Trying to figure out what he “needs” for the holidays? Good luck with that. Instead, find something that fits what he actually does.
For the guy who’s always planning the next trip, the one who practically lives in his favorite pair, or the one who’s happiest keeping things casual, our holiday gift guide for him has comfortable shoes, sandals, and slip-ons made for his kind of fun.
For the Comfort Guy
He knows what he likes. And what he likes is not thinking about his shoes once they’re on his feet.
Start with Bubblecush, packed with lightweight ETPU beads for some seriously cushy comfort. It’s an easy pick for anyone who puts comfort first, second, and probably third.
Best for: Comfort enthusiasts, professional loungers, and guys who know a good cushion when they feel one.
For the Weekend Wanderer
Saturday starts with coffee. Where it goes from there is between him and Saturday.
Donny 2.0, the next generation of Sanuk’s Sidewalk Surfers, is made for exactly that. A roomier fit, molded Insite insole, and grippy rubber outsole make these men’s casual slip-on shoes ready for errands, hangs, detours, and whatever else happened to come up.
Best for: Neighborhood roamers, farmers market regulars, and guys who leave the house with absolutely no itinerary.
For the Vacationer
His out-of-office is on. His responsibilities are someone else’s problem. Beautiful.
Give him Beer Cozy IV, a comfortable men’s sandal made for beach days, pool days, and days where the biggest decision is where to get lunch. Easy to pack and even easier to wear, it’s basically vacation footwear doing what vacation footwear should.
Best for: Beach bums, frequent flyers, and anyone currently checking flight prices.
For the Guy Who Keeps It Casual
Dress code: he’ll figure it out when he gets there.
For the guy who wants his casual men’s shoes to require as little effort as possible, there’s Hava Shoe Slip On. Throw them on, head out, carry on with your day. Complicated stuff.
Best for: Everyday wearers, low-maintenance dressers, and guys with a complicated relationship with shoelaces.
For the Sandals-All-Year Guy
It could be 85 degrees. It could be 58. His toes have already voted.
Ziggy keeps things simple with laid-back sanuk.profort in an easy men’s sandal. Perfect for warm days, quick trips out, or anyone who considers “sandal season” more of a personal philosophy than a time of year.
Best for: Perpetual sandal wearers, backyard regulars, and guys who refuse to check the forecast.
Find His Kind of Comfort
Maybe he’s a Donny 2.0 guy. Maybe he’s more Beer Cozy IV. Maybe asking him to choose between shoes and sandals would ruin his entire afternoon.
Either way, skip trying to figure out what he needs. Give him comfortable men’s shoes and sandals made for how he actually spends his time.
