Men's Sandals

This collection of 34 pairs is the answer to that. These are sandals built on the same construction logic as the boots: real leather, substantial strapping, metal hardware, a proper outsole. They look like they come from the same wardrobe, because they do.

What the collection covers

Sandals as a single product type, but with more variation inside it than the label suggests.

Gladiator and multi-strap styles are the ones that read most clearly as part of an alternative wardrobe. Several horizontal straps across the foot, sometimes extending up the ankle, usually with buckle closures. Substantial visual weight, which is what lets them sit alongside heavier clothing.

Buckled single and double-strap sandals are the quieter everyday option — enough hardware to be interesting, simple enough to wear without thought.

Fisherman and closed-toe styles cover the foot more fully, which makes them considerably more wearable in a city than an open sandal and the right choice if you dislike exposing your toes.

Slide and open-back constructions are the easiest to get on and off and the most casual thing here.

Heavier-soled sandals apply a lugged or thick outsole to an open upper — the most distinctive combination on the page and the most useful, because the sole gives you grip and presence that a flat sandal lacks.

Thirteen colours, which is unusually generous

This is one of the broadest colour ranges in any footwear category on the site, and that is appropriate — summer is the one season where an alternative wardrobe can reasonably open up.

Black is still the largest group and still the one that integrates with everything else you own.

Brown and coffee are the natural leather tones and the most versatile non-black choice. They work with denim, with linen, with earth tones, and they look better as they age.

Army green and khaki are the utilitarian direction and pair naturally with cargo and military-influenced clothing.

Gold is the statement finish and genuinely works in summer in a way it does not in winter.

Blue, light blue, green and yellow are the warm-weather colours — the group worth considering if you want one item in your wardrobe that is not dark.

Red and wine red are the accent options that still read as serious.

Materials, and what to choose for heat

Ten material options, and in summer footwear the choice has an immediate effect on comfort.

Genuine leather is the best long-term choice and the one that improves. It breathes, it moulds to your foot within a week, and a leather sandal at year three fits better than at week one. The strapping also holds its shape rather than stretching out.

Leather at the broader grade behaves similarly for less.

Mesh is the most breathable upper available here and the right answer if you overheat or walk a great deal. Dries quickly too.

Cotton and denim uppers appear on the more casual styles — soft against the foot, cooler than any synthetic, and they wash.

Synthetic leather is the vegan structured option, consistent in finish, wipe-clean, lower priced. It breathes less than real leather, which matters more in a sandal than in a boot.

Spandex shows up in stretch panels, which is a genuine comfort advantage — it lets a strap accommodate a foot that swells through a hot day.

EVA and plastic are used for lightweight sole units and moulded footbeds. EVA in particular cuts weight dramatically, which is the difference between a sandal you forget you are wearing and one you do not.

Rubber is the grip outsole and the material to look for if you will be walking on wet stone, festival ground or anything uneven.

Three brands

NEW ROCK applies its Spanish leatherwork to open footwear, which produces the most substantial sandals in the collection — genuine leather, real hardware, and the same build philosophy as their boots. These do not look like summer compromises.

PINJIAHUI covers the contemporary and accessible end, with more colour variation and the lighter sole units.

HARD'N'HEAVY supplies the in-house range, including the straightforward black strap sandals that most customers buy first.

Gothic, grunge, punk and rock in an open shoe

Four style lines, and in sandals the differences are almost entirely about hardware and strap architecture.

Gothic sandals are black, multi-strapped, with buckle arrays and often a heavier sole. The group that integrates most seamlessly with the rest of a dark wardrobe.

Punk is harder and more minimal — plain black, exposed hardware, nothing ornamental.

Grunge covers the worn-leather, deliberately unpolished look, often in brown.

Rock is the broadest and most wearable group — leather, moderate hardware, no statement.

Fit, and why sandals are easier than boots

Sizing a sandal is more forgiving than any closed shoe, because adjustable buckles handle most of the variation. That said, two things still matter.

Measure your foot length in centimetres, heel to longest toe, and match it against the chart on the specific product page. The footbed needs to be long enough that your toes and heel both sit on it — a foot overhanging either end is uncomfortable and looks wrong.

Check the strap adjustment range if you have a high instep or a broad foot. Buckle sandals usually have several holes; stretch-panel styles accommodate more still.

Measure in the evening. Feet swell in heat substantially more than most people account for, and a sandal is worn precisely when that is happening.

In stock and custom made

The availability filter separates immediate stock from Custom Made pairs built to order. Custom orders extend delivery but open up sizes and finishes never held in stock.

How to wear them

The honest answer: cropped or rolled trousers, or tailored shorts. A sandal under a full-length trouser looks accidental.

Black multi-strap sandals with black rolled jeans is the straightforward alternative summer look and requires no thought. Brown leather with linen or lighter trousers is the smarter version. Heavier-soled sandals work with shorts in a way flat ones do not, because the sole gives the outfit a base.

Socks with sandals is a choice you are entitled to make and we are not going to argue about it.

What to buy

First pair: black multi-strap in leather or synthetic, rubber outsole. Integrates with everything, survives a festival.

Second pair: brown genuine leather. It gets better every year and it opens up the lighter half of summer dressing.
