Four Most Comfortable Summer Shoes

One of the biggest discomforts of summer is sweat. It makes us itchy, uneasy, and smelly. To beat the heat and keep the sweat to a minimum, we usually turn to lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, seersucker, etc. But what about our feet? Surprisingly, most of us continue to wear stuffy formal shoes during sweaty summer while sticking to lighter clothes. Our feet sweat a lot, resulting in bad odour and infections. In order to keep your feet dry and hygienic, here are four comfortable summer shoes that are super stylish too. From boat shoes to men’s espadrilles online, here they are…

Suede brogues

Ditch the stuffy formal lace ups for a pair of comfy suede brogues for occasions demanding formal shoes. Where leather shoes are heavy, brogues are lightweight and offer ventilation due to their upper punchings. Suede is ideal for summer, and since dark colours fade fast, it is recommended to choose a neutral colour, making sure to keep a suede brush handy to wipe off stains. Wear brogues with summer suiting or smart-casual separates like chinos, trousers, linen shirts, etc.

Boat shoes

Boat shoes are rubber soled wonders, keeping you cool with their summer friendly materials like suede and canvas. While boat shoes are also available in leather, choosing suede or canvas will open up a wide colour palette to go with most of your outfits. Keep in mind that they are strictly casual and smart-casual, so keep the laces to a minimum and play with colours. Choose patterns, nautical stripes, and polka dots to spice up your summery clothes in neutral or white hues. Boat shoes are supposed to be a different take on slippers, so keep them as light and comfy as possible.

Espadrilles

When on the subject of slippers, how can we not talk of the ever-so-comfy espadrilles for men? Usually made of canvas, the distinguished characteristic of espadrilles is the jute rope sole. Lightweight, breathable, and fashionable, espadrilles can not only be paired with your basic shorts and tee, but also with cotton or linen trousers, joggers, and chinos. Remember to not wear them at occasions that call for a more formal type of shoe. Espadrilles are a summer staple for men, but keep in mind they are an alternative for flip-flops.

Driving Shoes

On the same lines as the moccasin, driving shoes are lightweight, comfortable, and versatile. If you aren't fond of espadrilles, then driving shoes are your best option. The driving shoe belongs to the smart casual category. It can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and outfit. While black, brown, and navy are the most versatile colours, there are more fashionable varieties available- cherry red, jade, cobalt blue are some of them. They are also great for wearing sockless.

During summer, it is better to pack your sneaker shoes away and resort to these comfy alternatives. When your feet stay happy, so does your day!
