The 14 Best Men's Slip-On Shoes, Tested by Style Experts

This is just like a hands-free sneaker option, albeit one that's meant for everyday running and jogging. With the laceless design plus added support, once we slipped these on, we thought the overall fit, comfort, as well as cushioning were very on point, and we loved how easily we could be on the move thanks to the traction of the outsole as well.

While walking in these shoes, for instance, we love that the upper adds extra secure support to make wearing them without socks comfortable as well. For light jogs or a run on the treadmill, the foamed midsole delivers cushioning to make our ride soft and responsive while minimizing stress and impact, which we also found to be very helpful for walking long distances.

In addition, we were able to exercise for hours in these shoes without having our feet getting clammy, thanks to the breathable upper and the lightweight build. The elastic upper also stayed on while securing our feet, something that helped us stay focused while training, walking, or running.

Known for its affordable yet high-quality dress shoes, Bruno Marc also makes great casual shoes. And its slip-on loafer is perhaps the easiest one to buy on Amazon. It’s infallible in every possible way. When we slipped into these shoes, we instantly noticed how stretchy and breathable the knit upper is, and after walking in them for hours, our feet remained dry, cool, and sweat-free, making them a great choice of summer shoes for your wardrobe.

These shoes are also by no means orthopedic, but we appreciate the soft insole that’s easy on our feet and does offer decent arch support. Coupled with their lightweight design that can be literally bent and folded, we found these shoes incredibly walking-friendly. The outsole also is a star, since it’s wear-resistant, flexible, and shock-absorbing to offer even more comfort on different surfaces. Yeah, all in all, it’s a design that just works for everyday wear.

Remember those sock sneakers that you can easily slip in and out? These are like the sporty, more performance-minded take on those. Not only are these one of our favorite Adidas shoes for walking, everyday wear, light exercises, as well as commuting, but, as slip-on shoes, they’re also great for workouts. When wearing them as trainers to the gym, we were impressed by how their Cloudfoam cushioning offered constant support and shock absorption to make us feel like walking or standing on air.

We also found the soft, stretchy textile upper fitted like a glove and is extra breathable as well as lightweight, making them suitable for hot, sweaty days. The pull-on tab is also something we appreciate when we want some extra help sliding them on. The faces, we found, are really just for show, given the fit that Lite Racer Adapt 5.0 already comes in which is snug but not too tight.

With an easy, clean look that works with the rest of your outfit, this versatile slip-on sneaker fulfills all your casual footwear needs at the right price. Not only do we love how easy it is to slide our feet on and off these shoes because of the stretchy side cores, but we also love how its padded collar ensures comfort even when we wore these without socks. Although these felt great to walk in thanks to the contoured insoles as well as the padding on the heel that didn't make us feel like we were walking on planks, we don't recommend it for walking long distances because, after all, they're not made with stress-relieving arch support or shock-absorbing midsole.

We also very much approve of its flexible upper that's knitted to require no breaking-in. In fact, I was able to get a perfect fit at my first time slipping into these shoes. And the fit was flexible, meaning when I walk or bend my feet, the shoes will also move with me. More importantly, they're 100% washable, a fact we came to appreciate more the more we wore these slip-on shoes.

Lastly, we definitely love its style as well: casual enough to wear with sweats and a tee, and nice enough to wear with a pair of jeans and a polo.

Allbirds makes, hands down, the most comfortable slip-on shoes out there. You already know and love the runners, and these are a whole other level of feeling good and looking awesome. In our testing, we were first and foremost impressed by the Merino wool upper which is naturally anti-odor, moisture-wicking, breathable, and thermoregulating; that is all to say, in the winter, we wear these with socks—of course—but in the summer, we wear them without socks, since the inside is made to be itch-free, and they feel cozy like slippers.

Our favorite part about these shoes is how great they are for walking and everyday wear because of the midsole, which is made of foam to contour our feet and feel bouncy to absorb impact at each soft. Thus, we absolutely love how soft each of our landings feels as well. The insole is also odor-resistant and moisture-wicking so our feet will stay cool and dry.

