Admittedly, letting the dogs out isn't everybody's cup of tea. Just like jorts, sandals are a hotly-debated topic in menswear, polarizing almost.

Fact of the matter is, however, that there are way too many ways to enjoy a foot-freeing choice of shoe for guys to simply opt out of the category altogether.

Mules, flip flops, clogs — not all sandals are created equal, but all of y'all are equally entitled to emancipation from foot-phobia, and a perfect pair of them for your tootsies to enjoy.

So, get that pedicure, head to the SSENSE summer sale, and secure a deal on fashionably freaky sandals so good you'll never want to fully re-wrap your feet ever again.

If we're gonna debate the vastness of the sandal category, we might as well start off this list with some that, by certain standards, wouldn't count as such. Well, here they do.

One might argue that slides are the most stripped-down, holiday-by-the-water form of sandal. But with its grippy soles, this version's more gorp than getaway.

Not all pool slides are just pool slides. Because they're Martine, I'll give these a sandal-pass.

The towering sole and luxe buckles on these go to show that men's sandals mustn't read as informal, outdoorsy or nerdy, but can match a more elegant vibe just the same.

Paul Smith Suede Fisherman Sandals

A true classic, the fisherman or Roman-style sandal is, too, living proof that open-toe-shoes do not equate to an outfit less refined. Quite the contrary, actually, when you think about what'd be most peoples' closed-toe alternatives.

A.P.C. Black Sandals
