subject: What Is It About Men's Sandals? [print this page] As we go through the day we see countless men and women wearing sandals. It could be snowing outside and people would rather wear there sandals then put on a pair of shoes. I often ask myself why are sandals so popular? Sandals are not as comfortable as shoes, nor do they provide adequate protection. Perhaps it is the look that we enjoy.
When someone puts on a pair of sandals, you get a feeling of relaxation. Sandals can look good with almost any outfit that you put on except for formal attire. They are fast and easy to slip on which allows us to get on the road quicker. I often find myself wishing I had worn shoes but I can't seem to stop wearing Sandals. It's almost as if they were an addictive substance.
Some people wear sandals exclusively. Others only wear them on warm sunny days or trips to the beach. Perhaps it is the sound of the "flip flop" that people like so much. They provide adequate air to breather and the stench of smelly shoes is almost nonexistent with a pair of sandals. There are different styles of Sandals on the market. Men's Sandals are typically very sporty looking. Some brands such as Birki's have a more professional look. I have seen a few models from Propet made out of leather with a strap around the back heel. Formal Sandals do not exist for men.
Women have a larger selection of Sandals then Men. In every category of shoes women have a better selection, except in Work Boots. Women have the choice of traditional beach ware sandals, Casual Sandals and even formal Sandals. If a Man were to wear his nicest pair of sandals to a wedding, he would be frowned upon but women can get away with it.
If you are searching for a new pair of sandals, get online and look at everything that is available. Sometimes it is necessary to buy two pairs just because you like them both that much. Some sandals are very affordable like the New Balance Mosie Sandal. Others are much more expensive reaching as high as $150 a pair. Reef is one of the most popular Sandals on the market. They provide quality sandals at a reasonable price. Most sandals only come in whole sizes. Very few have half sizes which should make it easier for purchasing on the internet. Make sure to read any reviews on the shoe you want before you purchase them.
