These Are The Best Sporty Dad Sandals For Summer
Because it's too hot for dad sneakers right now
We love a dad sneaker as much as the next person, but as temperatures continue to rise, sometimes a non-ventilated sneaker just isn't feasible.
Thankfully, there's an equally chunky and ugly-cute summer alternative to turn to: the dad sandal. More sporty in design than the '90s flatform, these statement sandals feature all the velcro, buckles, and athleisure details imaginable. While we have Gucci and Prada to thank for making dad fashion cool (and, err, expensive) again, we luckily can now find these clunky wonders at a range of price points.
Summer 2019's offerings also take dad fashion to the next level, hitting all the major trends—from neons and candy colors to PVC, color blocking, and more. Did we mention that they're arguably more comfortable than any other summer shoe trend to exist, like, ever?
