Zappos Picks: Shoes for Summer Vacation

Get creative with these must-have shoes of the season. Perfect for the lazy guy in everyone, these loafers and slips-ons are available in easy shapes and styles to match with almost everything. Nautical stripes look positively laid-back with twills and your favorite jeans, but they’re sharp enough to accompany you anywhere with smart chinos or shorts if you prefer.

Sperry Top-Sider - Striper Slip-On (White) - Men’s

These classic white shoes are a summer staple. Top siders aren’t just totally comfortable, but they have a slightly refined sense, like a pair of shoes you might wear while sailing. Crisp, white, and cool, you’ll find that the Top-Sider Slip-Ons are a quintessential summer kick.

Sebago - Mariner (Dark Blue) - Men’s

The Sebago Mariner is a punched-up version of your usual slip-on shoe. Slight moccasin styling gives this pair of deep blue leather shoes an unusually fresh look. They may be ultra-casual, but you’ll find that these Sebago Mariners will be sneaking their way into your wardrobe for more than just the beach.

Modern Amusement by Sperry - Finest Cord Lace-Up (Variegated Corduroy) - Men’s

These shoes certainly are unique, and for the guy that loves comfort just about as much as he loves innovative footwear, these are perfectly poised to take over your closet and tempt you to try matching them with almost everything. Perhaps you should avoid polka dots, though.

Lacoste - Riez (Dark Brown/Dark Gum) - Men’s Designer Collection

Lacoste Riez shoes have a strangely exotic appeal when you get them in dark brown. The rubber sole and leather footbed look almost handmade and rustic—all the better for the earthy trends we’ve seen this summer. Linen and cotton are natural matches for these relaxed slip-ons.

Minnetonka - Double Bottom Softsole (Chocolate Moose) - Men’s

Don’t underestimate the appeal of a softsole shoe. For anyone who hates the look of sandals on their feet—or just can’t bear to flaunt theirs in public—these ultra light, cloudlike shoes are great. They’re traditional, casual, and just right for lazing around.
