At Hirst Footwear, we have a great selection of summer footwear for men, ideal for those treating themselves to something new or buying gifts for their friends or family.

What to look for in summer footwear

When summer comes around and you begin to spend more outside, it’s important you find footwear that keeps your feet cool and comfortable all day long. 

You should be looking for footwear that has the following qualities:

• Breathability
• Cushioned soles 
• Water resistance
• Washable 
• Well fitted 

During the hotter months, our feet tend to sweat more which is why it is vital to find a pair of shoes that won’t cause any sores or blisters. 

What kind of footwear do men need to have for the summer months?

Whether you’re planning a trip abroad, or you are staying in the UK during the summer months, as the weather warms up, it’s time to start looking for appropriate footwear. 

As we’ve mentioned, you should be looking for footwear that is breathable and comfortable, as well as being easy to take on/off. Some popular footwear styles for men that fit into these categories include:

• Sandals
• Flip Flops 
• Sliders 
• Espadrilles 
• Loafers 
• Canvas trainers
