What will be the most comfortable sandals for the summer?

Sandals for men and women Melvin & Hamilton

The summer is here! The bright sky, rising temperatures and soon the hot sand. You can finally put away your winter clothes and swap your leather boots for lighter shoes. Just the right time for light, breathable materials, more skin and of course... sandals.

While going barefoot is always an option during the warm season, we still recommend protecting your feet and stride in style with the perfect pair of sandals. To get through the summer of 2022 comfortably, you'll need to keep your ankle well-supported and have a shock-absorbing sole.

Thin or thick straps, flat sandals or wedges, here is our selection of comfortable sandals to show off your toes and enjoy the warm days.

Whether on holiday, at the weekend or even for a summer evening out, leather sandals can be matched to any look. They are just as easy to wear with a dressy outfit as with a more casual one: shorts or rolled-up chino trousers and a cotton polo shirt.

For your feet, but also for your shoes, it is best to avoid wearing the same pair every day. To keep your feet cool, prevent slipping and limit rubbing, don't hesitate to sprinkle talcum powder on the areas the skin touches the shoe.
