Men's sandals and slides
D.Franklin men's sandals and slides include wide-strap designs, buckled options and clogs. Start by deciding how much coverage you want and which type of adjustment suits you.
Slides slip on without fastening, while buckles adjust the areas where they are fitted. Clogs cover the front of the foot, changing both the feel of the fit and the appearance of the outfit.
Materials and origin depend on the design
The collection brings together EVA options and suede finishes. Some suede designs are identified as made in Spain; this applies to those options, not automatically to the whole selection. Check material and origin information for your choice.
Styling open footwear
Slides work with shorts and simple clothing, while buckled sandals and clogs can also accompany lightweight trousers. Explore men's shoes to compare silhouettes and new arrivals for more finishes.
Choosing size and support
- Check that toes and heels remain within the footbed.
- Adjust buckles without compressing the instep.
- Walk a few steps to assess how much the foot moves.
- Try them with socks if that is how you plan to wear them.
Care and use for each material
Suede and EVA need different care: follow the finish-specific instructions and dry away from direct heat. Do not assume every sandal is suitable for getting wet. Compare open and enclosed designs in the wider D.Franklin footwear collection.
Questions about men's sandals and slides
How do slides, buckled sandals and clogs differ?
Slides hold the foot with a strap, buckles let you adjust their straps, and clogs cover the front of the foot. Choose according to coverage and fit.
Are they all made in Spain?
That origin should not be attributed to the entire collection. Some suede designs specify Spanish manufacture; check the information for the option you are considering.
Can I get any sandal wet?
No. Suitability for water depends on the material and the stated use. In particular, do not treat a suede finish as though it were a single-piece EVA design.
How can I tell if the size is right?
Toes and heels should remain within the footbed. Check the size guide and walk to make sure the foot does not move excessively or extend over the edges.
Can buckles correct a size that is too large?
No. They adjust certain areas but do not change the length of the base. Choose the correct size first, then adjust the straps without overtightening.
Can I wear them with socks?
Yes, depending on the outfit you prefer. Try the footwear with the intended sock thickness, especially clogs or designs with less room over the instep.
How do I clean suede sandals?
Follow the finish's care instructions and use suede-compatible tools. Avoid soaking them or drying them near a heat source, and check compatibility before applying a cleaner.
