What Footwear Should Men Wear in Summer?
Do you like having sweaty feet? Do you think other people enjoy your sweaty feet? Is foot sweat something you aspire to have? If the answer to any of those questions is ‘yes’, we are not here to judge, but there are other websites in existence which might prove more relevant to your podiatry desires. Here at Percival, we’re very much of the opinion that your feet should stay cool, breezy, and adorned in footwear that makes them look great all summer.
Casual vs Formal Summer Footwear
Casual summer footwear is, relatively speaking, a broad church. Trainers, flip flops, leather clogs, sandals… You have the freedom to experiment—it’s all about what you pair your footwear with. Formal summerwear is a little trickier, but we can help you with that. Keep reading, style guide below.
Footwear Style Tips for Warm Weather
Your summer footwear simply has to breathe. Anything enclosed and air-tight is going to have your hooves undergoing some fairly serious waterboarding at the metaphorical hands of their own sweat (that’s not a sentence we ever expected to write, but here we are). Your feet should not feel like they’re being interrogated by the CIA, they should be comfortable and cool. Lightweight and breathable is what we’re looking for here.

Casual Summer Shoes for Men
Here we have your everydayers, your cutting about town shoes, your comfy sty for those warm little piggies.
Men’s Trainers & Sandals
For starters, classic dan loafer. A solid option for both shorts and trousers. A versatile pick that’ll keep your feet feeling fresh and will see you through any casual summer situation you might find yourself in. For an even more relaxed vibe, slap a pair of Kleman Pacha Sandals on. Imagine having these on the end of your legs whilst you sip a negroni and watch the local old couples dance out the front of the bars and restaurants. That’s the stuff. God, that is the stuff.
What Shoes to Wear with Shorts?
Any of the above will look lovely with a pair of shorts, as will these cultured-as-you-bloody-well-like Jetty II Boater 2 Eye boat shoes. Sort of thing you could listen to some fairly free jazz in without looking out of place.
What Shoes to Wear to a Summer Wedding?
In our eyes, there’s only one real choice when it comes to adorning your flippers for a summer matrimonial ceremony (don’t want to keep saying ‘feet’ and ‘wedding’—our inner thesaurus is taking an absolute hammering today), and it’s these…
Loafers
Loafers. It’s loafers. You’ve got your Classic Dan Black Sebago Loafers, you’ve got this classy Burgundy variation, you’ve got a Dolphin Waxed Dark Brown colourway to help you be at one with the cetaceans. Choice is yours.
What to Wear on Feet to a Beach Wedding?
Don’t resort to the flip-flops for a beach wedding. Being on a beach is not an excuse to whack out the plastic and foam tat. Try something lighter that still looks classy, like Kleman Pacha Sandals.
Smart Summer Shoes for Formal Events
Solovair Hi-shine Loafers. Trust us. Or Sebago Loafers. Either/or.
Office-Appropriate Summer Shoes
Can’t just pack in your job for the summer, can you? World keeps spinning. Still got to be smart and comfortable in the office. Go for a pair of Sebago Loafers.
Leather Boat Shoes
We’ve made a list of things that are better in summer than winter:
- Guillermo Ochoa (one for the hardcore football fans)
- Barbecues
- Being on a boat
Best get yourself some proper boat shoes. Pick your fighter. Or sailor. Pick your sailor:
Kleman Derbies
The Kleman Padror is the kind of shoe that laughs in the face of summer cobbles, chunky sole, derby swagger, built like a Parisian café chair that’ll never wobble. Wear them with shorts if you’ve got the confidence or wide-leg trousers if you want to look like you know your way around a gallery in Marseille.
Men’s Summer Shoe Outfit Inspiration
Can’t just wear shoes, can you? Unless you’re at a nudist beach wedding. But nudists aren’t really our target audience. Because we make clothes, you see? Here’s some outfit inspiration for you.
Brown Sebago Loafers
Our Brown Sebago Loafers are the dolphin waxed ones we were on about earlier. All shoes should have a bit of Flipper juice rubbed on them. Wear them with Cream Linen Trousers or Shorts and a linen shirt of your choice.
Sebago Boat Shoe
If you’re opting for the Black version of the Sebago Boat Shoe, you can pretty much take your pick in terms of colourways. Black goes with just about everything.
Kleman Padror Shoe
Pair a Kleman Padror Shoe with linen trousers or Jeans. Not shorts. These are a proper trouser shoe.
Vans Premium Authentic 44 Shoes
Pair Vans Premium Authentic 44 Shoes with some nice Linen Shorts and a Linen Shirt or cotton T-shirt. Easy, this one.
