The 18 Best Slides for Men in 2023, Tested by Style Editors
Free your toes and upgrade your laidback vibe.
AH, SUMMER. The season of sunbathing in swim trunks, surfing in board shorts, and swanking about your style in slides—because no one wants to deal with the fuss of lacing up heft shoes and boots or the hassle of smelly socks. So bust out your toes and let the best slides for men take you for an effortlessly comfortable ride.
We do want to dispel some misunderstandings about slides: they’re too often dismissed as glorified shower shoes and tossed into college dorms, locker rooms, or beachside uses. But today’s best slides for men quite defiantly flip off those clichés by equipping themselves with performance and functions that render them actually outdoors- and everyday-friendly. Below, we’ve done research (even at our local poolsides) and tested over 30 pairs to break down the 18 best slides for men by highlighting their key features and design benefits.
So kick off those chunky sneakers of yours and slip into summer with the best slides for men. From classic laidback designs for relaxing to cushioned support options for walking and recovery, our tested slides have got your coolness covered.