These moisture-wicking moc toe slip-on are designed to make you feel like the man of the hour and will amaze you in comfort and walkability. Our favorite part is that they're incredibly resistant to different weathers, having been made with a waterproof yet breathable upper that can keep your feet dry, sweat-free, and feeling crispy throughout the day.

In our testing, we also found ourselves walking in bliss thanks to the Wave Walk motion control technology that delivers sublime underfoot comfort and support while getting rid of tired feet by alleviating pressure and stress. And we love how the cushioned EVA outsole provides high rebound and traction so that even after covering the asphalt for miles in these, we still felt like walking on clouds or air in walking shoes.

While we didn’t particularly like the style for dressing up, on a regular day out or for a casual outing and running errands, we think this dad style makes a perfect footwear option. And the fit is great too; even with wide feet, we found that the construction will break in nicely to your shape.

"Handmade with environmentally responsible construction in Italy by 6th-generation shoemakers, they are a simple slip-on with a super soft feel which makes them highly wearable," says personal stylist Stephanie Gisondi-Little regarding the Patnoflex, which is arguably the best slip-on shoes money can buy? Sure, we can’t exercise in them, but given their timeless style tried and tested by anyone from James Dean to Elvis, as well as lightweight comfort meant for being on the go, there’s not much else you can fault it for.

In our testing, we found that it's really flexible enough to be folded in half and can be worn without socks while still feeling buttery soft on our feet on the inside. We also love how it has a simple, elegant design that feels a tad more casual while still delivering plenty of style points. "For a more modern take on a loafer, I love the Astorflex Patnoflex Loafer with its streamlined details and unfussy energy," says Gisondi-Little. "It is the perfect stand-in for a dress sneaker that both elevates casual looks and perfectly compliments business casual."

In our experience of wearing these to travel, we found that the leather lining and ergonomic footbed that offers support managed to keep any discomfort at bay while being on our feet all day in them, standing or walking.

The Phenom goes with pretty much everything. Whether you want to dress up or down, with chinos or joggers. Because if versatility is not the end goal for slip-ons, we don't know what is. And reviews have reported back with stellar reviews on its comfort, even wearing it for activities like golf.

Slip-on sneakers might veer into the casual, but a little selective detailing can make them feel a bit more dressed up. A leather pick is a solid way to do it.

Sperry is a classic when it comes to warm-weather shoes, and these are no exception with a completely laceless design that makes on and off easier. Plus, you can never have too many white (or gray) sneakers and that is just a fact.

APL, the purveyor of some of our favorite running shoes, also makes a mean men's slip-on workout sneaker. The fabric upper is comfortable and the elastic across the top makes your foot feel secure all workout long. The highlight is the Propelium® technology which helps optimize energy generation and provide superior comfort when your feet slam on the ground.

In the past decade, Cole Haan has been churning out dressy shoes that are as comfortable as sneakers, and its updated penny loafers are no exception. Its sleek silhouette has classic toe and heel rubber taps that provide stability when you walk, and its lightweight EVA midsole means you can stand all day in them with no issues.

This cult-favorite slip-on takes comfort and ease to a new high. Kizik uses its own Cage technology that allows you to step on and crush the heel of the shoes as you slip in—and the heel then automatically bounces back to its original condition, lending a perfect hands-free experience (the ties merely let you loosen or tighten the fit). From our testing, however, the heel itself works more like a shoehorn that sets the feet in place as it slides in, which is even better. And the proprietary Rabbit Foam tech offers extra cushioning and lifts the heel slightly for better comfort.

You know driving loafers are known for being easy to put on and comfortable to walk in. But they’re perhaps best known for a classic, elevated low lace-less profile that every man turns to for both formal and casual occasions. Peter Millar’s no-socks-needed slip-on take is even easier to get into. It’s light and made in knit that wicks moisture, which means it’s breathable and great for wearing sans socks. And the outsole is extra grippy to ground your feet.
