These slides have a synthetic band across the vamp, a waffle outsole that provides extra grip and durability, and a true-to-size fit, making them perfect for everyday wear. Our experts pointed out how the medium width of these slides will help prevent visible bulging or stretching outside your forefoot for a streamlined look.
One buyer said: "They work great with or without socks. Crucially, they do not absorb any water in the sole and very little in the strap, making them perfect for showers where you don't want bare feet. I've been wearing them around the house constantly since I got them."

Made in Italy and designed with a contoured footbed for maximum comfort, these really have it all. Our experts note that since these slides are only available in whole sizes, you should go up to the nearest whole size if you usually wear a half size.

Birkenstock—you know, the maker of everyone's favorite "ugly" (but not ugly) sandals—offers the mack daddy of slides.

It's generally ill-advised to wear sandals in the office, but if there's one choice that'll let you get away with it, it's this crisscross stunner. They're made with 100 percent leather (see what we mean?), have the brand's signature subtle triangle logo, and even come with a slight heel for added elevation (in more ways than one).
One buyer said: "I got these for my husband for his birthday, and I'm pretty sure he hasn't taken them off since. They look so good that he's even worn them to a beach wedding and received a ton of compliments."

With a footbed contoured to your feet and a thick, stretchy strap, these chic slides are perfect for any summer vacation. Our testers loved how the compression-knit upper kept their feet feeling snug but still allowed them to breathe and how the cork soles helped keep their toes from sliding around.
One tester said: "The sandals are the ideal cross between stylish and orthopedic shoes. I have flat feet, and the anatomical footbed not only helped with my overpronation but made me feel like I could wear them all day long."

Golfers, this one's for you. Designed by Reef—a brand known for affordable, casual sandals—these slides have a faux-grass footbed, a golf ball heel pad, a built-in tee (you never know when the desire to swing by the range will hit you), and a molded foam outsole. Perfect for the locker room or for giving your feet some much-needed R&R after playing 18, this option is a hole-in-one. Oh, and let's not forget to point out the built-in bottle opener, so you can easily crack open a cold one on the course.
One buyer said: "These are super cool looking! The inside does feel like turf, but not in a bad way. Super stylish, runs true to size, and is a must-have after 18 holes."

About as elegant and classic a slide as you can get, but we expect nothing less from Cole Haan. Made of leather that molds directly to your feet, this option has endless versatility and ensures traction on just about any terrain—although we wouldn't suggest wearing these on, let's say, a hike.
One buyer said: "These sandals are very well made and are great for walking. I wore them on my trip to Europe this summer and was able to wear them for hours without a single blister or any discomfort."

Although we loved these three additional options, each one had subtle differences that kept it from our main list.
- Gucci Striped Rubber Slides: Designed with the brand's signature green and red stripes, these slides are the perfect nod to Gucci's Italian roots. They're made from thick rubber and have embossed footbeds to keep your feet from slipping. And while we were impressed with their overall construction and appearance, we found they weren't as versatile as the other styles.
- Under Armour Ansa Slides: Comfortable and long-lasting, these slides easily transition from the locker room to the pool. At $19, they're pretty competitively priced, too. However, we found them to be relatively thin and lacking the great traction that the other 18 options had.
- Vince Del Ray Slides: These simple yet striking sandals are the ideal companion for all your summer adventures. Their ease and refinement will look good just about anywhere—from sitting at the Four Seasons to drinking an Aperol spritz on the Amalfi coast. That said, we thought this option was too hard to clean, which is why it didn't make our list.

In compiling a list of the best slides for men in 2024, our reviewers kept a few key things in mind: Every pair had to be comfortable, versatile, and, of course, stylish.
After testing multiple options and comparing our results with the reviews on product sites, comments on Internet forums, and tips from our readers, we narrowed down the list to 18 pairs that can be worn all day, every day.
