Here Are 5 Affordable Top-Rated Shoes That Are Perfect For Springtime

Amazon


I run into this problem every damn Spring–lacking a solid pair of shoes to rock with shorts. I typically throw on some high tops and end up looking like a giant toolshed for five months. That ends this Spring. For those of us on the East Coast, we’re about two months away from full-on shorts weather and lets make it easy on ourselves by buying just one or two pairs of versatile, good-looking shoes to accentuate our summer threads.

Here are 5 sharp, well-rated spring shoes for your consideration.

Sanuk Casa Barco Boat Shoe

Amazon


Very affordable and versatile. Wear these casual boat shoes to the beach, work or school with an endless pant/short pairing. Solid everyday shoes for when the sun comes out.

I posted the white and blue colorway pictures because I couldn’t decide which ones I liked better. These kicks are lightweight and flexible and feature genuine rawhide laces and a non-marking rubber outsole. Good shoes to wear to a warm weather date.

Sperry Mens Wahoo S/O Suede

Sperry


The best of both world. The suede says “I’m trying hard” and the slip-ons say “I’m not trying enough.” Keep ’em on their toes. These shoes feature a soft textile lining for all-day comfort and breathability and have gotten great reviews online.

UGG Men’s Larken Stripe Perf Sneaker

Ugg


I know when you think of Uggs you think of a basic chick in the mall with a North Face fleece and a Starbucks coffee, but I have a pair of Uggs and can testify that they are a godsend. Durable and comfortable and Tom Brady wears them. These shoes are a bit pricey but are made with imported leather and are breathable and moisture-wicking.

Nike SB Portmore II Solar Canvas

Nike


There’s something artful about that black Nike swoosh on top of that grey backdrop that gives off a handsome, clean look. The swoosh doesn’t serve as a cluttered distraction but a tasteful accent on a versatile spring shoe.

The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
