One of the best parts about summer is having the opportunity to spend time outside with friends and family. I don’t know about you, but over the winter I forget how great the smell of burning charcoal is and how relaxing a summer sunset can be.

If you’re anything like me, you probably jump at every possible opportunity to fire up the grill. Friends looking for something to do? In-laws visiting for the weekend? Neighbors just want an excuse to be outside?

Let’s fill the cooler with ice, turn on the bug zapper, and get the chicken in some marinade.

If you or your husband live the backyard barbecuing lifestyle like I do, than you should check out some of these latest trends in men’s outdoor footwear.

Crocs Classic

Perfect for running in and out of the house to grab ingredients, these slip-ons keep the dirt out of the doorway and my wife from getting annoyed. Crocs are known for comfort and durability—a good choice for those spur-of-the-moment parties.

 

Keen Men’s Newport H2 Sandal

Keen sandals are slightly more casual than Crocs, and you don’t lose any of the comfort. These Keen shoes in particular are great for hiking on a trail and through water, so working your way around the yard definitely isn’t a problem.

 

 

Propet Men’s Surf Walker Sport Sandal

I have to recommend another sport sandal. These Propet Men’s Surf Walker sandals are HUGELY popular right now because they’re light-weight, casual, and socks are completely unnecessary. It’s summer. We wear socks enough as it is the rest of the year.

 

 

New Balance Men’s Rev Plush Sandal

This last pick is a New Balance sandal specifically made for comfort. Practically everywhere on the sandal is memory foam, so you don’t even have to worry about the pains of breaking in a new pair.
