The hottest men’s summer sandals are...foam? Why slip-ons made from the squishy stuff might be just what you need to stride through August.

on the British reality dating show, “Love Island,” the male contestants have made lasting commitments. Not to their female suitors, mind you, but to the chunky foam slides with jagged soles that have become staples of their poolside ensembles. The men’s shoes stand out for two reasons: 1) Their typically neon shades are even more luminous than their owners’ permatans; 2) The guys aren’t wearing much else.

Agenda-setting labels have embraced the plastic. This season, Balenciaga is pushing angular black designs with slashes around the toes, while cult Japanese brand Suicoke is treating the world to split-toe EVA slippers. You’ll find tastefully squishy black sandals from Sweden’s Cos and orthopedic-looking slides fromthat Silicon Valley bros will no doubt snap up.

SQUISHY SLIP-ONS Foam sandals to put some actual springiness in your step. Clockwise from top left: $165, AxelArigato.com; $69, Cos.com; $50, Allbirds.com; $50, Birkenstock.com; $140, Suicoke.caMr. Allen personally favors Fear of God’s EVA mules. Released in 2021, they have a smooth, domed shape that recalls flying saucers. They also demonstrate the relative affordability that is making foam footwear so popular.

Other guys build their outfits around them. Timothy Castillo, 25, a registered nurse in New York City, is a fan of tan Yeezys. He “spruces them up” by teaming them with printed socks in a lighter tan hue, a matching shirt and louche black pants. It’s a bold, coordinated outfit—and, he said, the blocky shoes have “a nice silhouette that’s more interesting than flat sandals.”
