What shoes are you wearing with shorts?

I usually wear Sanuk flip flops. Sometimes black sneakers, but it's an old man look. I will NOT wear crocks... or the flourescent sneakers I see around. LOL

The GF says the Sperry topsider look is too preppy. What's a guy to do?

What are you wearing? Looking for a change.

Try low cut socks or no show socks.

Vans. I got brown leather ones and old canvas ones in classic colors. Sometimes trainers from Nike.

As one with no rational basis to give fashion advice, I will quietly observe. Guessing what is accepted here in rural Georgia might not meet with Hollywood Beach standards.

I have a nice pair of Sperry gold's. I'll were them with shorts if I'm going somewhere- where I'd like to be a little more dressed up. Most other times it's a pair of Van's or dressy polo sneakers. If I'm being very casual- I have a worn pair of Sperry's that will work.

Sperrys and Vans.
Never flip flops. Men shouldn’t be allowed to wear them. Gross ass toes and rotten toe nails out for the world to see (and be nauseous). Looks completely trashy.
Yuck

P.S. since I never go anywhere but dialysis now I just I wear Rockport slippers. I have two pair, one for in the house and the other pair by the back door for outside. My wife is very picky about her floors.

Look into Sanuk Sidewalk surfers.

I have a pair of Sketchers Garmo's, if I am not in flip flops (I am a Reef brand whore) then I am in these.

Made in Vietnam if you are wondering if its Chinesium.

To the OP what are the specifics ? Looking for something nice to go out to lunch or dinner ? Mowing the lawn ? Working in the garage ? Hiking in the woods ? My general go to is low socks and sneakers but I also have sandals when I don't feel like wearing socks . Lawn mowing and working around the house the old sneakers that were rotated out when new were purchased . I would like to find a comfortable pair of slip ons .

We cannot be friends then.

I would be the only person around here NOT wearing them if I didn't.

Haha. Such a shame that now I can’t ever go to Jensen Beach Fl. I lived on the beach bout four hours south of Cancun for a year back in 2014 and wor Sanuk slip Ins but no flip flops.
Obviously it’s just my opinion and ymmv

Guess I’m the In a minority in that I still wear boat shoes almost all the time..
Unless I need to walk anywhere or do anything - then it’s a pair of Lowas.
Have a bad ankle From an injury a long time ago - need the support.

Birks here too - have a few pairs of vans, wallabees, and adidas for more formal occasions.

My sandal tan lines are ridiculous since I retired.

I'm pairing my birks with a really natty Johnny Effin Marr tee shirt today. It was quite the hit at the waffle house earlier - along with my mullet.

I wear shorts nearly every day April-October and shoes are form follows function. Fashion takes a distant back seat.

Working, hiking, heavy chores around the house- boots and socks
Casual indoor comfort- slip on sketchers, no socks
Out on the town- Adidas tennis shoes and socks
water play at lakes, rivers, and streams- water shoes that offer grip and protection
