5 Must-Have Shoes for This Spring/Summer
Dance your way through sunny season with these can’t-miss kicks — perfect for all of your spring and summer activities, from work to play.
Whenever the seasons turn, one of the first things to switch up is your footwear rotation.
While warm linings, waterproof materials, and heavy-tread lug soles serve you well in the colder months, spring and summer call for something very different. With the weather (finally) starting to look like it’s made up its mind, we’re starting to slip into lower profiles, breathable materials, and softer soles.
From running errands around town to suiting up for formal events (and everything in between) our in-house shoe experts have distilled our newest arrivals into five must-have styles to carry you through every occasion this season.
232 Sneakers, ZEGNA
The 232 is the latest evolution in ZEGNA’s revered sneaker range, following in the footsteps of the brand’s signature Triple Stitch model. Featuring a classic lace-up design, deconstructed upper, and high-grip natural rubber sole, these refined low-profile sneakers redefine understated luxury — perfect for work or weekend.
Cloud 6 Sneakers, On
Swiss sneaker brand On has cultivated a devout following from professional athletes to the fintech C-suite, and for all the same reasons: comfort, performance, and versatility. The Cloud 6 sneaker does it all, a waterproof, all-day shoe made for work, workouts, and city sidewalks.
Softey Suede Yacht Loafers, Aurélien
You dont need to own a yacht — or even be aboard one — to sport these sleek slip-ons from Aurélien, but youll certainly give off that vibe. Handmade in Italy featuring the brands signature Softey® Suede upper, calfskin interior, and understated rubber sole, they offer unparalleled comfort in every stylish step.
Naples 2.0 Suede Leather Loafers, Birkenstock
Summer calls for effortlessness, and shoes dont come much easier than these mule-style slip-ons from Birkenstock. Crafted from a supple soft suede upper featuring a penny loafer-inspired vamp and natural leather insole, these are the ideal choice for laid-back weekends in the city or at the cottage.
Leather Cap-Toe Oxfords, Santoni
A classic black Oxford is an essential in any season, though especially important to have on hand ahead of the many events that take place during the spring and summer months. From weddings to graduations to special events and more, these staple Italian-made shoes will see lots of use this season.
No matter the season, a well-rounded shoe rotation depends on a few key styles that carry you from tailored moments to relaxed weekends with ease.
A dependable dress shoe anchors business tailoring and summer formalwear — think lightweight suits in navy, grey, or seersucker. A refined trainer pairs easily with athleticwear, joggers, or travel-ready separates. Suede loafers complement linen trousers and open-collar shirts for effortless warm-weather polish, while casual slides or mules finish relaxed off-duty looks with ease.
Whatever’s on the cards for you this spring and summer, the right pair of shoes will help you look and feel your best.
