Adventure sandals have a big reputation for keeping our feet cushioned and comfortable, but they’re not exactly known for being easy on the eyes.

7. Merrell Kahuna Web Sandal, $90 $80.99

This silhouette may remind you of a certain iconic leather style, but this PCU sandal is actually waterproof and nonslip, so you can wear it to the pool or beach without fear.
10. Puma Game On Rider Sandal, $65
Chunky athletic shoes have already been trending for a bit, so it’s only right that there should be a breathable equivalent for the summer months.
