Fisherman Sandals

Let’s start with a classic. If you aren’t comfortable fully freeing those feet (which is understandable, especially if you live in a city environment), embrace the Fisherman sandal for 2024. They’re a pretty timeless choice and surprisingly versatile — which is probably why they’re also a must-have for women this year. While you can rock them with breezy khaki shorts and a casual T-shirt, a leather pick can complement a more formal ensemble and look great with trousers, too.

On Sale 29% off
Size Range:
Color Options: 2
While these sandals are sturdy and supportive, they’re surprisingly lightweight. Customers say they’re easy to slip on or off and adjust, ensuring you have the perfect fit.
Camper Pelotas Flota Fisherman Sandal
Size Range: 39 – 45
Color Options: 2
Fisherman sandals may be tried and true, but that won’t stop brands from spicing them up a bit. We’re pretty fond of this chunky green pair, which will no doubt add a fashion-forward spin to your summer staples.
G.H.Bass Fisherman Sandal
Size Range: 7 – 13
Color Options: 2
Somehow, G.H.Bass created a pair of sandals that are the best of both worlds. While the leather material means they won’t read as too lax, they’re also slides, so you can keep them by the door and slip them on in a rush.
02
Clogs

If you already own a pair of Crocs, clogs should be a pretty easy trend to work into your wardrobe. The slip-on shoe is sort of a sandal but without the full commitment. They were spotted on Spring/Summer 2024 runways paired with everything from shorts to tailored pants, and plastic or rubber pairs are pretty practical for pool or beach settings. Of course, you don’t have to keep it casual — fuzzy and embellished options are cool, too, and might make your outfit feel a bit more elevated.
Crocs Unisex-Adult Classic Clogs
Sizes Available: 2 – 17
Color Options: 20+
If you haven’t hopped on the Crocs train yet, what’s stopping you? The ultimate throw-on-and-go, slip-on shoe is still going strong in 2024, and even if keeping up with trends are not your thing, maybe the 4.8-star Amazon rating will convince you to add them to your rotation.
UGG Goldencoast Clog
Sizes Available: 8 – 13
Color Options: 1
If you’re looking for a shoe you can reach for most of the year, UGG’s clogs are it. They’re neutral and versatile, not to mention soft and sturdy. The suede material also makes them feel luxe, so while you can wear them around the house, they’re a perfectly acceptable everyday option, too.
HEYDUDE Austin Workwear
On Sale 46% off
Sizes Available: 7 – 15
Color Options: 4
A clog? A sneaker? A slide? These HEYDUDE slip-ons qualify as all three. The brand is known for its comfy, walkable footwear, so if you’re headed out for a day full of adventure (or running errands), these should be your go-to.

Woven
EMPORIO ARMANI

If you’re tired of leather, plastic, and rubber sandals, switch things up this season with woven alternatives. We spotted this men’s shoe style on the runway at Emporio Armani, and plenty of accessible brands appear to be on board, creating similar, see-through slip-ons and knit slides. Even if you’re rocking a low-key look, these statement sandals will instantly your outfit a boost.
Sizes Available: 7 – 14
Color Options: 3
While more of a shoe than a true sandal, these babies are easy, breezy, and very fashion-forward. Customers, of course, are big fans of the fact that they can quickly pull them on, but also add that they’re lightweight and easy to walk in throughout the day.
ASOS DESIGN Cross-Over Woven Sandals
Sizes Available: 7 – 13
Color Options: 1
Test out the trend with a pair of crisscross slides. While they’re similar to the tried-and-true leather sandals you likely already own, the woven detail is a welcome update that will give your footwear a fresh, summer-ready spin.
Sizes Available: 7.5 – 14
Color Options: 1
These form-fitting sandals might be on the funky side, but people claim that they’re super comfortable. Even better than the bold look is the fact that they’re supportive and easy to clean (just brush with a soft. damp sponge), but if you do make the purchase, size up since they’re said to run small.

Mary Jane
LOUIS VUITTON

Mary Janes and T-strap shoes have been trending in womenswear for a bit, but for 2024, the trend is big for menswear, too. The design is kind of the perfect in-between option — not quite a sandal, but not your average loafer or brogue. You can also style them with contrasting crew socks if you’re in the mood for a quirky-cool look.
Dr. Martens Adrian T Bar Leather Mary Jane Shoes
Sizes Available: 6 – 14
Color Options: 2
This unisex Mary Jane is probably similar to something you already own, save for the T-strap detail. Make things easier for yourself by rocking it in place of boat shoe, and when fall rolls around, add a white sock for a cool, contrasting look.
Prada Men’s T-Strap Brushed Leather Mary Jane Shoes
Sizes Available: 7 – 12
Color Options: 1
If you want the real deal, invest in a pair of Prada Mary Janes. While somewhat unusual and unexpected, they’re a wear-everywhere shoe and are perfect for casual outings, weddings, work, and more events on your list. Sure, it’s an investment, but considering how many designer brands are pushing for this trend, they’re bound to be in your rotation for years to come.

Sizes Available: 8.5 – 13

Of course, there’s also a more laid-back version of this shoe. This neutral-colored, sneaker-inspired design will ensure it remains in your rotation and works for all your warm-weather outfits, while the mesh material means your feet will remain cool on hot summer days.

Slides

Perhaps one of the best men’s sandals trends for 2024 isn’t a trend at all. Slides, a timeless seasonal staple, continue to rise in popularity due to ease and versatility. While we probably wouldn’t wear them in a formal or office setting, they’re the go-to for just about everywhere else. Bring ’em to the beach, then when the weekend rolls around, wear them to brunch with a pair of linen pants.
Birkenstock Arizona Slide Sandal
Sizes Available: 8 – 15.5
Color Options: 4
One slide sandal you won’t regret investing in is a Birkenstock Arizona. Aside from being the easy option you can keep by the door and slip on in a rush, they’re considered to be the OG. Many fans of this comfy, relaxed shoe are repeat buyers, opting to stock up on different colors and iterations to wear throughout the season.
All In Motion Men’s Trey Sport Slides
Sizes Available: 7 – 13
Color Options: 2
Whether you’re taking a dip in the pool or planning to spend all day outdoors, these Target slides are the perfect shoe choice. They’re made by the retailer’s athletic label, All In Motion, and aside from being lightweight and airy, they’re only $20.
Nike Calm Men’s Slides
Sizes Available: 6 – 18
Color Options: 7
It’s time to bulk up. If you really want to make a statement with your shoe choice, these chunky slides from Nike will do the trick and are a great way to balance out baggier pieces. While neutral colorways are available, we’re partial to a pop of color and love this shade of bright blue.
