Transitional weather is notorious for being deceptively hard to dress for—especially when to comes to footwear. Some days it feels like summer, and you’ve got your toes hangin’ out, and other days, your feet are swaddled up, clad in rain boots. The weather is unpredictable, as is your footwear game.

But that’s why we’re here. Instead of just telling you to keep your Rainbows and Hunter boots on hand, we’re keeping you up to speed on the shoe trends you’re about to see all over this spring. There’s something for every type of man and his closet: we’ve got funky fisherman sandals, sleek ultra-low-profile sneakers (or simple canvas pairs that seem to never leave fashion’s orbit), and if you want to get really edgy with it, you can even look at our T-bar loafer selection.

You don’t need to try every type of shoe on this list (I mean, you can—if you’ve got the budget and shoe storage space). Just pick a style that suits you or go for one pushes you outside of your comfort zone. Either way, it’s a surefire path to dressing for success this spring.

Fisherman Sandals

While you can trace fisherman sandals back to the Roman Empire, the style is still cool today. In fact, it’s never been cooler. Originally beloved for being durable, quick-drying, and breathable, they’ve now undergone contemporary twists that add a sleek versatility to the look. We’re even seeing luxury designers like Ralph Lauren and Manolo Blahnik embracing the cage design.

Canvas Sneakers

Tried and true, the canvas sneaker is here to stay. You can swap out your current pair of Converse for a slightly updated design from SeaVees or Quince, or you can feel confident investing in a luxury pair from Thom Browne because they aren’t going out of style anytime soon.

Backless Loafers

Loafers are always a wardrobe staple, but get a bit more creative with it this spring. A backless loafer—aside from giving your feet some much needed air flow on those hot days—is the equivalent of a mullet. It’s all business in the front, party in the back. Go for a classic from Gucci or switch it up for Sabah’s mule-like style.

T-Bar Mary Janes

Don’t knock it ’til you try it. We’ve been waiting a long time to see the day that T-Bar loafers make their way into men’s wardrobe rotations, and it looks like that day has officially arrived. It’s like a loafer, but with just a little more personality. Bieber and Harry Styles have done it, Dr. Martens is now offering men’s sizes in its iconic styles—it’s happening.

Ultra-Low-Profile Sneakers

Heeding Lil Jon’s advice circa 2002, we are going low. We’re talking even lower than low-tops. It’s essentially the brainchild of a driving loafer and a streamlined sneaker. From Golden Goose to Common Projects, there’s an ultra-low-profile sneaker for every minimalist out there.
