Style meets comfort in these versatile kicks.
Clarks Desert聽
This boot goes with everything: slacks, jeans, even shorts. The suede can handle a few scuffs and look even better for it, and we love the plentiful color options. The crepe sole added a bit of spring to our step.
Price $130
Pikolinos Durban聽
Lots of dress shoes come across as staid. The Durban鈥攚ith a pop of color on the sole to contrast with the rich leather鈥攄oes not. It鈥檚 equally at home in the office as it is outside at a summer barbecue.
Price $180
Vans Slip-On SF聽
Forget the classic black-and-white checked slip-on. These days we opt for something a bit louder. This Vans style comes in lots of hues and designs, but our favorite is the seagull and fish pattern by Japanese artist Yusuke Hanai. It鈥檚 a fun nod to surf culture.
Price $55
Sanuk TKO聽
Don鈥檛 be fooled by the thick canvas upper. It鈥檚 plenty airy, ventilating our dogs on even the hottest days, while the thick laces, padded collar, and blocky toe box make for a relaxed, Margaritaville look. The antimicrobial footbed reduces funk should you elect to go sockless.
Price $65
SeaVees Legend Clipper Class聽
Sneakers don鈥檛 scream slacker if they鈥檙e made from polished leather. The Clipper Class takes its name from the 1960s equivalent of upper-crust air travel, and it looks damn fine on the bow of a yacht. Or, even better, a whitewater dory.
Price $138
Reef Ripper Tx聽
Yes, it has polka dots, but the real story is inside. The Ripper Tx is the most comfortable shoe here, with a contoured EVA insole that envelops and supports your foot. A wavelike pattern underneath the sole provides grip in wet and dry conditions.聽
