feel free is on the menu for spring. We’re talking about sandals. So, as long as you don’t look like a grandpa wearing the wrong pair of them with black socks, you shouldn’t be afraid to rock them all season long. The right pair is breezy, fun, and will work with a number of clothing options. Let’s look at the best sandals for spring, so that your feet can have some fun this season.
Birkenstock Arizona EVA Sandal
A classic sandal that never goes out of style. It’s the Birkenstock Arizona EVA Sandal. The EVA part is a type of stretchy plastic, and elevates this old-school style to a new appeal. They usually make the soles of sneakers out of this combination of vinyl acetate and ethylene. The benefit is that this pair is lightweight and waterproof for all your days at the beach or pool. Get this pair in black, it’s the only way to go.
Santoni Suede Monk-Strap Slides
A slide is one of the easiest types of sandals to wear, especially if you can’t tolerate the feel of flip-flops or thongs between your toes. The suede material elevates this pair of Santoni Suede Monk-Strap Slides to perfection. In a rich brown, handcrafted in Italy, these sandals have two buckles on the sides in a gold-tone that’s classic and modern at the same time. They are inspired by the same pair that monks used to wear and were invented in the early 20th century by bespoke shoemakers in Europe.
Officine Creative Black Angora Suede Slides
Another classic slide on the list that will take you through many seasons is the Officine Creative Black Angora Suede Slides. These are luxury with an interesting crossover strap that will look different than any other sandals you own. The unique molded footbed is like walking on a cloud with a serrated rubber sole for extra comfort and shock absorption as you traverse the city on a lovely spring day.
LUCA Dune Sandal
A traditional flip-flop style arrives in this Luca Dun Sandal. With a beachy vibe that’s as casual as it is cool, this pair is the ultimate surfing style, even if you don’t own a surfboard. It comes in two different shades of brown, “Clove” and “Moab”, which is a warmer caramel-colored brown. Either pair will go with all your printed Bermuda shorts with ease.
Rainbow ‘301 Alts’ Sandal
A monochromatic sandal in a flip-flop style that’s made with soft leather straps and a leather footbed are these Rainbow ‘301 Alts’ Sandal. They come in five different neutral-colored choices, and the soft nubuck leather will stretch out to fit your foot in molded comfort. Don’t worry if these sandals feel a little snug at first, because soon they will feel like a second skin.
Gucci Slide Sandal
The Gucci Slide Sandal is a classic that never goes out of style. This pair has the Gucci color scheme on the top part and either a white or black sole. With a rubber sole that’s made in Italy, this is probably the only pair you’ll buy which comes with its own flannel bag and box. The only thing about these sandals that may give you pause is that the company advises you don’t get them wet or expose them to direct “light, heat, and rain.” That’s kind of confusing when wearing sandals. It’s meant to withstand the elements!
Birkenstock Kyoto Slide Sandal
An interesting pair that is easy-going and unique is the Birkenstock Kyoto Slide Sandal. With a traditional cork footbed that Birkenstock is known for, it’s going to mold with your foot for anatomical comfort. The top is the unique part because it’s not the regular two-strap that the company usually does. It’s a slide with a big velcro buckle in soft suede that comes in two different color choices, navy and “Stone Coin Suede”, which is absolutely beautiful.
OluKai Mea Ola Flip-Flop
The OluKai Mea Ola Flip-Flop is a quality, hand-stitched leather sandal in a flip-flop style. In tan or dark brown, this style will take you from the beach to walking the streets of any city with ease. The laser-etched design on the footbed is really outstanding, even though when you’re wearing them no one is going to see that, but they’ll look pretty cool when sitting by your door waiting to be worn.
UGG Wainscott Slide Sandal
This brand is finally a player in the sandal game. It’s the UGG Wainscott Slide Sandal. They usually make those clunky, furry boots that women wear all over town, even in warm weather, but this pair is for the guys. A traditional slide sandal with crisscross straps in brown or black leather. The footbed is cushion comfort with a dual-density for added walkability. This may end up being your favorite pair of sandals to wear all year long.
Vince Watley 2 Slide Sandal
The Vince Watley 2 Slide Sandal is braided calfskin leather on the top part, with a comfortable rubber sole. A handsome sandal that comes in five different colors, but the most interesting one is “Forest Berry”, a cranberry color that is truly exceptional in suede.
The North Face Base Camp III Slide Sandal
A company that is known for its outdoor gear and apparel is North Face. Who would have thought they made awesome sandals as well? Their North Face Base Camp III Slide Sandal is no exception. It’s lightweight, made of synthetic material on the top, a rubber sole, and a textile lining that is meant for relaxation. Put them on after a long day of adventuring to kick back around a spring camping trip.
Naot Anegada Slide Sandal
The Naot Anegada Slide Sandal is a lovely black or dark brown pair with crisscross straps that feature a thick decorative top-stitch accent. These sandals just look good. Plus, with a cork and latex cushioned footbed, you’ll be able to walk around just about anywhere in all-day comfort.
