Slippers & Sandals

The sneaker is probably one of the most popular men's shoes, but in summer, designer slippers and sandals for men take the lead. They are not only airy, but also epitomise comfort and lightness in the warmer months of the year. Whether on the beach, in the city or on elegant holiday evenings: These shoes leave stylish footprints in the sand. Discover a collection of styles that combine comfort, luxury and creativity in an inimitable way.

History That Lasts: The Origins of the Sandal

People wore the first sandals over 10,000 years ago. Archaeological finds from the USA prove that sandals made from plant fibres are among the oldest known shoes of mankind. In Egypt around 3000 BC, sandals were a symbol of status and power, made from papyrus and palm leaves. Pharaohs and wealthy citizens adorned their models with gold and precious stones.
In Ancient Greece (around the 5th century BC), leather sandals became a stylistic statement. The shoemaker of the philosopher Diogenes is said to have made particularly sought-after models. Romans such as Julius Caesar wore sandals with stitched soles and elaborately decorated straps, which were intended for military purposes or everyday wear.
In the Middle Ages, sandals were largely forgotten in Europe, while they remained popular in Asia and the Middle East. It was not until the Renaissance that they returned to Europe as a fashionable element. With industrialisation and the use of new materials such as rubber and synthetic fabrics, summer shoes experienced a boom from the 19th century onwards. Today, designer sandals for men from modern brands combine millennia-old tradition with innovation - from luxurious materials such as suede and smooth leather to sustainable alternatives.

Match the Vibe: The Styles of the Summer

Our designer slippers and sandals for men not only offer variety, craftsmanship and comfort, but also a journey through the world of luxury footwear fashion. Here is an overview of the most popular styles for the summer, which also cater to the latest trends:

• Flip-flops: minimalist and airy. Two simple straps with an impeccable finish and fine materials such as calfskin. These models are super lightweight and the thick rubber soles offer pleasant comfort, even when worn for long periods. Ideal for beach days or relaxing hours by the pool.
• Espadrilles: The summer classic with characteristic raffia edging on the edge of the sole, woven by hand and reminiscent of Mediterranean climes. Their upper material is often made of robust canvas or soft suede, making them light and breathable. Combine these casual fabric shoes with shorts or chinos for a relaxed, stylish everyday look.
• Slippers: Elegant and comfortable. With a slim silhouette and often made from suede or high-quality smooth leather, they add a touch of elegance to your outfit. Some models feature stylish details or are intricately woven from leather - perfect with a white designer short-sleeved shirt for men for urban summer evenings. Alternatively, moccasins can also be worn, albeit in a more casual style.
• Leather sandals: classic strappy sandals that are robust and stylish at the same time. With stainless steel buckles and a padded footbed, simple designer sandals for men in black or brown ensure maximum comfort. With designer cotton trousers or chinos and T-shirts, they create an effortlessly stylish summer look that can be complemented with matching colour accessories such as bags or designer sunglasses for men.
• Mules: Slipping in and out quickly thanks to the open heel area gives the shoe its particularly casual look, which can also be interpreted elegantly depending on the design of the shoe and the clothing you choose to go with it. Wear this model mainly in a private setting and for relaxed occasions - for example with casual jeans.

Please note: You should only wear open shoes in your free time. For casual business appointments or formal summer occasions, you can alternatively opt for elegant slippers and designer loafers for men without socks.
