Best walking sandals of 2023 for men, women and kids tried and tested

May 31, 2023

These are the only sandal on the list specifically marketed towards wet adventures. They’re less open than the others on the list but the mesh upper lets water both in and out while keeping out gravel and sand. They’ve also got a collapsible heel which means they can be used as more of a mule or slider too. They’re the perfect swimming shoe too and the quicklace system even has a pocket on the tongue.

The multi directional grips give incredible traction even on wet rocks. They’re both lightweight and fast draining with brilliant shock absorption too. These were fantastic on dry ground as well as wet, keeping gravel out and letting the foot breathe. They’re also incredibly lightweight and very fast drying too.

The men’s sandal (£100, Salomon.com) is usually available in four differernt colour schemes – blue and black, grey and blue, black, grey – however, only one colour scheme and size is shoppable at the moment. But you can select the colour and size you prefer and sign up to receive a notification when it’s back in stock. Meanwhile, the womens’ are available in three colour schemes; an orange and dusky pink, a white and green and a green.
